Let me explain: I'm a commuter, and three days a week, I travel to New York City via train. And while I always dress for the temperature my weather apps say I should prepare for, NJ Transit tends to always blast the A.C.
If I have to wear a coat, I'm incredibly glad it's this faux suede cropped style. It gives me just the right amount of coverage, but isn't a hassle to carry weight-wise. If I really needed to, I imagine I can easily fold or roll this up to store in my work tote. It's also thin enough that when the colder months roll around, this would fit underneath a puffer jacket or oversized trench coat.
