From chic parkas to modern military coats, outerwear this season has a new attitude. Style expert Jenn Falik shares affordable, must-have trends for mom, dad and the kids:
Modern military
Elements of classic military jackets combined with modern fashion details — such as crystal embellishments, over-sized collars and cargo pockets — give hunter green hues a decidedly trend-forward facelift.

Go-to moto
A Harley is most definitely not required for this season's crop of motorcycle-inspired jackets. Tweed, metallic leather, and full-length dress coats are taking on zippers and asymmetrical details typically reserved for the back of a bike.

Perfect puffer
These have the same functionality as those old Michelin Man puffy coats but in sleeker silhouettes that are more body conscious and flattering, with high design fashion details.
