NICOLE BENISTI

Essex quilted wool-blend coat

Nicole Benisti’s outerwear label is based in Montreal, so she knows how to create layers that keep you warm in the harshest conditions. The brand’s latest style is aptly named after another not-so-warm part of the world: the Essex coat. Whipped up from a warming wool blend, it’s topped with a super-fluffy oversized collar to keep you snug on sub-zero days. And on those rarer days when the clouds have cleared, simply pop the removable collar off so you can feel the sun on your skin.
