If there's one thing I really love about fall, it's the fashion. And if I had to pick one part of fall fashion I love the most, it has to be outerwear. There is no greater fashion equalizer than a perfect cozy coat. I have literally worn my pyjamas to drop my kids off at school and I'm sure nobody had a clue. The trick? A banging black maxi coat, worn with oversized sunglasses and cool white Nike kicks. A good coat allows you to wear whatever you want underneath, ironed or not, and always look well dressed. Which kind of makes it the superhero of your fall wardrobe, don't you think?

This fall, there are so many toppers to get excited about. While the weather waffles, I'm stoked about the cute bombers and denim jackets in store. I'm especially loving the merlot and army green silky bombers for wearing solo over jeans, and the classic and extra-long denim jackets for wearing alone or layered under blazers and wool coats. Once the mercury dips (as it's bound to do one of these days), it's all about the statement oversized coat. A soft wool or wool blend coat in black, camel or navy is always classic, but then again, a cozy leopard print coat is tempting, too. From parkas to puffers to pretty shawl collars, you'll always be well dressed with the help of a great fall coat.

I've always believed that a woman can never have too many coats. But if you live in Thunder Bay, you can actually say this and mean it. I mean, between fall and spring, we're talking 8 solid months of outerwear needs. You need a coat you can count on, a jacket that just won't quit and a parka that can prove its worth time and time again.

This fall might be the perfect time to update your outerwear collection. Whether you've actually worn out your old coats or your current coats are simply way out-of-date, we've got loads of new options for you to consider this year. From lightweight vests and anoraks, to fashion slayers that are never an afterthought, to cozy coats that will keep you covered no matter what the forecast brings, see our all-out outerwear edit below.

Wooly Bullyyyy. Wooly Bully.

Wooly Bully.  Wooly Bully. Wooly Bully. Watch me now...derrr derrr, der der der dum...

Try to get that song, and this coat out of your head.  It's from Cleo.  No, I know you've never shopped there before.  Neither have I to be perfectly Frank.  Hi, I'm Frank.  But I love this boiled wool oh-zo-European-looking coat.  Perfect for the drop-off or the grocery-shop and everyone will ask where you got it.  Only you (and I) will know that it's not designer. Shhh...it'll be our little secret.
