Style Finds: Coat Check

It’s officially March, which means warm weather and spring fashion is (finally) on the way. A lightweight topper is a true seasonal wardrobe essential – especially in Chicago, where we see plenty of chilly mornings and breezy nights.

I’ve received a number of e-mails lately about which jackets to buy this spring, so I thought I’d dedicate this week’s Style Finds series to three of my favorite trends:

While these Burberry jackets will always been a cult favorite, opt for an update on this
fall classic and invest in one with shortened hems and a belted waist.

Sharpen up a pair of shorts or skinnies with a refined blazer.

A lightweight anorak is the perfect segue from spring to summer.
