Trust Us – These Are The Best Jacket Trends You’ll Want To Wear On Repeat This Autumn

For those inclined to wilt at the faintest hint of heat, relief is here. The air is cooler, the pencils have been restocked, and the time has come to acknowledge what we already know: it’s jacket season. Not quite wool coat weather (patience), but ample opportunity to start layering with the best jackets for women. Now, outerwear trends are generally more long-lasting, so by all means, keep the leather bomber and sturdy chore jacket in rotation, but a slight switch in silhouette will lend the jeans-and-jumper combination a fresher edge.

If the AW25 runways are any indication, the jacket trends this autumn aren't veering that far from the classics. Practical favourites such as barn jackets (thank you, Prada) and rugged technical jackets continue to appeal to the style set. Don't believe us? Look then to the recently wrapped Copenhagen Fashion Week, where the stylish street style crowd paired their waterproof and multipocketed jackets with everything from bubble-hem mini skirts and bloomers to more understated cargos and jeans. If you're after more elegant styles, caped trench coats are shaping up to be a big trend this season, as are collarless short jackets with a tailored waist.

From high street to more premium brands, the fashion crowd has already declared their nominees for this year's favourites. The Toteme Cotton Jacket, with its corduroy-trimmed collar, for example, has been put forward as the barn jacket for the season, while the Nobody's Child check trim trench coat was a fashion week favourite. Other favourites for this season are the sell-out M&S vinyl coat that Alexa Chung wore in 2016 and the Massimo Dutti long suede leather coat (did we mention butter yellow suede is going to be huge this year?)

In an effort to make your search far less painstaking, we've collated an edit of the best jacket trends for autumn 2025 to wear now that there's an undeniable chill in the air, as well as some inspiration on how to style them, along with exactly where to shop them.

Shop: The Best Jackets And Coats For Women 2025

The New Workwear Jacket

Everyone, dig out your khaki army parka – it’s officially back. Multi-pocketed jackets semaphore a utilitarian spirit that the fashion set has already subscribed to. Blue jeans, grey cashmere and penny loafers will complete the look. Alternatively, juxtapose the rugged jacket with floaty dresses and feminine skirts.

The Trench Cape

Feel like stepping out of the box? This might just be the jacket for you. Part Cotswolds, part city, the trench cape is the unexpected equestrian-inspired entry to the category of transitional jackets that we’ve taken a liking to. Wear over maxidresses, paired with long boots or with straight-fit jeans and laofer for a preppy flair.

The Technical Jackets

No longer a preserve for hiking trails, the practical anorak, made from showerproof fabrics, has come into fashion’s favour. Match it with an outfit that sits in counterpoint to its dad-appeal: frilly dresses, tailored trousers and crisp shirting.

Collarless Blazers

With a subtle callback to Chanel's classic tweed suit jackets, this clean and understated jacket silhouette is quickly becoming a key staple for minimalists. With softer, more feminine lines than a traditional blazer, it's the easiest way to look put-together this autumn. For September, stick to styling cropped collarless blazers with midi skirts and ballet flats and come winter, you'll be layering yours over silk dresses and glossy knee-high boots (with a wool coat on top, of course).

Funnel-Neck Jackets

Whether it’s a trench or a cropped blouson, this season the emphasis lies on a popped-up funnel neck collar for added drama. Add rambunctious sunglasses and – for the easiest of elevation, tuck your hair into the collar.

Suede Blazers

Suede is always relevant come autumn, and this season, we're leaning toward tailored suede jackets in classic autumnal shades as well as pretty pastels. No matter if your style is more button-downs and trousers or lace skirts and maxi dresses, a suede blazer will look great paired with it all.
