LISTEN UP, GUYS: It's time to rid yourself of that ratty old fleece. Instead, we suggest you invest in one of this season's cool new cover-ups. "It's worth it to plunk down coin for coats that don't go out of style," says Mauro Farinelli of new Clarendon shop Farinelli's.

The best options? Updated classics with unusual details such as thumb holes, exposed zippers and flap pockets. It's not just your look that gets lifted. Farinelli says, "A great coat makes you feel both comfortable and confident."
