Down with ADD

Add Down Coats

Things tend to add up in your life. Your credit card statements and overstuffed closet are proof of that.

So maybe it’s time to start adding down.

Don’t worry; it won’t hurt a bit. Add down coats are lovely Italian-made outerwear that will keep you warm without compromising style.

The puffy jackets have a nylon exterior and are filled with feathers, but they eliminate the frump factor with sleek cuts in styles like trench, vest, bomber, and modern takes (long and short) on the traditional puffer. Details like nipped-in and belted waistlines, fuzzy collars, and understated stitching, along with the palette of navy, breen, amazon, bronze, oil, ebony, and ivory, make them a far cry from standard winter wear.

You’re sure to find something you can trudge around in all season long.

And that about sums it up.
