Soft-shell outerwear has lots of advantages: it’s lightweight, water-resistant, breathable, and warm. But all of it is styled for hikers, or people who want to look outdoorsy.

I don’t. I want to look slick, urban, professional. (Those of you who know me can stop laughing now.) I want soft-shell outerwear that looks right with what I wear. A blazer, maybe. Or a trenchcoat.
