7 Kohl’s Items Retirees Need To Buy Ahead of Fall

The changing seasons means retirees are reconsidering what goes on their Kohl’s shopping list. Purchases like sneakers and jackets may cost a little money to buy now, but they’ll pay off in the short and long term, as they get plenty of use in retirement.

Retirees shopping for a new pair of men’s trainers won’t want to miss the sale on Skechers stamina cutback shoes. Regularly $80 per pair, Kohl’s has marked down the price to $64 on sale for $16 in savings.

Shop men’s sizes S through XXL in fall-friendly shades like spice, dark mountain, new Columbia gray and more. 

Kohl’s shopper John wrote in a five-star review that this jacket hit all of their needs. “Fit well and did a great job on a windy, rainy day. It works well in a layering scenario and functions well as a morning windbreaker.”

Don’t let the price tag scare you off from purchasing the women’s Eddie Bauer Charly parka jacket at Kohl’s. With an attached hood, long sleeves, waterproof technology and zip side pockets, this jacket is built to last for female retirees throughout all the fall months. 

The jacket’s length, which is 35 inches from shoulder to hem, also received high praise from Kohl’s shoppers. 

“I have been searching for the perfect rain jacket/coat for quite awhile. This one has it all!” dlms wrote. “Two piece sleeve for fit and comfort, zipper that opens from the bottom for comfort when sitting or driving. Longer length but not too long. Packable, not too heavy, well-fitting hood, snaps and zipper. Slant pockets that zip closed, and available in petite sizes! I upsized to be able to fit a packable down jacket underneath. A winner for me!”
