The best fall jackets aren’t just a seasonal necessity—they’re also a great chance to punch up any outfit. As a style editor, I’ve had my eye on autumn trends since the very beginning of the year; based on runways and street style, I’m expecting fall 2025 to be defined by fresh takes on heritage silhouettes. Labels like Chloé, and Isabel Marant went big on boho and Americana in their fall-winter shows, so denim, suede coats, and barn jackets are sound buys. Meanwhile, timeless staples like blazers and leather jackets showed up at Prada, Bally, and Lemaire—so get ready to dress like you’re the coolest woman at the office.
If you’re thinking about where to start, go for wearability. The classic autumnal palette is always an easy choice. The same goes for styles that toe the line between sporty and editorial—they can do double duty in your wardrobe, as we saw on the runway at Tory Burch.
From casual (yet work-appropriate) shackets for layering over fall dresses to edgier leather outerwear that you can throw on with jeans, these stylish jackets will make you the belle of the…pumpkin patch.
