5 Autumn Jacket Trends H&M Is Doing Better Than Anywhere Else Right Now
As autumn takes the reins, I've been working through my clothes to identify the areas that can hold their own throughout the new season, and the sections that need some attention. As I catalogued my entire collection, I quickly realised that my jacket selection could do with some serious TLC. Void of a few staple styles, I took to the high street to try to plug the gaps.
With autumn collections taking hold in stores, it didn't take me long to find some excellent jacket options, and in particular, an impressively chic range at H&M. Tapping into some of the major jacket trends that we spotted on the runways in February, H&M's autumn jacket collection has given my wardrobe new hope.
If your wardrobe is also looking for a new-season boost, find my edit below of the five autumn jacket trends H&M has really nailed this season.
5 AUTUMN JACKET TRENDS H&M HAS PERFECTED
1. BARN JACKETS
Style Notes: Barn jackets are emerging as the breakthrough jacket trend of the season. Spotted up and down the streets throughout London Fashion Week, the barn jacket is a new staple in the wardrobe of stylish city dwellers. Major designers like Loewe have perfected the style, but H&M's versions are arguably just as chic.
The waxed finish makes this perfect for wet-weather days.
The khaki colour trend is taking off this autumn.
2. SUEDE JACKETS
Style Notes: Vintage-inspired suede jackets are working their way into the wardrobes of fashion people everywhere. Supple and soft, this lightweight yet warm layer gives a laid-back feel whilst imparting a chic and elevated edge. Having scoured the high street, H&M's faux-suede styles have really caught my eye.
Yes, it has a much higher price point, but this cosy coat will keep you warm throughout the height of winter.
3. LEATHER JACKETS
Style Notes: H&M's leather jacket selection is one of the best I've found on the high street. Composed of real leather, these jackets will last you for years to come.
The detachable collar effectively gives you two jackets in one.
4. TRENCH JACKETS
Style Notes: Whilst I'll always be partial to a sweeping trench coat, H&M's trench jackets make a very compelling case for the cropped iteration of the classic outerwear style. With generous lapels, button detailing and that same relaxed silhouette, one of these light jackets is about to become my new go-to for early autumn.
This is slightly thicker than a normal trench and perfect for the autumn-to-winter transition.
This light-beige shade is so easy to slip into a capsule wardrobe.
5. DENIM JACKETS
Style Notes: In my opinion, there's no jacket better suited to the autumn season than a classic denim style. Perfect for layering over a warm knit or hoodie as the weather starts to dip, this casual jacket also styles well over dresses to make your favourite summer styles feel autumn-ready in an instant.
