"A fall coat has the shortest wearing season (even if you wear it in spring too, a couple of months at best), so I have two rules of thumb when shopping for one: a.) Don&amp;#x27;t spend too much and b.) Don&amp;#x27;t buy something you&amp;#x27;ll be totally over come March. Check out 9 adorable, affordable picks, after the jump. Remember when we reported that the military coat has a whole new new shape and feel?
