The Find: an awesome jacket for a woman who refuses to wear Canada Goose

Jackets can be very boring for fall and winter, with most people sporting a double-breasted peacoat, a Canada Goose jacket, some other parka or a fur-trimmed poncho-cape (with a seasonal muff, of course). We found this awesome orange Joe Fresh neoprene jacket (with matching belt, not shown) at the Queen and Portland location, and, frankly, it made our winter blahs go away. The colour is a real head-turner (it also comes in green, for those people who have an aversion to orange), and we really just like the idea of a neoprene coat. We don’t recommend hitting the icy water with it on though, because this is a piece of fashion, not functional surf wear (but seriously, there’s no reason to be hitting the icy waters at all, because you should be sitting by a fire drinking a hot toddy). Layer with a sweater and scarf for maximum comfort. $99.
