UNDER COVER
When it comes to coats, comfort, comfort, comfort is the mantra. Next winter's top layer is luxurious without looking ostentatious. What to buy: Even the most austere wrap-and-tie coats have a sense of ease now. Major must-haves are the fur-lined parkas (throw over everything from folksy dresses to miniskirts) and the sweeping maxi. Even more flexible is the military-spiced double-breasted coat, which promises to look as good with a pair of the new wider pants as it does with an ornate metallic skirt.
