Y-3 Black Wool Duffle Coat
Caroline loves this because…the autumn 2010 menswear shows have confirmed: it’s time for the duffle coat to step back into the limelight. Season to season, year to year, no trend nudges the faithful duffel out of the frame. Paddington Bear’s eternal and loyal friend will forever evoke childhood nostalgia, but Y-3’s interpretation errs on the right side of sophisticated. Its extended toggles give a nod to its sharper older brother, the pea coat, which make kicking up leaves look like a perfectly acceptable pastime for grown women. £485
