A coat, a getaway
On Friday morning, the coffee is still steaming when you look out the window. The trees have nearly lost their leaves, and the November air calls for a collar turned up. The plan is simple: a few days somewhere different, a walk without watching the time and a stop for lunch along the way. Your scarf is waiting by the door. Now for the coat.
Women · Short jackets
The trip begins by the front door
The jeans are chosen, and so is the sweater. What is missing is a jacket you will want to reach for tomorrow, and the day after that. At Continental, ALASKA women’s short jackets in black and beige are , regularly $425.
Try them over your sweater, zip up and slip your hands into the pockets. Black feels familiar; beige gives the outfit a different light. There is no hurry. The scarf you already love helps settle the choice.
Women · A touch of mauve
A detour, a coffee, a little mauve
In town, you take the longer street because a shop window catches your eye. Coffee can be the next stop. There is no rush. Another ALASKA women’s short-jacket style, available in black and mauve, offers a different starting point at , regularly $425.
Mauve brings a small change to familiar clothes. With jeans and a sweater already in your wardrobe, sometimes one new colour is enough to make the outfit feel different.
Men · Bomber jackets
Saturday leaves room for a change of plan
The next morning, someone suggests lunch, then a walk afterwards. The day takes shape as you go. For him, an ALASKA bomber in white or grey mix offers a starting point for an easy outfit at , regularly $480.
Compare it with a favourite sweater, check the fit and choose the colour you like. The rest of the day can keep a few surprises.

Women · Long puffers
The walk goes a little further
After lunch, the walk carries on for a few more streets. Some prefer the shape of a longer coat for days like these. ALASKA women’s long puffers in black and taupe are , regularly $400.
In store, take a moment to compare the length with the shorter styles over your usual layers. There is more than one way to dress for November. The right one fits the way your days unfold.
Travel · Soft-side luggage
The next destination begins with a suitcase
On Sunday, before closing the bag, you fold the sweater you packed at the last minute. A few outfits, the essentials, an extra pair of shoes: the list for the next trip is already taking shape.
At Continental, soft-side luggage in black, navy and burgundy comes in three sizes. The 20″ is (regularly $170), the 24″ is (regularly $235), and the 28″ is (regularly $345). Each price is for one suitcase, not a set.
Choose around what you expect to pack. If the next journey involves a flight, check the suitcase’s complete measurements, including wheels and handles, against your airline’s rules. The destination can wait a little longer. The pleasure of planning has already begun.
On Sunday evening, the keys land on the table, the coat goes on its hook and the last few things come out of the suitcase. The trip is over, but another destination has already found its way into the conversation. Until then, there are walks close to home, coffee around the corner and the small outings that make November worth stepping outside for.
