Best Bet: Herringbone Trench

Eryn Brinie’s Emily thick wool trench can carry you through rainy winter days. The classic silhouette is universally flattering, but this style includes modern touches, like a half-bow belt, strong shoulder, and pleated bottom. The herringbone pattern is a welcome respite from ubiquitous khaki and black.
