Trending Jackets

This season’s jacket game is all about balancing timeless silhouettes with modern twists, and the standout trends are making it easier than ever to layer in style. First up, the cropped trench—a fresh spin on the classic topper that feels polished yet playful. Whether worn over wide-leg trousers or your favorite slip dress, it’s the perfect way to nail transitional dressing.

For those who love an edgier vibe, the oversized leather jacket is having a major moment. Think less biker-tight, more borrowed-from-your-coolest-friend. It’s the ultimate throw-on piece that instantly elevates everything from jeans to a satin skirt. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the ladylike tweed jacket is bringing back elegance with a modern edge. Short, boxy cuts paired with denim keep the look current, while statement buttons and rich textures add sophistication.

And let’s not forget the field jacket—utilitarian chic at its finest. With plenty of pockets and a slightly rugged silhouette, it’s a versatile layer that works as well for a coffee run as it does for a weekend escape.

Feeling inspired? The editors at Rank & Style have a curated collection of top-rated, trending jackets—all priced at $250 or less—so you can shop the season’s hottest picks with ease. Scroll on to find your new favorite layer for the fall season ahead.
