Trendy Jackets You'll See Everywhere In Fall 2024, According To Our Stylist

Every fall season comes with new jacket trends, and 2024 has quite a few fabulous ones in store for us. From what patterns would be on all the cool girls' coats to which colors you should look out for when shopping for a new jacket this autumn, we've got it all covered. And don't worry — this year's trends are super versatile, so there's something for everyone no matter if you prefer chic and sleek minimalism or funky statement pieces. From plaid to burgundy, here are the five jacket trends that will dominate the fashion world this fall.

A pattern that screams "cozy fall time" (and often trends during the season) is plaid, and this year, it's back in the form of stylish jackets. 

With plaid, there are two ways to go: the grungy, casual option and the preppy route. And this fall, both styles are fair game. The best part about this trend is that you can customize it to your personal style. Whether you prefer bold and colorful or simple and minimalist, there's a plaid jacket out there for you.

While many leather pieces are trendy year-round, some tend to shine as the weather gets colder. This fall, moto jackets will be a big deal, and we're thrilled to see the trend everywhere. From classic moto styles to fun pink interpretations, there's a version of the moto jacket for everyone in 2024. And since moto jackets have been around for decades, vintage and thrift shops are great places to find them, which also helps ensure you have a unique jacket that nobody around you will be rocking (or at least that's the goal).

Perhaps the most unusual and unexpected trend when it comes to this year's fall jackets is the cape-style jacket. And while a cape jacket won't provide much warmth to your arms, it's a piece that will showcase your fashion prowess this cooler season. In fact, if you live in an area that doesn't get too cold, a jacket like this is a great choice, as it will add a fun element to your look without making you sweat excessively. And if you're feeling really bold, you can always opt for a cropped cape jacket in a fun color, like pink.

Faux-fur coats are a great choice for anyone who wants to add some dramatic and glamorous flair to their fall fashion, and this year, they'll be more popular than ever. While a faux-fur coat can be a basic staple if it's in a neutral color and a classic style, it can also be a funky accessory if you opt for one that's bold and brightly colored. And with the weather becoming gloomy and rainy (which we love, don't get us wrong), a cool coat can be the pop of color that really brightens your day.

When it comes to colors that are taking over this year's fall jacket trends, it's all about the hues we naturally see in nature as it slowly prepares for winter. 

Suede and corduroy are two fabrics that look particularly great in shades like burgundy or rust, as they also add an additional cozy element to the jacket. However, if going all out with colors like these is a bit too much for you, a jacket with burgundy or rust details is also fair game this season.
