    Faux fur is everywhere - there are options from cropped to long. I love this for evening, and I also enjoy a long fur moment with jeans and a sweater and sneakers - it feels very model off duty.

    Favorite daughter really caught my eye with this style, I love the sweater sleeves, and the ivory boucle. If you already have a lot of coats in your wardrobe, consider adding ivory - especially if you have other cream pieces in your wardrobe - cream coats always remind me of Cameron Diaz in The Holiday - a look I always love.

Travel Looks for Every Destination

8 Looks

Weekend Escape: When traveling with just a carry-on, every piece needs to pull double (or triple) duty. This coat works as both an activewear layer and a versatile style piece you can mix and match effortlessly. Pair the cashmere t-shirt with a sequin or satin skirt for a chic evening look, style the cropped pants with a festive sweater for cozy gatherings, and let the boots tie it all together—they go with everything.

Sunshine Retreat: This look effortlessly takes you from plane to dinner while keeping a festive touch with darker accents. Each piece is a versatile wardrobe staple: the trench layers beautifully over all your outfits, the white button-up pairs seamlessly with trousers or a fun skirt, and the jeans complement everything else in your carry-on. These timeless investments will elevate your travel wardrobe for years to come. And don’t forget the travel wrap—a stylist favorite that doubles as a cozy scarf and blanket for those chilly plane or car rides

Mountain Escape: This patent leather puffer is the ultimate layering piece, adding warmth and a bold statement to all your winter looks. The fleece-lined leggings are a travel essential—perfect for staying cozy on the go, tackling winter activities, or lounging in style. Elevate your après-ski wardrobe by pairing the updated Fair Isle sweater with classic denim for daytime or a satin maxi skirt for an effortlessly chic evening look.

Heading to the City: Showcase a little more edge with your look while keeping it elevated. Soften darker layers with cream accessories for contrast, and let this coat seamlessly transition from cocktail attire to casual city outings. The versatile ankle boots are a wardrobe powerhouse, pairing effortlessly with pants, skirts, denim, and more.

Long Haul Flight: This faux shearling coat is your ultimate winter companion, keeping you warm and stylish whether you’re strolling through a Christmas market or exploring winter cities like London and Paris. Stay cozy on the plane in a cashmere set, and repurpose the sweater with denim for effortless sightseeing looks. Chic and versatile for all your winter adventures.

Tropical Getaway: A packable winter coat is a must-have for everyday life and a game-changer for warm-weather travel. These silk pants are effortlessly chic—pair them with a tank and sandals when you arrive, or wear them for a comfortable travel look. Layer with a cashmere sweater for the journey, which also doubles as the perfect layer over summer dresses or skirts on cooler evenings.

Plane to Party: Holiday travel often calls for quick turnarounds—sometimes there’s no time to change or even unpack. This look is both chic and comfortable, perfect for a flight and whatever comes after. Let the coat double as a statement piece, and channel a model-off-duty vibe with a t-shirt and denim. The cashmere dress transitions effortlessly, styled casually with flat boots or loafers for a polished yet relaxed look.

Winter Road Trip: When it’s cold outside, staying cozy is key—especially on a long drive. This luxurious matching set from LESET is perfect for ultimate comfort. Layer with a warm cardigan to stay snug during the journey (and for those gas station or charging stops). Once you arrive, swap the cardigan for a chic coat to elevate your look. A simple hairpin and necklace complete the ensemble, keeping your hair effortlessly styled without a hair tie in sight.
