Spring is finally here! It's almost time to store away those heavy coats, and slip into something brighter and lighter. Here's a roundup of the season's best coats, trenches, jackets, and cardigans. They will keep you comfortably chic throughout the season. 

La Double J Milano

Let's get the sticker shock out of the way. I begin with the most expensive, because it is the most exciting to me. The vibrant pattern and color will brighten up the rainiest day. Made in Italy from slightly stretchy canvas fabric.

Net-a-Porter

Cassidy Jacket

Denim done differently. So many details, beginning with the faded red denim, the raw pleated hem, those buttons and stand up collar. A great piece for under $170.
