Vail Coat

Why it's worth it

A puffer coat shaped like a bathrobe — somehow, that's the right answer for winter.

The Edit

Floor-length quilted taffeta in a robe-cut silhouette — the volume is extreme, the belt is self-tie, and the hood folds back with enough depth to function as a scarf replacement. Zip vents at the hem prevent the length from becoming a liability in motion. The ivory taffeta shell reads almost matte, keeping the massive proportions from tipping into parka territory.
