If you are going to wear fleece, do it right. Every once in awhile you see an item that is comfy fleece masquerading as a stylish, well-tailored piece.

This J. Crew Antique Fleece Shawl Cardigan is just such a piece – a gorgeous sweater that just happens to be luxurious, comfortable fleece inside. Imagine looking put together at the office and feeling like you are wearing your PJs – and no one will be any the wiser. Try putting it together with a long trouser or a pencil skirt – great for those days this time of year that you are wearing lighter layers but the air conditioning leaves you a bit chilled.

Find it at J. Crew for $39.99.

Despite the fact that I have a lot of coats, I can never find one that’s right for this time of year when one day you don’t need a coat at all, other days you need a lightweight wool coat, and a trench is fine on other days. The J. Crew Citronella Coat fits the bill on days that layering is key. With it’s 60’s appeal and Peter Pan colar, it is sharp on it’s own and compliments a lot of other J. Crew clothes – try it with a polo or even last year’s Striped Pique Polo dress.
