With fall just days away, we can’t help but think (admittedly too much) about transitional dressing. It’s always a bit tricky, but one of the easiest ways to master in-between-seasons style is an oldie but a goodie: a Kate Moss–approved army jacket. Here’s why: Firstly, the breathable yet substantial material serves to somehow keep you warm without ever making you feel too hot. Also, the color of an army jacket (whether it be an olive green, khaki, or even camo) acts as a neutral, meaning you can pair it with anything and it will blend seamlessly with your outfit. Lastly, they can be easily dressed up or down, as demonstrated by comparing these Olivia Palermo and Emma Roberts looks.

Now, you’re probably thinking But I already own an army jacket, to which I urge you in response to take a look at it and assess whether it feels stylish, clean, and worthy of wearing in 2016 (since most of us bought them more years ago than we’d like to admit). If so, then you’re done! Wear it at your leisure. If not, we’ve got you covered with the best ones to buy now.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
