Whether or not you’re mentally in October, it’s already time to start your search for the best fall jackets. They’re hitting stores as we speak, meaning that the cutest styles are up for grabs—and likely to sell out before autumn settles in.
As a style editor, I’ve had my eye on fall trends since the very beginning of the year; based on runways and street style, I’m expecting fall 2024 to be defined by fresh takes on heritage silhouettes. Labels such as Chloé, Stella McCartney, and Isabel Marant went big on boho and Americana in their fall-winter shows, so denim jackets, chore coats, and fringe are sound buys. Meanwhile, preppy staples like blazers and trench coats showed up at Prada, Schiaparelli, Bottega Veneta, and Lemaire—get ready to dress like you’re off to your country house.

Another updated classic is the leather jacket, which has been moving away from the classic biker silhouette toward something slimmer and sportier. Hermès, Loewe, and Dior showed leather moto jackets for fall; I found an under-$125 lookalike at Abercrombie. And trends aside, the classic autumnal palette is as popular as ever. Outerwear in deep browns, rich blacks, and warm neutrals walked almost every runway, from Burberry to Saint Laurant to Ferragamo, so there’s no pressure to reinvent the wheel.
From casual (yet work-appropriate) shackets for layering over autumnal dresses to quilted jackets that’ll double as winter coats, these stylish fall jackets will make you the belle of the…pumpkin patch.
