Our favorite jackets for fall are bringing together rich textures, versatile layers, and some of the biggest outerwear trends of Fall 2026. This season, jackets are doing more than keeping you warm - they are becoming one of the main pieces that pulls an outfit together.
From faux-leather to suede to denim, there is a fall jacket for every style. Whether you want something polished, casual, cozy, or a little more fashion-forward, these are some of our favorite jackets to wear all season long.
Make a Statement in a Faux-Leather Trench
The trench coat is getting an updated feel for Fall 2026, with oversized proportions and leather finishes making the classic silhouette feel more modern.
The Bristol Black Faux-Leather Trench Coat is an easy way to bring this trend into your wardrobe. The black faux-leather finish gives it a sleek, statement-making feel that can instantly elevate even your simplest outfit.
For an everyday look, wear it over a fitted sweater with straight-leg jeans and boots. For a dressier outfit, layer it over a satin midi dress with heels. You can also pair the trench with a mini skirt, tights, and loafers for a fashion-forward fall look.

Try Rich Brown With a Touch of Contrast
Brown is one of the easiest colors to incorporate into your fall wardrobe, and the mix of different textures makes it even more interesting this season. Contrasting collars and trims are also a major outerwear detail for Fall 2026, adding dimension to otherwise classic jacket silhouettes.
The Kate Brown Contrast A-Line Jacket combines brown denim with a faux-leather collar and trim for a particularly stylish take on the trend.
The A-line silhouette makes this jacket easy to style with fitted pieces underneath. Try it with a simple sweater and dark-wash jeans for a tonal fall outfit, or wear it over a dress with knee-high boots. You can also pair it with a fitted skirt for a more feminine take on the structured jacket.

Suede Is a Fall Favorite
Suede is having a major moment for Fall 2026, with brown suede jackets appearing everywhere from street style to celebrity wardrobes. Its soft texture adds instant depth to fall outfits while still being easy to wear with everyday pieces.
The Allie Brown Faux-Suede Jacket is the kind of layer you'll want to reach for again and again. The rich brown color works beautifully with cream, denim, olive, black, and other fall shades.
Keep it casual with a fitted sweater, wide-leg jeans, and sneakers, or dress it up with a floral midi dress and ankle boots. For an especially current look, pair the brown jacket with another warm neutral and let the different textures create the interest.

Keep It Classic With an Olive Quilted Jacket
Quilted jackets continue to be a fall staple, especially as an easy option for transitional weather. The style fits right in with the season's continued interest in practical, textured outerwear.
The Jennifer Olive Quilted Jacket brings one of fall's favorite colors together with a classic quilted texture.
Style it with straight-leg jeans, a simple tee, and sneakers for everyday errands, or layer it over a sweater with wide-leg denim and ankle boots. Olive also looks great with cream and brown, so try pairing it with neutral pieces for an easy tonal outfit.

Add Texture With Faux Fur
When you want your outerwear to make more of a statement, faux fur is the way to go. Fur-trimmed and faux-fur jackets are part of Fall 2026's focus on rich textures and cozy, luxurious-looking layers.
The Kirstin Faux-Fur Fawn Jacket brings a softer, more glamorous feel to fall outfits. The fawn shade is neutral enough to style in plenty of ways while still standing out.
Try it over a simple black dress for a dinner or date-night outfit, or pair it with dark denim and a fitted top for a more casual look. You can also contrast the cozy texture with a satin skirt or dress for an elevated evening outfit.

Give Denim a Fresh Update
A denim jacket is one of the most versatile pieces in a fall wardrobe, but this season's versions are moving beyond the basic classic trucker. Updated silhouettes, darker washes, oversized shapes, and interesting details are giving denim jackets a fresh feel.
Black denim is an easy way to make the classic jacket feel a little more polished. Pair one with a cream sweater, dark denim jeans, and boots for a sleek monochromatic-inspired outfit.
Pleated denim jackets add more structure and visual interest, while drawstring-waist styles create a more defined silhouette. Wear these updated shapes with wide-leg jeans, midi skirts, or dresses to play with proportions.
Denim also works especially well as a contrast piece. Try a denim jacket over a floral dress, a satin skirt, or a feminine blouse to balance softer pieces with something a little more casual.
