I'm Not Ready for Heavy Puffers—34 Lightweight Jackets I'm Turning To Instead
One of the best parts of fall: the ability to leave the house in a light layer. There's no clunky coat to ruin the vibe of the outfit, because the jacket is the outfit—and that, my friends, is one of the most beautiful things about the September-November period.
I've spent most of my days in cold states, so I've had a lot of practice with this. A good light jacket is truly timeless, and earns its spot in your wardrobe for years (even decades!). For me, a light jacket has to meet some important criteria: not too trendy, not too limiting, and not flimsy. I have screened the following 34 selects against these rules.
I'm really into this neckline.
The electric blue pairs so well with the sporty feel of this jacket.
The subtle burgundy hue is an absolute yes.
It's the leather collar for me.
A strong contender for my favorite jacket on this list.
Swooning majorly for the vintage-inspired clip hardware.
I love the black colorway equally as much, if not more.
I would style this exactly as shown. Perfect for a slightly chilly fall day.
The official French-girl uniform.
Picturing this worn unzipped with a great white tee and a polished burgundy trouser.
Frog clasps: fall's favorite trend.
I own and wear this jacket at least once a week. The matching jeans pull the whole look together.
Immediately yes.
It's just so good, I am at a loss for words. The embroidery—the colors—just perfection.
The hair tuck is essential.
Petition for all jackets to come with a crocheted capelet.
This silhouette is unlike any I have seen on the market, and I love it for that very reason.
The colorful fabric is just so cheery.
Liberowe could teach a master class in jacketing.
Capes are truly having a moment. Stay ahead of the trend!
When a piece combines fashion and function this well, you know you've won.
This jacket buttoned up and worn as a top gets my stamp of approval.
This peplum detailing is next level, and can also be tucked in to give the jacket an added layer of versatility.
One of the most timeless things you can own is a tweed jacket.
I love the way this is buttoned in the photo. It adds such interest to an outfit.
The floral jacquard contrasting trim—I mean c'mon!
A waxed jacket belongs in every fall wardrobe. Bonus points for the tartan collar.
Perfection, is the only thing I can say here.
The canvas fabric adds a structured feel.
The velvet makes this the perfect choice for a crisp night out.
Jaw. Is. Dropped.
Really like how this one has a bit more of a sweater-y structure and feel.
The drapey satin just works so well with the relaxed shape of this jacket.
Also love this jacket buttoned up and worn in place of a top.
