"I have to admit something: I have a slight obsession with coats and jackets, especially during the fall. My collection grows every year, which really causes a problem, considering my apartment does not have a coat closet. But when I see a cute new style, I simply need to have it. A lot of the best fall jackets and coats are truly timeless, so I see no harm in adding to the collection.
Each fall jacket style is so different and gives off a unique vibe. For example, the classic trench? It makes all your “I’m-weekending-in-Paris” dreams come true—suddenly, you want to eat a croissant and wear a beret. The on-trend barn jacket? Pair it with some fun sneakers, and you’ll instantly feel like you’re on a Pinterest board.
However, given that many of us have to wear coats for more than half the year, it’s all too easy to get tired of wearing the same ones. That’s why we’ve rounded up the absolute best fall jackets, coats, and vests of 2024 to spice up your collection this season. Check them out below.
How we chose the best jackets for fall
When curating our list of fall jackets, we made sure to consider every current on-trend style. And, of course, which classics we’d bring back. As we transition from summer to fall, we’ve been keeping an eye on some of our favorite retailers who have slowly but surely been releasing fall wardrobe essentials. Plus, with some editor input into the mix, we found women’s fall jackets that are versatile for different occasions. Whether you want a statement piece or just need to update your everyday jacket, you’ve come to the right place.
Barn Jackets
Utility, chore, and barn jackets have been around forever (no matter what you call them). But this year, more retailers than ever are releasing stunning options with the “barn jacket” classification. These jackets tend to be oversized, mixed-material, and neutral-colored. Think of them as the 2024 version of those green army jackets we all loved in the 2010s but in a more timeless style.
Classic Trench Coats
These classic fall jackets look chic with absolutely anything. You can even throw one on over leggings and a hoodie to instantly elevate your athleisure look. Whether you opt for the usual tan or go for something more unique, these coats are the foundation of your outerwear collection.

Leather & Suede Jackets
Leather and suede jackets are a true wardrobe staple that you can never go wrong with. The ideal addition to a moody color palette, these jackets are a must-have during crisp days and chillier nights. With the latest trend being anything oversized, they make for a comfortable option as well. Style one of our picks by layering with a cardigan, a bodysuit, or a fun graphic tee. And voilà, you have the formula for a perfect fall look.

Quilted Jackets

Denim Jackets
Over the years, denim jackets have proven that they are here to stay as a fall staple. After all, they not only look cute, but they’re an awesome transitional piece for when it’s not too cold yet. We all know and love the classic options. But if you’re looking to expand your collection or update your look, pick one up with a more unique and fashion-forward silhouette.
Vests
If you don’t currently own a vest, trust me when I tell you that it will be your new best friend. Vests are both easy to wear and versatile, and they add a little extra something to any outfit. They’re also great for layering, especially on those fall days when it’s freezing in the morning and hot by the afternoon.
