Nothing marks the start of fall quite like the reemergence of a jacket to my daily outfit rotation. After two months of wearing nothing but flimsy fabrics, there is an intoxicating excitement to throwing on proper sleeves and a collar over an outfit.
This season, I'm on the hunt for some fresh new styles to add to my arsenal. Over the last few weeks, I've been spotting six specific jacket trends on practically every cool fashion girl I follow. From sumptuous suede jackets in gorgeous tan and brown hues to British countryside–inspired barn jackets, there are a whole host of cool, versatile, and chic styles for your fall-wearing-pleasure. If you're looking to get your hands on an of-the-moment topper but don't want to spend your entire paycheck, then check out my edit of jacket trends below that all come in at $200 or under. Now that's something to get excited about.
Barn Jackets
The rugged British countryside staple has become a favorite among the fashion set this season. From Barbour-inspired waxed-effect styles to practical canvas field jackets, the cool crowd is styling the heritage jacket with jeans and miniskirts alike.
Suede Jackets
The fashion set is all about sumptuous suede jackets right now in tan and brown hues. The luxurious-looking topper will add an expensive and elevated touch to every outfit.
Funnel Necks
Funnel-neck silhouettes were a key outerwear detail we saw all over the fall runways, and we're already seeing the fashion set embrace the chic trend. Prepare to see high-neck jackets and coats dominate our feeds as we head into the colder season.
Hourglass Silhouettes
Fitted and feminine hourglass silhouettes continue to reign supreme this fall, particularly blazers that exude a minimalist '90s vibe. Style one with jeans or a slip skirt for a polished fall look.
Trench Coats
No surprise here, but trench coats are back in the spotlight for fall—the season where the chic topper shines. In case you need reminding, no matter what you're wearing, a chic trench coat will add instant polish to your look.
Liquid Leather Jackets
Lean into leather fabrics that feel and look soft and supple this season. Liquid leather jackets dominated the runways and are the perfect addition to your fall/winter wardrobe.
