BOMBER JACKET

This aviator-inspired coat is characterized by fitted shoulders and banded waist, a great option for cool but not frigid weather. Depending on cut and fabric, it can look casual or polished-hip. This season, a bomber in plaid is especially on trend. Tween and teen shoppers will find this jacket ($60) at Garage, which opened recently at Mall of America (952-854-4331, www.garage.ca). One of Canada's largest teen-clothing retailers, Garage carries a look similar to American Eagle, but more playful. The MOA store is the seventh to open in the United States.
