For fashion lovers, there’s no better season to dress for than the fall. It calls for cozy sweaters, sleek boots, and sheer tights galore, plus it’s time to embrace glamorous fall accessories like chunky earrings or rich red designer handbags. The crisp air also prompts the chance to spotlight stylish fall jackets in your everyday style before temps drop to bone-chilling degrees (puffer jacket season will be here in no time, after all). Luckily, there are so many types of jackets for women that are trending right now — and they’ll still prove timeless staples in your wardrobe for seasons to come.

The best fall coats for women come in classic silhouettes with modern twists. Take the fall trench coat, for example, that grazed the fall 2024 runways of Balenciaga and The Row in long, billowing, and reconstructed designs. The sporty bomber jacket recieved a luxe touch from Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton in shiny satin and buttery leather, while Saint Laurent, Prada, and Dior spotlit blazers with bolder-is-better ’80s shoulder pads, chic pinstripes, and long hems that could even double as fall season dresses.

You can never have enough stylish fall jackets in your arsenal, at least according to WWD Shop editors. Beyond their key purpose as shells against brisk breezes and rainy weather, lightweight jackets for fall serve as the easiest way to elevate boring basics or those well-loved jeans you can’t seem to quit.

Below, shop trending jackets well worth the investment, plus editor-curated outfit ideas to wear this season.

This season, quilted jackets like this one from Canada Goose are reimagining the military-inspired coat as a modern staple. Available in versatile black and this muted green tone that’s trending for fall, the Elgin Reversible Liner Coat is exactly as the name suggests — it can be worn inside-out to reveal a second smooth nylon finish. What’s better that a two-in-one? Not only does it exemplify its purpose in mild fall weather with a water-repellent coating and mid-thigh hem, but it can also be layered with long overcoats or puffer jackets when temperatures plummet.

Women’s Fall Trench Coats

J.Crew New Icon Trench Coat

$348

Buy Now at j.crew

J.Crew’s New Icon trench is aptly named. This classic silhouette falls just above the knee as the perfect midi-style coat for work or play. The top fall jacket also features a self-tie belt to cinch the waist and water-repellent fabrication for rainy days. But the real kicker is the removable hood — dreary weather never looked so chic.

What testers say: “Finally! A fabulous hooded trench! I’ve had a hard time getting my head around spending big money on a trench without a hood from the luxury brands. This trench is the perfect weight, not too heavy, and not too light. It’s lined, too. I love the structure and color. Grab this trench now!

Abercrombie Full-Length Trench Coat

$160

Abercrombie’s fall trench coat drapes all the way down to the mid-calf — a great length to skim your new fall boots. Although the silhouette is long and billowing, it won’t overwhelm your body in bulk, thanks to a thin nylon fabrication that’ll hug your curves. It’s also lightly lined for added warmth and safe for wearing in the rain.

What testers say: “I bought this for a light fall coat in New York City and it was perfect for a windy day and a light drizzle. It’s the perfect fall staple. And so worth the price.”

Aritzia Synergy Relaxed UnReal Leather Bomber Jacket

$228

Buy Now at aritzia

The beauty of a bomber jacket is that it’s a universally flattering shape. Its oversized fit and elastic paneling also makes it exceptionally comfortable for work or play. Although bombers are often styled in sporty ensembles, we could picture Posh Spice getting behind this fully-lined leather iteration. And, believe it or not, this buttery leather is faux. Aritzia’s UnReal leather fabrication beautifully mimics the real thing with a supple shaping and a soft gloss finish.

The unisex Alpha Industries Ma-1 Bomber Flight Jacket is a quintessential bomber style complete with utilitarian elements like flap pockets, a looser menswear fit, and a reversible inner lining. Play it up with aviator sunglasses and Dr. Martens fall boots, or lean into the sporty vibe with track pants and matching silver sneakers.

What testers say: “I’ve been wearing these Alpha jackets for over 40 years. I was wearing one when I met my wife 37 years ago. Since then, I have owned two and I just bought a third. After several decades, I replaced my original jacket with a new one. This jacket is perfect if you want a lightweight, durable, and warm jacket. An added bonus is the classic military look of it. Young people go crazy for this jacket as I get compliments all the time. You’ll love it.”

Banana Republic Relaxed Slim Pinstripe Flannel Blazer

$280

Buy Now at banana republic

A pinstripe blazer will never go out of style: There are few pieces on the planet that are quite as sophisticated and versatile. It can immediately transform a simple white tee and lackluster slacks, or double as a chic mini dress alongside slingback pumps in fall date night outfits (conservative in concept, but with lots of leg). We’re lusting over this Banana Republic style that features a flattering slim fit along the sleeves and shoulders and a comfortable relaxed fit everywhere else.
