First Lady Melania Trump is wearing the richest shades of the autumn season, perhaps you could say she’s autumn-maxxing, for her recent solo trips.

Most recently, for a trip to visit the Armed Forces and their families at Fort Rucker in Alabama, Mrs. Trump chose an olive green multi-pocket field jacket from Ralph Lauren, which retails for about $4,500.

Mrs. Trump paired the jacket with brown cashmere and skinny pants, as well as brown suede knee-high boots likely from Stuart Weitzman.
