5 Stylish Jackets To Have in Your Closet This Fall

My Must-Have Fall Jackets

I love a simple jeans and t-shirt outfit as much as the next girl, but sometimes it starts to feel a little bit Plain Jane, even for me. Once I started adding more jackets to my wardrobe, I realized they were the missing component to making complete outfits that felt modern and polished. So these are five fall jackets I recommend having in your closet this season, as well as what styles and colors are trending.

#1. Barn Jacket

J.Crew Short Barn Jacket (S) // Cashmere Relaxed T-Shirt (M) // MOTHER The Hustler Roller Skimp (29) (option) // Nili Lotan belt (90) // Matisse McCarthy Mule (8.5) // Madewell tote in Chocolate Raisin (budget option / splurge option) // YSL sunnies -25% off (budget option)

The barn jacket is trending big time this fall, and I’m loving the updated shorter styles. I found this Short Barn Jacket™ in English ripstop cotton at J.Crew. It has some really nice classic details like the gold crest buttons and corduroy collar, but the short and boxy silhouette makes this preppy classic feel fresh for Fall 2024.

This is more of an outerwear piece than an outfit topper, so I wore it over this relaxed cashmere tee with the rolled edges and pretty contrasting trim at the collar. That way, when I remove the jacket, I still have a complete outfit on underneath.

Another option is this Quilted Barn Jacket from Talbots. It has a slightly longer length but still looks modern, and it’s 40% off with code STYLISH.

By the way, the YSL sunglasses I’m wearing are 25% off at Nordstrom! I’ve never seen them on sale, so I wanted to call them out. I’ve had these for two or three years, and I wear them almost every day, so while they’re spendy, the cost per wear works out over time.
