Minimalism is nothing new, but it’s entering a new era: The look is now defined by sculptural, personality-driven pieces that aren’t afraid to turn heads. Perhaps the easiest way to buy in is with a funnel-neck jacket, a silhouette that’s at once sporty and sophisticated. Stand collars were all over Copenhagen Fashion Week, a fresh take on something so simple. Pair your pick with easygoing trousers and slouchy boots to channel the Euro-cool vibe.

Everyone from Saint Laurent to Eckhaus Latta showed oversized leather bomber jackets for fall, and we’re officially in the market for the perfect pick. The best ones channel ’80s style into something distinctly contemporary, updating the silhouette with padding, exaggerated arms, or those aforementioned funnel necks. They can both look and feel heavy, so offset the weight with a crisp T-shirt and full skirt on early fall days. When chillier weather rolls around, switch to black leggings or leather pants for a bit of editorial edge.
