20 Fall Jackets That’ll Keep You Cozy *and* Make a Statement

Sizes available: XS-XL

The Free People Pippa Packable Puffer Jacket is my personal favorite year-round silhouette, but I’m not the only one—over 30,000 shoppers are also big fans of the garment. It’s incredibly lightweight yet super warm and it features a relaxed silhouette that’s easy to layer under. Whether I wear it on its own over a tank top or layered over a sweatshirt, I always feel warm but never overheated. Best of all, it packs down super small, so it’s a particularly great option for those who travel, as it won’t monopolize your luggage.

(FYI: If you’re someone who gets cold hands easily, the Free People Poppy Packable Puffer ($168) may be an even better option, as the pockets are lined with fleece.)

You can drop big bucks on a fleece these days, which is why W+G editors adore this one from REI. It’s just as snuggly as some of its expensive counterparts, only it’s well under $100. And it’s sustainable, made entirely from recycled polyester that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Premiere feel, eco-friendly materials, and an affordable price point—what more could ya want?

The Athleta Whisper Featherless Jacket is beloved by hundreds of shoppers for its inclusive sizing, relaxed fit, chic high-low dolphin hem, sustainable design, and water-repellent fabric. Despite being quite lightweight, the jacket is actually super warm thanks to being made with recycled Thinsulate. As such it’s a great layering staple, whether worn over a workout top or thicker sweater or sweatshirt. As for us, we can’t get enough of the Madeira Purple color, though, it’s also sold in two neutral shades.

(Swooning over the concept of a quilted jacket but wanting a less athletic-looking silhouette? The Rhode Wesley Jacket, $565, is a cotton quilted silhouette that works wonderfully as an outer layer overtop sweaters, blouses, and turtlenecks. It features a luxe, boho floral print with a high-contrast spritz-red lining.)

Bomber jackets have become super popular over the years but of all the styles I’ve tried, none are as comfortable as the Alpha Industries MA-1 Blood Chit Bomber Jacket. The reversible jacket, which pairs well with personalized patches, is lightweight and roomy, making it a perfect fall coat. Most notably, this jacket holds up well. I’ve had it for six years and it still looks brand new.

Barn jackets are trending on TikTok. Of all the barn jackets that exist, the L.L.Bean Women’s Adirondack Flannel-Lined Barn Coat is perhaps the most iconic. The flannel-lined jacket is made of water-repellent cotton canvas and features a statement corduroy collar and cuffs. It’s sold in an olive green color as well as light khaki, both of which are perfect for fall.

(Love the idea of a Barn Coat but hoping for something a bit dressier? The J.Crew Heritage Quilted Barn Jacket with PrimaLoft ($248), which features gold snap buttons and a high-contrast corded point collar, is a great choice. It’s sold in four colors in women’s sizes XXS to 3XL)

Biker jackets will never not be in style. This one from Noize is beloved by W+G Commerce Editor, Francesca Krempa, for its boxy silhouette, asymmetric zipper, and vegan leather. “It makes me feel like a total badass,” she says. “It’s also made entirely from vegan leather, which puts my conscious at ease.” Mind you, this silhouette is meant for aesthetics—it’s not meant to be a form of protective gear worn on actual motorcycles.

The Levi’s XL Trucker Jacket is perhaps the most instantly recognizable denim jacket to exist. It’s wonderfully oversized, made of high-quality denim, and features the brand’s small statement red tag. It’s the perfect ‘90s silhouette and it works exceptionally well as a fall jacket since it can layer over just about anything.

Leather trench coats are expected to be everywhere this fall (the silhouette has earned over 4 billion views on TikTok) but as a result, most are fully out of stock. If you’re on the hunt for an extremely comfortable, well-made faux leather trench, get this one from Quince. It’s made from sustainably sourced soft leather and lined with a poly-satin for a look that feels elegant the moment it’s on. The single-breasted silhouette looks chic open or closed and instantly adds a level of coolness to any outfit.

If you like to spend a lot of time outdoors but never know how hot you’ll become while adventuring about, a convertible jacket is the way to go. The Halfdays Davis Convertible Jacket is our favorite of the category thanks to its fun quilted wave pattern, extra-large pockets, and removable sleeves. I personally love the bold chartreuse color, how roomy it is, and how long the hem is, making it great to pair with leggings while out on a hike or for a day of apple picking. Best of all, the spacious pockets (which are fleece lined!) actually feature dual-use. The front flap pockets are deep on their own but then there are separate traditional, side-entry pockets behind them, too. Suffice to say, the design is great—and the color offering is, too.

The Halfdays Nellie Packable Puffer Jacket is another fabulous travel-friendly silhouette for fall and beyond. Another W+G editor favorite, the ultra-lightweight puffer features a hip-length relaxed, oversized fit that’s easy to layer under and over. It’s wind-resistant and extra warm, and the fluffy, packable design makes it double as a travel pillow. Another unique feature of this jacket is its large back pocket, which could come in hand on hikes and while running errands, as you can store hats, snacks, reusable shopping bags, and more.

‘70s fashion continues to seep into style (Thanks Daisy Jones), making the Show Me Your Mumu Penny Lane Coat an iconic choice for a fall jacket.

For those who want a casual fleece jacket for errand runs and jaunts to the gym, the Free People Hit the Slopes Fleece Jacket is a popular pick. Beloved by over 36,000 shoppers, the cropped, relaxed jacket features a button-front design with three zip pockets and slouchy sleeves for an adjustable fit. Thanks to its roomy silhouette, I found that it pairs perfectly over sweatshirts and lightweight shirts alike.
