Make love, not war

One of the most enduring coat styles is military. Though it typically comes in khaki green or navy, we like it best in vivid red with gilded buttons for a nod to our Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

FASHION NOTE

If your wardrobe turns super casual (say, jeans and sweaters) come winter, think about embracing a statement coat, your ultimate style secret for the entire season.

FASHION NOTE

Looking to reinvent last year’s winter coat? Transform its shape simply by adding a belt.

(Opposite page) Stylishly belting your coat can help define your shape and says you consider your outside outfit as important as your inside one, which is a proclamation in itself. Plus, it might provide some extra warmth by buckling you in!

Take style notes from the après-ski crowd and go chalet chic by layering your outerwear. This bundled-up look gives new life to transitional pieces, and when they’re properly stacked, the silhouette is more sleek than supersize.

FASHION NOTE

Striking metallic accents lend elegance to a slouchy grey tuque.

Twice as nice

It’s about time we shake off the old image of oversize doublebreasted coats with huge shoulder pads. This new refined look makes a dramatic statement, especially when the coat is long enough to graze the ankles, eliminating the need to add a loud plaid or a banker pinstripe. Keep the style bold with strong feminine flourishes, such as a metallicdipped tuque and berry leather gloves.

FASHION NOTE

Cap off this menswear coat with a wide-brimmed chapeau. This structured topper channels a chic masculine flair.

(Opposite page) Take a cue from the great Coco Chanel by embracing menswear. Nothing is quite as sophisticated as an oversize glen-check topper in a structured A-line silhouette with a hidden front closure. Make this boy-meetsgirl coat seem a little more balanced by pairing with soft, fluid fabrics, such as silk, satin and cashmere.

This inky-hued neutral is the newest go-to colour for fall, especially for outerwear. The rich shade makes any topper—from trench to parka—look luxe, regardless of price point. Bonus: Navy is a colour that plays nicely with just about every other finish, pattern and shade—even black.

Bundled up in one of the biggest (and coziest) trends of the moment: the robe coat. These toppers have no buttons—just a tie belt—so they make you feel like you’re wearing a snuggly but elegant bathrobe. Built for versatility and function, this classic wool-blend wrap is the definition of an investment piece.

COMFORT THAT LASTS ALL DAY

AND ALL NIGHT

FALL’S HERE—THE FESTIVE SEASON BEGINS! >P[OWHY[PLZHUKZWLJPHSVJJHZPVUZÄSSPUN\W`V\Y JHSLUKHYNL[`V\YOVSPKH`NHTLWSHUPUVYKLYZV`V\ JHUMLLSJVTMVY[HISLPUL]LY`ZP[\H[PVU

1TAKE A BREAK WHEN YOU NEED TO

There is so much to do this time of year! It may be tempting [VÄUPZOQ\Z[VUL TVYL[OPUNILMVYL`V\ OP[[OLIH[OYVVT but holding a full bladder can make occasional leaks worse. If you feel the urge, take a quick bathroom break to keep you dry and happy later.

2DON’T PUSH IT

Road trips and car rides can make you try really hard to go before you leave. But straining can weaken your muscles, leading to irritation and leaks. Your best bet: go when you need to, but don’t force the issue. Your muscles will thank you, and you’ll keep surprises at bay.

3MOCKTAILS, NOT COCKTAILS

Relaxing with friends and family is the best part of this season. Lifting a glass to celebrate a special occasion is fun, but alcohol can cause dehydration and irritate your bladder. So skip the liquor, wine and beer and opt instead for a hydrating drink, such as sparkling water or Q\PJL(KKHMLZ[P]LNHYUPZOHUKNL[PU[V[OLZWPYP[

4KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALONE

One in four women over 35 has experienced incontinence, so don’t be shy about getting what you need to feel protected. Grab a package of TENA Ultimate-Extra Underwear for all-day, any-day comfort. They’re sleek and discreet under your clothes, and give you [OLJVUÄKLUJL[VMVYNL[HIV\[ the occasional leak.

5NIBBLE ON ALKALINE FOODS

Holiday plates are packed with so many treats. But tomatoes, spicy foods, citrus and chocolate are common culprits when it comes to an overactive bladder. Steer clear of these acidic foods and load up on fresh veggies, nuts, berries and other alkaline foods to keep your bladder—and stomach— happy.
