The 4 Jackets Fashion Girls Are Reaching for Right Now
When it comes to outerwear, we don’t mess around. We need coats and jackets that can keep us warm and stylish, and we need a few of them! Sure, it’s a no-brainer that owning a few classics is non-negotiable (we’ll always love you, parka and pea coat), but being the fashion lovers that we (and you) are, we’re always craving the latest trends.
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.
See below for four jacket styles fashion girls are loving right now, and if you’re into them, shop our picks to get the look.
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.
Leaving the buttons undone at the bottom (as seen here) is a great elongating style trick.
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.
This one is large enough to add in a few layers beneath without looking bulky.
Nothing beats an olive-and-orange color combination.
