From trench coats to barn jackets, quilted styles to soft suedes, a good fall jacket will become one of the most reliable pieces in your fall wardrobe.
It's why jackets are at the forefront of our minds as soon as we start daydreaming about fall. And over the past week, they're starting to trend up -- meaning it's time to do a little pre-fall shopping.

Just like last year, all things suede -- jackets, bags, shoes -- are here for the new season. And though suede may be "trending," it's a fabric that resurfaces year after year. Like crochet in the summer, suede is quintessentially fall -- it's cozy, soft and inviting. Style it with fabrics like cashmere and cotton, day or night, and for various occasions.
Good news: It's time to bring back your barn jacket. Like 2024, retailers will continue to dish out stylish, practical barn jackets this fall. Lean into the countryside aesthetic by styling your barn jacket over a crewneck sweater, paired with light-wash, worn-in denim and a pair of weather-protected boots.
Though we often shop for trench coats in spring, a trench coat is a key transitional piece between summer and fall. When summer nights are chilly or autumn evenings are still warm, a trench coat is the perfect layer. Consider a trench in a color like camel, olive green or chocolate brown.
When it's time for a little extra warmth, try a quilted jacket, like one from Barbour or L.L.Bean. The Barbour Annandale Quilted Jacket, for example, has flattering seams for a closer, feminine fit. There's a diamond-quilted lightweight L.L. Bean jacket that is water and wind-resistant, so it could be the only layer you need for a while.
