Must Have Jackets for Fall & How to Style Them

Fall 2025 jackets are all about texture, structure, and versatility. Think of your outerwear as refreshingly reimagined classics—a funnel-neck trench for drama, suede blazers for polish, plaid pieces for timeless chic, and quilted layers for cozy layering. Let’s break down the key jacket styles that are on point this season!

Fall 2025 Jacket Trends to Know

Funnel-Neck Jackets

Funnel Neck jackets are going to be everywhere this fall! These high-collar styles aren’t just functional, they add an architectural, editorial flair. Expect them in trench, bomber, and parka silhouettes across price points—from cozy nylon to luxe leather.(Nina Flint Blog - Nina Flint)

Cropped Trench Coats

The classic trench gets revamped with cropped lengths, fun with utility and minimalism. You’ll see them from high-end labels like Prada and Burberry to fast-fashion.(Glamour, Who What Wear, Currently Popular)

Suede & Leather Jackets

Rich, tactile suede jackets (blazers, shirt styles) are a huge catch…they are roomy yet refined. Leather makes a comeback too, but with simpler design lines, letting texture and structure speak.(Who What Wear)

Barn & Country Jackets

Barn or chore jacket styles rooted in countryside charm are trending—think relaxed tailoring, earthy tones, and heritage prints.(Who What Wear, Glamour)

Quilted & Oversized Puffers / Windbreakers

For warmth with whimsy, quilted jackets and puffers are holding strong. Windbreakers get an upgrade too with more fashion-forward silhouettes.(Marie Claire)

Denim Jackets - Fresh Takes

Denim isn’t out of play—it’s just updated. Cropped trenches in denim, barn‑jacket hybrid silhouettes, and belted or collarless fits create texture-filled options for transitional layering.(Who What Wear, Glamour)

Plaid & Checked Jackets

Plaids are stepping into the spotlight (also in pieces other than jackets). Tailored, distressed, or cropped—these are heritage-inspired statement pieces, offering versatility and instant polish.(Who What Wear)

Bombers & Track-Inspired Jackets

Bomber jackets continue strong, particularly in oversized leather or preppy cotton styles. Track-style jackets are also gaining momentum, tapping into sporty minimalism.(Marie Claire)
