Day before yesterday: warm and breezy, 70.
Yesterday: sustained 40 mph winds.
Today: torrential downpour, feels like 37.
Tomorrow: dark and gloomy, stay inside.

Could you guess it’s November? Baring your shoulders and wrapping up in winter coats on all the wrong days. And the skewed fashion season (Hello, spring ’06!) doesn’t much help the matter.

So imagine our glee when Smythe’s bolero jackets hit the scene. They’re just the thing for when Mother Nature goes loco with the weather.

The cropped jackets are made of mohair and have three-quarter-length sleeves and a single-button, double-breasted fit. Available in black and camel, they combine classic feel with a modern cut for an iconic silhouette.

Casual or dressy without too much coverage. Snug enough to give some warmth.

In a word — perfect. No matter what the weather guy may (or may not) tell you.

Available at Poppy, 281 Mott Street, between Houston and Prince Streets (212-219-8934); Barneys New York, 660 Madison Avenue, between 60th and 61st Streets (212-826-8900).
