In this early-autumn period, when it's too cold to go without a jacket, but too warm to reach for your favourite coat, the fashion-set have been gravitating towards an outerwear item that gives you the best of both worlds: the wool jacket.
The chic jacket trend that we're snapping for autumn, a wool jacket offers the wind-defying coverage you need for a blustery autumn day, without weighing you down with extra fabric before the weather calls for it.
The autumn/winter '23 runway shows saw wool jackets on offer from many of our favourite designers. French brand Ami sent a workwear style overshirt down the runway, styled with tonal wide-leg trousers and pointed ballet flats, whilst reigning queen of the wool coat, Max Mara debuted a chic cropped wool jacket in its famous camel tone.
And it is not just designers that have noted the allure of wool jackets, with plenty of our favourite influencers also spotted in the classic staple as a warmer alternative to the blazer styles we've been gravitating towards during the summer months.
So, we've scoured high-street and designer stores to locate wool jackets in all of our favourite cuts, from chic bombers to sleek wrap styles. Wear the jacket with high-waisted trousers or lean right in to the autumn mood and wear with a pleated skirt and knee-high boots.
With retailers such as COS, Massimo Dutti and Toteme offering up compelling versions of the chic autumn overcoat, shop our edit of the best wool jackets available to buy now below.
