Thankfully, the current season’s offerings are abounding with cool, creative jackets that have our closets rejoicing. To get more specific, the four styles below have been spotted on some of our favorite insiders in inspiring ways that, as a result, have made us ready to add them to our collection.

Nothing screams "I'm in the know" more than a velvet blazer. It's subtly sexy and plays nicely with other textures, like denim and silk. Also, it works in the office and at the party, which is a win in our book.

The bomber jacket is the gift that keeps on giving. This outerwear item has been a favorite with the fashion crowd for a couple of seasons now, and for fall it seems the way to wear it is with several layers. Load 'em up!

It can be tricky to pull off a military jacket without looking like you're in a costume, so keep in mind that styling it with staples like blue jeans and pumps can be the perfect way to balance everything out.

Pass the puffer, please! We can't get enough of these shapely statement jackets. For an update on yours, follow Emmanuelle Alt's lead and cinch a belt around the waist.
