I'm a huge fan of trench coats.
On my trip home to see my parents last week, Dad gave me one he's never worn — an off-white, barely gray trench that will be perfect to wear Tuesday, what with all this rain.
It's one of the best things about fall, in my opinion — not the rain, per se, but the opportunity to wear trench coats, which are probably my favorite type of outerwear.
Women will find several varieties at Kohl's, for example, with my favorites being a ruffled and pleated trench by Elle ($90), a plaid trench from Apt. 9 ($160) and a tan Dana Buchman one with black detailing.

In the 14 years since the inception of Key to the Cure, Saks and its vendors and partners have raised more than $33 million for cancer research.
