Chilly weather may be rolling in with a vengeance, but it’s nothing a nice jacket and hat can’t fix. Stay warm and look cool with these picks.

For Men: Bowler Hat

Think back to the days of The Great Gatsby; the whaling saxophones, the crash symbols, the glitz and glamour of early twentieth-century New York City. This hat oozes sophistication reminiscent of the ’20s, but when paired with a plaid shirt, slim cardigan and straight-cut jeans, for example, it brings an old touch to a new standard. Wear this hat over your slicked-back hair, and you just may be the next Gatsby…or James Dean.

Bowler Hat: $24 at Maude Vintage (818 E. Broadway)

For Women: Burberry Trench Coat

Burberry never ceases to create timeless pieces, and its classic trench coat is no exception. Made famous with the British military years ago, the trench’s sharp structure and sturdy gabardine material make it stylish and weather-proof.

The Burberry trench is an investment piece (i.e. it could easily equal one mortgage payment or the cost of one college course), but this means you’ll have it for years and it won’t go out of style. This one, thrifted at Blackberry Exchange, is in great shape and gives you the same bang for less buck.
