2025 is all about updated iterations of tried-and-true classics. On the runways this season we saw a resurgence of rugged menswear-inspired styles, like denim chore coats and versatile barn jackets. Even blazers look tougher than usual this season: we’re seeing them all over in thick suede.
A few favorites from last fall continue to be popular as well, like twists on trench coats and lightweight, quilted shells. Collarless and ladylike jackets à la Miss Chanel herself look fresh this season with denim. Ahead, shop the top jacket trends for fall—straight from the runways and ready to join your closet.
Barn Jackets
After being seen on the runway at Prada time and time again, barn jackets have undoubtedly become this season’s It item. The surprisingly versatile piece looks great for a rugged day outdoors or mixed with ladylike separates.
Leather Jackets
Leather jackets take on a minimalist slant this season. Free of distressing and overwrought details, these sleek shapes look especially polished.
Suede Blazers
The blazer of the season comes in a tough suede. These styles turn the office staple on its head, making it appropriate for outdoors as well as in office.
Remixed Trenches
You can never go wrong with a classic trench, but this season we’re seeing them in all different shapes and sizes. These twisted trenches feature cropped silhouettes, oversized lapels, and leather extras.
Collarless Jackets
Collarless styles look chicer than ever, whether worn as a blazer, cape, in leather, or even in knit form.
Leopard Jackets
Bold leopard jackets commanded the attention at Valentino, Khaite, and Adam Lippes. A statement of confidence in real life, style yours with denim and other essentials (a white tee, a grey crewneck), or embrace own the look and mix with other patterns.
Little Lady Jacket
Blazer fatigue? Swap it out for little lady jacket. Make it a set with a coordinating pencil skirt, as seen at Gucci, or offset its primness with denim for a more modern look.
Sporty Jackets
In plaid, double-faced wool, or a durable twill weave, the zip-up blouson remained a runway fixture this fall. Take notes from Prada and pair yours with a skirt or relaxed trouser for a touch of sport. Borrowing from the boys, yet soft in shape, they make for a great transitional jacket.
Funnel-Neck Jackets
The hero silhouette of the season is the funnel-neck jacket. Equal parts practical and directional, consider it the cool-girl way to shield yourself from whipping winds.
