#The best coats, bags and Moon Boots for winter 2021

Soft landing

When the stars align, greatness manifests. Case in point: Gabriela Hearst’s debut fall 2021 collection for luxury French label Chloé. The Uruguayan designer’s claims to fame range from dressing the first lady, Dr. Jill Biden, in her historic white Inauguration gown to maintaining a steadfast commitment to sustainable luxury threads, all of which have earned her a cult-like following. For her first outing under the storied house, Hearst reached for the sartorial stars, unveiling the season’s boot du jour: Chloé x Moon Boot. Designed in earthy tones synonymous with the French label and made with biodegradable soles, recycled laces and lower-impact leather, the collaboration embodies what true luxury looks like at a time when we’re all seeking comfort — for ourselves and the planet.

Shear factor

Coach and Jennifer Lopez are cozying up for a second collaboration. The New York-based brand and the Bronx-born “I’m Real” singer celebrate authenticity with a collection that combines their unique, iconic aesthetics. Standout styles include shearling pieces that marry glamour with sporty edge, and handbags featuring Coach’s quintessential turnlock hardware. As J.Lo herself puts it, “It’s the unedited, unfiltered, raw version of us.”

Gold standard

He may not have invented aviator shades, but Michael Kors has certainly set the bar sky high for his signature sunglasses shape. Toasting 40 years of jet-set style, the NYC-based designer gives these limited-edition lenses the Midas touch, with 18-karat gold frames and his autograph etched along the inside tip. Like everything Kors sets his sights on, the result is visionary.

Fine print

Uptown, Bloomingdale’s Aqua label has partnered with Pendleton, patterning their collaboration after the woolen brand’s heritage “Pilot Rock” and “Wyeth Trail” prints. The collection, available Oct. 26, incorporates Aqua’s modern style and materials with Pendleton’s dyed-in-the-wool commitment to craftsmanship — offering a head-to-toe assortment, from quilted jackets ($148 to $198) to blouses ($68) and skirts ($68).

Treasure trove

After relinquishing the reins of his business to Brooks Brothers five years ago, jewelry designer Alexis Bittar is back at the helm, celebrating with store openings all around the city, from Soho to the Upper East Side. Step inside to ogle his sculptural, mixed-material pieces, and you’ll find yourself immersed in Bittar’s eerily chic inspirations, ranging from art galleries to abandoned institutions, and brought to life by Tony Award-winning scenic designer, Scott Pask.

Four of a kind: Ladylike bags
