When it comes to building our wardrobes, there's something that feels particularly special about saving up our hard-earned cash for that one designer item we just can't stop thinking about. While we believe a luxury handbag is always a smart investment, when it comes to clothing, you really can't go wrong with a designer jacket. Whether a classic leather moto or a cropped shearling style—or something totally out-there and statement-making—jackets have much more wearability than most items and can be layered over a variety of different outfit combinations. This means, of course, that you get much more bang for your buck, which is always a good thing.
Ahead, we rounded up 25 of the best designer jackets for women that money can buy. From Gucci and Bottega Veneta to It girl-approved contemporary labels like Stand Studio and Nanushka, trust us, these are all worth the investment. Keep scrolling to shop our favorites of the season.
We're drooling over this gorgeous pick from ACNE Studios.
This fringed leather shacket from R13 has an effortlessly cool feel.
Leave it to Nanushka to create the best moto jacket to exist. We love that it's made from regenerated leather, upping the eco-friendly factor.
Another great moto jacket is this cropped style from Off-White, adorned with all the hardware and zipper toggles one can dream of.
This cropped number from Proenza Schouler’s White Label is so chic. We love it paired with a slit midi skirt like above, but it would just as great thrown on over a minidress or paired with casual denim.
A classic denim jacket, but better.
We're obsessed with the puffed sleeves on this Alexander McQueen jacket.
I need this one immediately.
This sleek blazer from Ganni can definitely double as outerwear on not-too-cold days. We're big fans of the asymmetrical button closure.
Is there anything more statement-making than faux fur–adorned metallic silver? We think not.
This Brandon Maxwell jacket has "holiday party” written all over it.
Equal parts cozy and cool, we've been eyeing this MM6 Maison Margiela jacket.
Denim gets the sporty treatment for this cropped puffer.
A Gucci cape? Don't mind if we do.
We're obsessed with this entire Givenchy look, TBH.
This track jacket, though!
This wool Veronica Beard jacket is ideal for cooler days.
When it comes to leather, Veda can do no wrong.
How cozy is this Isabel Marant faux fur–lined jacket?
We're loving the widened sleeves on this cropped style from Rebecca Taylor.
This is my dream jacket. Just saying.
This fuzzy wonder from Saint Laurent is peak cozy.
This Bottega Veneta bomber may be pricey, but isn't it perfect?
This color is too good.
