As the ultimate combination of form and function, fall and winter outerwear presents us with the chance to style our wardrobes in an entirely different way than during the rest of the year. This season, celebrities, style influencers, and brands are embracing jackets that represent some familiar trends with a contemporary twist. From Bella Hadid rocking chic leather blazers to the Kardashians piecing together belted jacket ensembles, we’re shown how to welcome the colder months in style:
1. Cozy plaids
A favorite of Instagram influencers, the cozy plaid jacket serves as a casual but on-trend option for bundling up. These are typically oversized, and commonly get paired with laid-back pants. Kendall Jenner was recently photographed grabbing coffee in a loose-fitting red and blue flannel thrown over a skin-tight tank with black sweats and sneakers. Northface presented a plaid hooded pullover for women this season that comes in a relaxed fit to easily blend with the informal vibe that cozy plaids are suited to.
2. Leather blazers
Hailey Bieber, Kaia Gerber, and the Hadid sisters have all gone with the leather blazer look for fall. What makes this style so wearable is its prime versatility. Leather blazers can go over jeans or short evening dresses to add a sense of sophisticated edge to virtually any look. Everyone knows that a good leather jacket is a staple wardrobe piece, but the blazer evolves the classic moto-style leather jacket narrative to become boldly fashion-forward.
3. Shearling details
Shearling is a fall and winter outerwear trend that has lasted the test of time. In recent years, celebrities have gravitated toward the teddy coat, which takes the shearling look to the maximum level. In 2020, the more understated shearling detailed jacket is the direction to go in. Kim Kardashian has been seen in military-inspired coats with visible shearling lining. Gisele Bundchen took her daughter on an outing in a camel-colored shearling-detailed jacket this year. Luxury fashion brand Moncler has several coats with shearling this season, adding additional comfort and warmth to classic puffer jackets.
4. Quilted puffers
Speaking of puffer coats, the quilted puffer is another wildly popular trend for 2020. Emily Ratajkowski, Meghan Markle, Hilary Duff, and Kylie Jenner are among just some of the stars who like to rock this style. Originally made popular in the supremely puffy style, a more refined take is being seen this season. Canada Goose has a couple of more form-fitting, understated quilted puffer jackets in their line. Similar to the leather jacket, the puffer coat is a versatile look that can be found in many different styles and used to cultivate many different fall and winter vibes.
5. Belted jackets
Last on the list for fall and winter 2020 is the ever-classy belted jacket. For the 2020 season, Micheal Kors is offering a wide range of belted jackets. This is yet another outerwear trend riding the versatility wave. The look can be done in denim, puffer, and even trench coat styles. The belted jacket has recently been worn by Ashley Graham, Rihanna, and Karlie Kloss.
Moving into the fall and winter seasons means having to cover up, but what we cover ourselves up with makes a statement all on its own. Bundle up in one of these trends that’s heating up 2020’s cold months!
