One of J.Crew’s most classic silhouettes, this fitted coat is designed with a cinched waist that offers some shape—a rarity among long wool coats. It hits just above the knee, meaning it’s ideal for cold-weather layering—but if you need serious protection from the cold and wind, you might prefer something longer. “I have Raynaud’s and run cold in general, so topcoats aren’t generally warm enough for me,” says Glamour commerce director Brie Schwartz. “But this fitted jacket from J.Crew is deceptively cozy. I’ve had it for five years, and while the Thinsulate liner started to shed after a while, it’s nothing a tailor couldn’t patch up. If I know I’m going to be outside for long periods of time, I’ll probably still reach for my Canada Goose, but of all the dressier wool options I’ve tried through the decades, this one has been the best.”
