Outerwear
Quick answer: One coat that covers commute and weekend beats two fashion coats you will not repeat. Length, cloth, and whether it actually sheds water.
Outerwear AOV is high, so a wrong coat is an expensive mistake. One-coat-for-fall-and-winter is the Nonchallant default: a cloth that layers, a length that covers a blazer, a colour that is not a ski jacket unless you ski.
Parka vs puffer is insulation and a skirt. Peacoat vs overcoat is formality and a cloth. Trench vs raincoat is a fabric that actually sheds. Bomber vs varsity is a logo-and-weight question.
Summer storage of wool is a moth and a shape problem — that care page sits next to these buy pages on purpose.
