When the temperatures plummet this fall and winter, be ready for the necessary and hot outerwear.  Finding the right outerwear can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.  However, this fall Calvin Klein released a gorgeous line of outwear for women. 

The collection is inspirational as it draws on a palette of black, grey and silver tones.  It is a mixture of a romantic look with a bit of edge. 

To start, the black puffer vest is perfect if you want a laid back sleek look on a mild fall day.  Then the classic houndstooth coats are perfect for everyday wear.  They can take a simple black outfit and add a bit of sass, while keeping the winter chills away.  

Leather is heating up the runways this year.  I will never forget the first time I was in Florence in the leather market.  My friend wanted to have a leather jacket made from Italy.  We sat down with a designer and looked at several leather styles.  Calvin Klein’s jackets have clean cuts and a fun metalic leather coat that is sure to make a statement on a winter evening out with friends or an afternoon stroll through the park.  

Finally, the mohair winter coat is perfect for a romantic date.  With the way that this coat moves, it creates a sort of majestic look for any hard working woman.  No matter what you choose to pull on over your hot look, be sure to have a few outwear staples to keep you warm, styled and ready for whatever comes your way!
