It's been a surprisingly bone-chilling week in LA. And though summery temps should return this week, this recent cold-snap is a reminder that even in SoCal we need to be prepared for inclement weather.

On that note, we've rounded up 10 spots to hit up for all your outerwear needs. Whether you're a weather wimp looking for a knee-length puffer, a fashion-y type looking to invest in the perfect leather jacket or you're in the market for something classic, there are options here for you. Click through for our picks mapped out and, as always, if we've missed your favorite shop let us know about it in the comments.
