Best Bet: Elbow Room

The bomber jacket is a seasonal staple, whether it’s in leather or suede. This version from eryn brinié gives the traditional badass style a polished twist, with a wool-blend fabric, double-breasted front, and professorial elbow patches. It’s available in two shades — a tweedy beige and a muted blue — and each comes with a removable hooded scarf for salvaging your hair on windy nights. But our favorite part about it is the price: This preppy-cool version can be had for just over $100.

Lisa Jacket, $109 at eryn brinié or online.
