What’s the best thing about fall? Jackets. No question.
After a summer of showing some skin, it’s time to cover up in style. Here’s a breakdown of what makes each style unique and some links to get you started.
Bomber Jacket
The bomber jacket is having something of a moment this year, but it’s been a fashion stand-by for the last 100 years. Light, self-confident, and utility-chic. It’s a great way to add edge to a casual outfit or bring a more done-up look back down to earth.

Leather Jacket
Nothing cooler than a leather jacket. With a history of war and fashion like that of the bomber jacket, the leather jacket lends itself to a grittier and more detached vibe. Originally a style statement of men, the leather jacket has become universally unisex.

Denim Jacket
With a denim jacket, you get a rugged, salt-of-the-earth look that seems to not try as hard as its bomber and leather cousins. It might not fit in at a cocktail party (after 1989), but it’ll be your go-to every other day of the week.

Overcoat
Traditionally worn to protect a nice suit or dress, the overcoat has been embraced in less formal settings but still commands respect. You can’t help but to stand out when you step out in one of these.

Puffer/Quilted
Puffer and quilted jackets are your best bet when the cold wind blows. Thanks to recent fashion technology advancements, they’re no longer bloated and unflattering. Now you can look good while being ready for anything Mother Nature throws at you.

(Faux) Fur Coat
Glamorous and luxurious, the fur coat has a long history of high class. A status symbol and naturally warm get-up. Faux fur coats are bringing this look back while remaining animal friendly.

Trench Coat
Another jacket with a military history, there’s no doubt fashionistas have made trench coats their own. Sleek, trendy, and light. Who doesn’t love a jacket with a form-cinching belt?

Hoodie
Your go-to at home can be just as stylish in the streets. Hoodies have a sporty casual vibe that can add a bit of streetwear flair to your outings. The least traditionally fashionable on this list, but hoodies may just be everyone’s secret favorite.
