I love this time of year. Just color me fall as mother nature has the best set of crayons you’ll ever find. Enhance your wardrobe with all the beautiful colors of this season. Most of us own a winter coat that we wear soon will wear almost everyday. And, it’s usually a basic color. During the fall however, we have more outerwear style options. We can wear colorful lightweight jackets, sweaters, and blazers before the temperatures drop. Below I’ve 7 types of jackets that I love this fall.
Camel Coat
You can wear a camel coat with jeans and leggings for a preppy look. You can throw on a camel coat as a topper over a black dress for a classic minimalist style. Or experiment with being a little avant chic, by layering it over a denim vest with a plaid shirt underneath and add your favorite pair of boots. How many other coats give you all of these options to change up your street style?
Teddy Jackets
Teddy jackets are warm and cozy. These comfy coats are meant for casual style. Wear these with leggings and jeans or over your athleisure clothes
Capes & Ponchos
Capes are excellent over heavier chunky sweaters and turtlenecks. Not to mention they are the hottest trend on the streets right now.
Checked or Plaid Blazers
A statement blazer is synonymous with fall. They will forever be a perfect duo. Wearing a blazer over a plain or graphic tee shirt and a pair of jeans allows you to dress casual with an added touch of formality. Blazers combined with jeans always incorporate a pulled together look. The lines of a blazer can vary from tailored to structured. The 90’s oversized boyfriend blazer has also made a comeback.
Faux Leather Bomber Jackets
A leather jacket looks great with with dresses and long skirts. I love mixing the femininity of a dress with the rustic vibe of a leather jacket
Army & Utility Jackets
Army jackets are some of the more popular lightweight jacket styles for women right now. You can find them embellished or with fun patches, this makes the rugged looking outwear show a more feminine tone. For practical purposes army jackets have many pockets. Pockets on coats come in handy especially if you are attending a sporting event at a stadium that has restrictions on purse size.
Trench Coats & Belted Wrap Coats
You can find the classic trench coat now with snakeskin and leopard print patterns which are very popular. I’ve also seen a spin on the traditional khaki colored trench coats in shimmery metallic shades.
What ever your “in between” jacket is, throw it on and head outdoors. This time of year is a great time for layering and enjoying lighter outerwear before the heavy coats are a mandatory staple. Enjoy the colorful crisp days of fall and treat yourself to a pumpkin spiced latte.

Morning Nancy!
I think I own every one except a trench coat. and camel I love moto jackets and have a bit of a collection. The camel coat looks so lovely and classic on you! I also love the red plaid and leather leggings, very stylish and fun! I have a few winter coats but we dont need many in the South. Last year hubby bought me a teddy bear coat for Christmas and I love it!
Enjoy your week!

Hi Jess,
I think I own every style as well! Living in the Midwest you need several coats. I’m fortunate enough to have many, although with my recent move to Naples I guess I won’t be needing too many now. A teddy bear coat sounds so comfy and I be you get a lot of use out of that too.
Have a wonderful week!
Nancy
