Wrap up, zip up, or button up. It doesn’t matter how you go about it, the time to pull out your the fall jackets is quickly approaching. As summer is coming to a close, you can no longer ignore that slight chill in the air and the fact that the days are slowly getting shorter.
Jacket weather is imminent. Now is the perfect time to start crafting your fall capsule wardrobe —and review the jacket trends that walked the runways back in February. 2024 is all about updated iterations of tried-and-true classics.
On the runways this season we saw a resurgence of rugged menswear-inspired styles, like denim chore coats and versatile barn jackets . Even blazers look tougher than usual this season: we’re seeing them all over in thick suede. Vogue ’s Favorite Fall Jackets: A few favorites from last fall continue to be popular as well, like twists on trench coats and lightweight, quilted shells.
Toteme’s now cult-classic scarf coat will once again be everywhere when the temperatures drop, and ladylike jackets à la Miss Chanel herself look fresh this season with denim. Ahead, shop the top jacket trends for fall—straight from the runways and ready to join your closet. Barn Jackets After walking the runway at Prada’s show back in February, barn jackets have undoubtedly become this season’s It item.
The surprisingly versatile piece looks great for a rugged day outdoors or mixed with ladylike separates. Denim Chore Jackets A cousin of the barn jacket, the chore coat looks especially cool in denim this season. It’s the perfect pick for tricky transitional weather.
Cleaned-Lined Leather Jackets Leather jackets take on a minimalist slant this season. Free of distressing and overwrought details, these sleek shapes look especially polished. Suede Blazers The new blazer of the season comes in a tough suede, à la Miu Miu’s spring runway.
These styles turn the office staple on its head, making it appropriate for outdoors as well as in office. Remixed Trenches You can never go wrong with a classic trench, but this season we’re seeing them in all different shapes and sizes. These twisted trenches feature cropped silhouettes, scarf details, and leather extras.
Scarf Jackets We’re predicting that the scarf jacket will continue to be popular come colder temps. Toteme’s has become a cult-classic but there are plenty of new shapes and sizes to try too. Drill Jackets We’re calling this style the drill jacket, because of its subtly military-inspired detailing.
These easy-to-wear shapes will add a bit of polish to your off-duty ensemble. Collarless Jackets Collarless styles look chicer than ever, whether as a blazer, a cape, a leather jacket, or even an oversized sweater-coat. Quilted Shell Jackets A lightweight, quilted shell jacket will continue to be a closet-hero this fall.
These jackets are perfect for wearing alone on a mild day, or layering under a bigger coat in the colder months. Shearling Jackets Shearling jackets are a classic investment piece for winter, combining style and lots of warmth. This season there are so many great ones to shop from—we love Loewe’s cropped version and Bode’s shiny topper in black.
Lady Jackets Channel your inner lady who lunches in these cropped tweed shapes worthy of Miss Coco herself. They’ll look particularly cool with contrasting pieces, like sneakers or distressed denim..
