5 Coveted Jacket Trends We’re Shopping for Fall 2025

Autumn is just around the corner, and it’s officially time to refresh your transitional wardrobe with the biggest fall jacket trends of the year. In keeping with the season’s most influential fashion trends, the outerwear of the moment falls into a few main categories: basics with a twist (say, cropped trenches), boho-infused workwear (à la barn jackets), and sporty minimalism (like funnel-neck nylon layers). The vibe, we’ll say, is fun yet functional. Get a jump on your dream fall wardrobe with our fall jacket trends edit below.

1. Cropped trench coats

All of a sudden—like, seemingly in the past five minutes—cropped trenches have started popping up everywhere, from designer labels like Prada and Burberry to high-street brands like Zara and Abercrombie. Fashion month’s most stylish guests have taken note; we spotted countless iterations among the crowds at Copenhagen Fashion Week, and we’re anticipating plenty more as the season goes on. Some are straightforward trenches with the bottoms chopped off; some up the visual intrigue with sweeping cape silhouettes. But all are of-the-moment pieces ready to protect you from the elements while giving your fall dresses and tall boots plenty of space to shine.

2. Chic suede

Suede is enjoying a banner year. The soft, textured leather was much more popular than usual this summer, thanks in part to the simmering boho influences: popping up on Western sandals and shoulder bags alike. And now that we’re entering autumn, its home turf, expect to see it everywhere. While it lends a relaxed elegance to slouchy totes and baggy pants, we might love it most on jackets. No matter which silhouette you choose, from collarless cardigans to trucker jackets, it drapes softly and feels great when you put it on. Plus, the earthy palette is just right for fall.

3. Barn jackets

After first taking off last fall, barn jackets have cemented their place as transitional-weather royalty. First designed as 20th-century workwear, the silhouette remains deeply practical while also being effortlessly cool. (It’s a hard line to walk!) Pair any of the gems below with your favorite denim—we suggest a slim midiskirt or straight-leg jeans to offset the boxy silhouette—and finish the look off with smart loafers and oversized sunglasses. Boom: You’re a fashion editor.

4. Funnel necks

Minimalism is nothing new, but it’s entering a new era: The look is now defined by sculptural, personality-driven pieces that aren’t afraid to turn heads. Perhaps the easiest way to buy in is with a funnel-neck jacket, a silhouette that’s at once sporty and sophisticated. Stand collars were all over Copenhagen Fashion Week, a fresh take on something so simple. Pair your pick with easygoing trousers and slouchy boots to channel the Euro-cool vibe.

5. Leather bombers

Everyone from Saint Laurent to Eckhaus Latta showed oversized leather bomber jackets for fall, and we’re officially in the market for the perfect pick. The best ones channel ’80s style into something distinctly contemporary, updating the silhouette with padding, exaggerated arms, or those aforementioned funnel necks. They can both look and feel heavy, so offset the weight with a crisp T-shirt and full skirt on early fall days. When chillier weather rolls around, switch to black leggings or leather pants for a bit of editorial edge.
