Wax Jackets
Weather‑resistant and heritage‑leaning, wax jackets bring that lived‑in countryside polish to any fall outfit. They’re durable, practical, and look even better as they age!
Not kidding... this might be the greatest jacket of all time. Barbours are an investment, but I know people who've literally passed them down through generations
A trench is timeless for a reason: it’s polished, versatile, and flattering on everyone. These jackets offer lightweight coverage with a refined, transitional feel.
The gingham lining on this jacket really elevates it! I also love that its slightly cool-toned compared to some other trench-style jackets/coats.
Barbour Kingswood Casual Jacket - Anthropologie
I suppose this is technically more of a coat, but a very lightweight one, and I adore the plaid pattern
Beige Checked Buckle-Belt Trench Coat - & Other Stories
My go-to cropped trench coat and great for anyone on a budget.
Dark beige Funnel-Collar Twill Jacket - H&M
I don't think I can articulate just how much I adore this coat
Damson Madder Liu Showerproof Raincoat
Suede jackets
Suede brings such a rich, tactile finish that always feels quietly luxurious. These jackets elevate simple outfits and add a warm, earthy tone perfect for autumn palettes.
I'm so obsessed with this! Suede is such a gorgeous way to add texture to an outfit in fall.
This faux suede is just incredible and I adore the rich, chocolate-y brown colour.
Faux-Suede Funnel-Neck Jacket - Anthropologie
This is so perfectly tailored, it's exquisite. Its very much giving 70s, in the best way.
BLANKNYC Real Suede Jacket - Anthropologie
Twill Jackets
Twill offers structure without stiffness, giving these jackets a clean, tailored feel that works for both office days and casual weekends. They’re lightweight but dependable for early‑season layering.
This jacket is currently at the very top of my outerwear wishlist! I absolutely LOVE the shape of it and that gingham trim detailing!
Avec Les Filles Gingham Trim Cape Jacket
The plaid detailing on the cuffs of this jacket is so cute, and its cut perfectly to wear with jeans or wide-leg work trousers.
Dark brown Funnel-Collar Twill Jacket - H&M
The corduroy cuff detailing on this jacket elevates it so well, and the pattern is neutral but still fun.
Zip-Up Short Jacket - UNIQLO
I love all the colours that Uniqlo make this in, but the olive in particular is stunning
Unisex Coverall - UNIQLO
This literally goes with everything and the pinstripes make it feel a little bit dressier.
Women's Black Pinstriped Funnel-Collar Jersey Jacket - H&M
No one does green quite like Barbour - this jacket isn't waxed, but as a result its a bit cheaper than some of their other peices.
I love the stripe detail on the arm of this jacket, it makes it feel really sporty.
Bubble Sport Jacket - Anthropologie
This jacket is just so cool, I love the oversized fit and the funnel neck.
Oversized Funnel-Neck Jacket - Free People
Felted/Wool Jackets
Soft, warm, and beautifully textured, wool and felted jackets add instant depth to fall looks. They’re ideal for crisp mornings and pair effortlessly with knits and denim.
Such a beautiful cut and colour, and amazing value
Dark Red Collared Wool Jacket
The quality of this is so nice, especially for the price, and I adore the checked pattern on it
Women's Brown Plaid Felted Funnel-Collar Jacket - H&M
The pinstripes on this jacket and the almost cape-esque cut really set it apart. It would look amazing with some plain navy wide leg trousers.
