Unpopular opinion: I have no interest in pumpkin spice lattes. That’s not to say I don’t love autumn—on the contrary, I definitely do—but if you’d ask me what actually makes this time of year worth looking forward to, a lot of that it to do with fall jackets.
Bare shoulders and bikinis are nice, but give me a time of year when I can feel the warm, fuzzy textures of a knit on my shoulders or slip a buttery, leather jacket over pretty much anything—that’s what I’m most looking forward to. Thankfully, with chilly temperatures around the corner, the fall jacket options are endless, spanning from Matrix-ready textures and classic plaid to retro corduroy and the pattern of the moment, animal print. Best yet? You can buy in for as low as $35.
Ahead, take a look at the 53 fall jackets that hit on all the major trends and are so much more satisfying than a pumpkin-flavored drink.
