We’ve never felt any colder this season. It could be sunny one minute and raining cats and dogs the next – or it just upright rains for the entire day. While it is a nice break away from the sweltering sun, you’ve gotta admit, it’s a bit too chilly. Yes, we’re aware we’re never happy, deal with it.
Considering the fact that the temperature is said to be dropping below 23 degrees, we’d say it’s rather crucial to invest in some outerwear. Splurging just on a jacket or coat that you won’t wear that often may sound frivolous, but the rainy days are bound to return and you’ll definitely find yourself fishing out for something warm once more. Not to mention, you’d be prepped for your vacations to countries that are a little chilly too.
So to help you out, we picked a couple of jackets and coats that are stylish and appropriate for the office so you don’t end up looking too OTT. Best of all, our picks are all under $100!
