Anoraks For Weather That Can't Make Up Its Mind (PHOTOS)

Just last week I was pulling out my puffer coat to brave the harsh winds. Now it's suddenly all spring -- is this just a tease? Or is winter really over?

Finally, twenty years later, thanks to the spring collections from designers like Rag & Bone and Alexander Wang, I've been schooled. A light waterproof topper frequently made out of parachute material it is the solution to these fairweather days -- light enough to stuff in your tote when in the sun, but substantial enough to ward off a chill -- it's just what my mom ordered.
