The Find: twelve fresh fall coats to combat end-of-summer blues
The Find: twelve fresh fall coats to combat end-of-summer blues
By Jean Grant |

This autumn, coats are brighter and funkier than ever. Instead of settling for muted seasonal tones (remember army green?), shoppers can opt for an oversized blazer in a bold floral pattern or a boyish bomber jacket in a refreshing pastel hue. Cozy quilted jackets are also making a comeback (we love the bright orange at Mackage). Plus, now that summer’s over, homegrown outerwear designers are really getting a chance to shine: Rudsak has just released a limited edition luxe rocker collection, and Smythe has debuted a chic anniversary collection, in honour of 10 years perfecting blazers. Here, twelve fresh new jackets for fall.

- If lightweight jersey bomber jackets aren't warm enough for you, this bright orange down number from <b>Mackage</b> ought to do the trick. (It's also great way to adapt the sporty trend for fall.) $350, <em><a href="http://www.mackage.com/ca/en/zadie-poppy-light-winter-down-quilted-jacket-for-women" target="_blank">mackage.com</a></em><br />
