Every time fall rolls around, I typically add a new light trench to the mix. Last year was this amazing navy and gold piped trench. I mean, could those colors be more perfect for me? It’s so luxe looking too. But this year, I’m welcoming this fun and casual plaid trench into the mix. Great with jeans and booties like I styled here. But will also be great with some sneakers for a more casual weekend vibe.
And would you believe me if I told you this coat is from Talbots? Yes! It’s not really a store I would typically shop at, but I’m loving this piece so much. It’s a total classic. And after browsing the Talbots site, I’m loving a FEW pretty things actually.
Statement Fall Jackets
But once fall rolls around, it’s time to start breaking out the jackets. I love a good light jacket for the season since it’s just warm enough but not overwhelming with southern weather around this time of year. A statement fall jacket helps to take jeans and a tee to the next level. Clearly, a trench coat is a favorite of mine (check out my favorites under $200 here). And today’s plaid one is a fun twist on the classic camel version.
But besides a trench, there are tons of other great lightweight jacket options to choose from. In my fall rotation is always a simple utility jacket like I’ve worn here. And also my suede moto jacket that I now have in a few colors it’s that good. It helps to make your look feel a bit edgier too. I love how this cornflower blue one looks with fall hues. For fall I also love the idea of a shirt jacket. It’s a more masculine take on a fall jacket. I’d pair it with booties or classic white sneakers for a super cool combination this fall.
