The Best Fall Jackets 2023 to Shop Right Now—From Bombers to Polished Peacoats

Acne Studios

Ralph Lauren

Every season, there is one standout tailoring trend that trumps all others. And this fall, all of our eyes are on cinched-waist blazers. We can thank Tory Burch and Proenza Schouler for turning us onto the trend, but others from & Other Stories, Favorite Daughter, and Dries Van Noten are just as good.

A bomber jacket is a certified cool-girl staple when it comes to layering up for fall. Whether you choose classic khaki bombers from Anine Bing and Acne Studios or exaggerated aviator styles from Khaite and Ganni, expect to stay cool, yet casual all season long.

When it comes to effortless versatility, you can’t compete with a wear-with-everything leather jacket. This season, however, we’re gravitating towards elevated, clean-lined styles rather than the classic moto jacket. Zip-up leather jackets from Cos and Agolde to Vince and Pixie Market are especially chic.

And because it’s fashion we’re obsessed with after all, expect several It items of the season within the mix, from Toteme’s cult-favorite scarf jacket, Miu Miu’s polished peacoat, and a distressed leather jacket from none other than The Row.

No fall jacket is as supermodel-approved as the distressed leather jacket. Take this spring 2024 season, for example. Gigi Hadid stepped out during Paris Fashion Week in Mango’s oversized version, below for a look that defined chic city style. Other It items include those from By Malene Birger and Zara to The Row and Remain Birger Christensen.

For those crisp fall days when temperatures teeter in degrees, you’re going to need a lightweight, quilted shell jacket. Most of them also feature playful, oversized silhouettes, which make for easy layering. Liners from The Frankie Shop, Ganni, and Everlane are topping our fall shopping lists.

The takeaway of 2023: It’s all about fresh iterations of tried-and-true classics. Festive textures and playful proportions are part of the arsenals of the industry’s biggest designers, looking to make the usual practical neutrals of fall feel a bit more invigorating. Preppy back-to-work blazers come with flattering cinched-waist silhouettes and unexpected tailoring details that might just make dressing for the office fun again (you can thank Proenza Schouler and Tory Burch for that). Even the practical puffer is getting a sartorial upgrade by way of the quilted shell jacket—a lighter, more playful iteration of the cold-weather classic. Then for the best fall jackets that deliver in both comfort and style, find toggle-adorned jackets from Zara, Ralph Lauren, and Mango or shearling stunners from A.L.C, Madewell, H&M, and so much more.

By now, everyone is familiar with a timeless trench coat or two. For fall, however, a cropped trench coat delivers maximal style with minimal effort. The below from Burberry, Acne Studios, J.Crew, and Isabel Marant may be basic, but are never boring!

The menswear-inspired toggle-adorned jacket has not only taken the runways by storm but the street style scene, too. Hooded versions from Zara, Toteme, and Ralph Lauren have vintage-esque charisma, while options from Musier Paris and & Other Stories are designed with a more modern approach in mind.

Madewell

With the wintry weather very much on our horizon, you’re going to need a jacket that provides some serious warmth. Enter the snuggly shearling jacket. The best cozy styles come from Madewell and Stand Studio to Shoreditch Ski Club and more. Editor’s note: a slope never even has to be in sight.
