Hey Glossies, If I really like a classic/conservative item, I tend to opt for a unique characteristic (color/pattern) other than the basic black or grey. Boden Milan Jacket - Bright Green The Boden Milan jacket in bright green was a must have for me.  The wool jacket has a classic silhouette, with three-buttons, slot for a fun pocket square.  The color is very fun and cheery for this time of the year.  The color screams Spring, but the material is very winter.
