Barn jackets
Good news: It's time to bring back your barn jacket. Like 2024, retailers will continue to dish out stylish, practical barn jackets this fall. Lean into the countryside aesthetic by styling your barn jacket over a crewneck sweater, paired with light-wash, worn-in denim and a pair of weather-protected boots.
Suede jackets
Just like last year, all things suede -- jackets, bags, shoes -- are here for the new season. And though suede may be "trending," it's a fabric that resurfaces year after year. Like crochet in the summer, suede is quintessentially fall -- it's cozy, soft and inviting. Style it with fabrics like cashmere and cotton, day or night, and for various occasions.
Trench coats
Though we often shop for trench coats in spring, a trench coat is a key transitional piece between summer and fall. When summer nights are chilly or autumn evenings are still warm, a trench coat is the perfect layer. Consider a trench in a color like camel, olive green or chocolate brown.
Leather jackets
For that cool girl, model-off-duty look, we often turn to a leather jacket. If you normally go for a black leather jacket, try one in an autumnal red shade or deep brown instead. We're shopping for leather bomber jackets, as well as oversized options and more fitted or cropped jackets, to help you achieve any look you're going for. Try faux or vegan leather too, at a lower price.
Quilted jackets
When it's time for a little extra warmth, try a quilted jacket, like one from Barbour or L.L.Bean. The Barbour Annandale Quilted Jacket, for example, has flattering seams for a closer, feminine fit. There's a diamond-quilted lightweight L.L. Bean jacket that is water and wind-resistant, so it could be the only layer you need for a while.
