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 studio apartment does not have a coat closet. But when I see a cute new style, I simply need to have it. A lot of jacket and coat silhouettes are truly timeless, so I see no harm in adding to the collection.

Each classic 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 trendy shacket? Pair it with some chunky boots and you’re instantly chic and cozy.

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 to mix up your collection this season. Check them out below, along with some outfit inspiration for wearing them.

 

Classic Silhouette Jackets

From trench coats to blazers to overcoats, 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 a neutral tone or a pop of color, these coats are the foundation to your outerwear collection.

Try it with: A sweater dress and tall boots.
