Canvas barn jacket
Barn jackets are all the rage, and I can personally vouch that this one is high-quality without a hefty price tag. It has a cute corduroy collar, zipper and snap-button closures, and roomy front pockets. It’s 98% cotton with 2% spandex for the perfect amount of give when layering. After multiple sell-outs, it’s currently restocked in most sizes at Old Navy for $59.99!
Scarf coat
Scarf coats and cardigans are popping up in store windows, runways, and social feeds worldwide. Made from a Merino wool-blend felt, this is the effortlessly stylish and cozy fall jacket your wardrobe has been waiting for. We love the delicate embroidery and oversized fit. At $189.9o, Quince offers an affordable spin on this trend, in five fabulous colors.
Faux suede boyfriend jacket
Made from faux suede (the material of the moment), this boyfriend blazer features a slightly oversized fit, a notched lapel collar, and just-right pockets. Picture this atop a flowy maxi dress, a smart work trouser, or jeans and a graphic t-shirt. The possibilities are endless. This jacket is $168 at Anthropologie.
Classic quilted jacket
Tuckernuck has nailed the timeless silhouette of an everyday quilted jacket. Details like the all-over diamond pattern, oversized patch pockets, button-down front, piped hem, and side slits make it easy to style with nearly anything. It’s available for $278 at Tuckernuck.
Perfect denim jacket
A go-to jean jacket is a wardrobe staple — especially in the fall. This is the first denim jacket Able has designed, and they promise it’s “the last one you’ll ever have to buy.” Their best-selling Merly style is made from a cotton blend that’s buttery-soft, long-lasting, and comfortable. It feels lived-in from the very first wear. Plus, we love that Able’s denim partners in Mexico provide well-paying jobs to more than 550 women. Shop this at Able for $165.
Classic trench coat
If there is one style on this roundup of fall jackets that’s worth a splurge, it’s a classic trench coat. This Barbour option is widely five-starred and will last for years to come. It’s belted, water-resistant, and has the most beautiful tortoiseshell buttons and plaid lining. You’ll feel like you’re in the English countryside all season-long. Shop this for $375 at Nordstrom.
Knit “coatigan”
The subtle geometric texture, soft material, and trendy round side-split hem of this knit “coatigan” make it cozy enough for in-home wear and cute enough to take to the office or out on the town. Find it for $118.50 (typically $158) at Anthropologie. It comes in a rich dark orange shade, too.
Washed leather biker jacket
Quince is always a go-to for fall and winter staples, and this best-selling jacket (which comes in three colors) elicits an immediate “add to cart.” The washed detailing gives this classic motorcycle jacket a broken-in, vintage look, and it’s crafted in buttery-soft leather. With its stylish silver hardware, pockets, and snap-button lapels, this feels like a timeless piece without the significant financial investment. Shop this in black, brown, and cognac (pictured) for $180 at Quince.
Lightweight puffer jacket
This cult-loved Athleta jacket has become an athleisure staple throughout the last few seasons, and the original is better than the imitations. Wear this to the slopes, the gym, or even over jeans for a casual Saturday out. The lightweight, recycled insulation keeps you warm without the bulk of most puffers. It’s on sale for $139 at Athleta and also comes in bone white and dark teal.
Funky quilted jacket
This one is going viral online, and we can see why! The quilted details, the shiny material, the bomber shape, and the structured sleeves make this an amazingly eye-catching fall statement jacket. You’ll be the best-dressed trick-or-treater out there. It comes in EIGHT great colors, and this rusty orange-brown is stocked in all sizes for $198 at Free People.
Faux leather shacket
StyleBlueprint’s Managing Editor wears this off-white pleather shacket regularly, and it always garners lots of questions and compliments. The snap closures, drop shoulder, and comfy loose fit make it perfect for layering throughout every season, not just fall! Plus, it’s easy to wipe clean if anything gets on it. Shop this for $40.18 on Amazon. (They have it in black, too!)
Quilted vest
While not technically a jacket, a comfy vest is a great piece of outerwear to have on-hand for transitional weather — especially for day-to-night occasions like afternoon football games and festivals. You can find this adorable quilted vest, complete with the embroidered belt, for $48 at Kohls. (This would also make a great gift!)
