It’s that lovely time of year when you need a jacket, but full-blown parkas are too much.

Lightweight jackets to the rescue, like this plaid car coat.

Car coats are typically longer in length + roomier in fit; they have a definite menswear vibe. This coat from ASOS is lightweight, almost like a cardigan masquerading as a jacket. For a cooler fall morning, it was an easy choice to throw on over a standard v-neck t-shirt, gray skinnies, and a pair of monk strap flats.

I’ve been seeing monk strap shoes everywhere this fall. They’re a great combination of tough + classic. I wear them just as I do oxfords; they work with jeans (as pictured here), but also add an edge to a dress.

  10. I think a car coat is the same as a duster coat? They’re so on trend right now. Love the plaid pattern and the items you’ve selected underneath. Hope you have a fab time doing the Wine Walk!
