In the entire collection these two pieces have to be my favorite. I would wear this wool coat everyday. It is just perfectly designed. The cut is appealing because it's not too tight but it is still very well fitted to the body. The coat hits right at the waist and not a step further, which sometimes is a very desirable trait in outerwear. The positioning of the buttons makes the face of the coat look a bit more presentable, even though I would have gone with some different buttons I do believe that those buttons are the most functional buttons that they could have chosen. You have the option to change the buttons but be warned the buttons that you want to put on it to make it look better may not be as resilient as the ones it came with. The collar is masterfully trimmed with leather and my favorite feature on the entire coat is the epaulette's on the shoulders, which served as the icing on the cake (and I don't even eat cake) .
How can you go wrong with a cardigan? I've always loved cardigan's because they are a bit less restricting than a sweater but you still get the same comfort and warmth. The V neck on most cardigans is perfect to showcase your tie and a bit of your shirt. If the weather permits you can leave the cardigan open. Sometimes when you wear an oversized cardigan it works better if you leave it open. Think of it as a free spirit, buttoning it will be like trying to restrict or contain a free spirit; not a good outcome. The cardigan seen above won me over for one reason: attention to design. I noticed that the sleeves were ribbed, very nice feature. Although if your arms aren't as long as the model seen above then the sleeves might be too long but that won't be much of a problem even without a tailor you can simple fold then one time right at the stitching from the ribbing. Once again we see the nothing below the waist safety feature which is exactly where you want a cardigan to stop unless of course it is a purposely oversized cardigan. My favorite feature on this cardigan has to be the faux leather trim encasing the buttons down the front; very nice.
