Some of the best fall jackets this year include statement fleeces, transitional trenches, and oversized shackets.
A Shoppable Preview of Our Favorite Fall Jackets
Fall is nearly here! While there’s still time to relish in the final hot days and languid spirit of the summer, now is also an opportunity to start looking ahead to the crisp autumn months. To that end, there’s no time like now to begin sartorially prepping and re-upping on fall jackets, so when the chilly temperatures inevitably arise, you’re well equipped.
This season, there are many fall jackets from which to choose. Consider a blazer cool enough for summer’s end and warm enough come fall. Or, opt for a tried-and-true trench coat that can be thrown over any outfit for some elevated polish. Alternatively, a statement fleece or oversized shacket will bring an air of slickness to any look.
Here, a preview of some of our favorite fall jackets to get us through the upcoming season.
Smart Shackets
The workwear-inspired, oversized shacket (shirt-meets-jacket hybrid) has been gaining popularity in recent years. This fall, luxury brands like Dries Van Noten, Isabel Marant, and Marc Jacobs have each made their own iterations in plaids and prints perfect for fall.

Fanciful Fleeces
This year, a statement fleece is the unexpected (yet welcomed!) fall jacket to add to your wardrobe. Designers like Loewe and Stella McCartney have elevated the otherwise utilitarian outerwear option with lively prints.

Better-Than-Basic Blazers
Having a blazer on hand to throw over an outfit is the easiest fall jacket solution. While a classic black blazer is a closet staple, this season, look to more interesting iterations, like Nanushka’s brown leather blazer, Acne Studios’ cropped silhouette, or Christopher Esber and Bottega Veneta’s cut-out and hardware embellished versions.
