2. Fall Foundations: The Transition Season
Fall is all about flexibility. Days can start cold, warm up by noon, and cool down again by evening. That’s where a leather trench coat comes in.
In early fall, reach for the Terry Men’s Brown Classic Leather Trench Coat lightweight but structured. Pair it with a turtleneck sweater, dark denim jeans, and Chelsea boots. The brown color works with fall’s earthy palette of rust, maroon and olive.

· Matte finishes for daytime wear.
· Burnt orange or deep navy scarf.
