Last night, it was a jacket that dragged me off the couch. It literally greased my wheels all 10.9 miles to Crescent Heights and Sunset for a dinner party. Which is why, if there’s one thing worth investing in this fall, I think it’s this: the jacket that gets you places. The one you can throw over whatever you’re already wearing and suddenly look like you had a plan. The one that helps me become one with Waze. I’m especially drawn to this season’s styles with a high neck, an embellished collar, some kind of fastening or flourish that makes everything underneath almost beside the point. Here are others that will earn their keep: the embroidered , above, this (on sale—I almost wore last night!), this vegan leather blazer, the $49 lace situation, below, the cropped jacket (the is compelling too), and ’s chocolate herringbone.
