Just because the weekend is over...

... doesn't mean that you can't still leave the house in an outfit that will turn heads. This afternoon I'll be bringing you a couple of great deals on outerwear that will not only keep you warm as Fall rears its chilly head. 

First, for the ladies, is this wool jacket from Boden. Boden_jacket

For those of you unfamiliar with Boden, they are a newer (read: less than 20 years old) design company based in England.  What I've always appreciated about their work is that they have clothes that not only are highly fashionable, more importantly, their clothes all look comfortable. This jacket is no exception: the user ratings on the site give it an average of 4.8 out of 5 possible stars. Throw it on over a t-shirt if you're going out at night and think you might be chilly, layer it over a sweater for when Winter hits full force. This jacket is what some of us call a "chameleon" jacket - it blends with whatever style you want to use it with; it is a unique complement to your dressier outfits, but also looks completely natural when worn with casual everyday clothes. The coat is available in three colors, and if this is your first ever Boden purchase, you are eligible for 12% off on top of free shipping.




For the men, here is one of my all-time favorites: the classic pea coat. Pea_coat_2


This coat is an item that every man should have as an option. Regardless of your style, from preppy to punk, this coat goes with anything, and a wool coat like this will keep you warm no matter what. I will admit, on a personal note, it's almost a little too nautical to pair it with a white turtleneck like they do in the picture, but then again, that's just my opinion. I prefer to wear it with a plain white t-shirt and jeans or a print shirt with gray slacks. No matter how you pair it, it's a fine looking coat and is best when augmented by a bold colored scarf.

No matter how you dress them up, these two coats are a great way to get ready for fall and look great in the process, and with the everyday savings through Ebates, you can save enough money to buy a scarf to keep your neck warm and cozy as well.

What brand is the pea coat in the second picture?

Jon - it's a Perry Ellis. Unfortunately, they're not active on our site any longer. I also checked their site out of interest, and it doesn't appear that they have their winter line in yet.
