Summer is ending soon and Fall is slowly coming upon us. It’s the time of the year where you can get away with wearing shorts and a sweater without being judged too hard. It also means that it is the time of the year to bundle up with a jacket. But what are the most versatile jackets to wear for Fall? Which jackets can you wear with a variety of different looks? 

Bomber Jacket 

The pinnacle of timeless and versatile jackets is the Bomber. It can make an outfit a lot more streetwear-looking, but it can also add a more elegant look to others. For example, a button-up under a bomber jacket can change your look from casual to smart or business casual. It can also make walking outside in leggings more of a chic look.

Jean Jacket 

The Jean Jacket is an iconic element of American fashion that can be found both the men’s and women’s departments. There are limitless options with the jacket; you can go with a plain jean jacket or you choose one with a pattern or you could customize your own with pins or patches. 

Motorcycle Jacket

Motorcycle Jackets are just a stylish look on anyone, but are also useful against wind and the sun. They come in a variety of different colors, textures, and fabrics so you can get any look that you want with this one piece.

The Trench Coat is a classic among jackets whose look ranges from the traditional khaki to the sleek navy and black ones. It can easily transform a basic outfit into something straight off the streets of Paris.

The Peacoat is a useful piece which works perfectly with casual outfits and dressier attire. It can be paired with jeans or dress pants as well as dress shirts, sweaters, and turtlenecks. It is an easy coat that can just be thrown on with a variety of different clothing items.

Field Jacket

The Field Jacket is a military-inspired jacket that is lightweight and practical with its many pockets. It can be worn with a t-shirt or sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers for a more elevated casual look.
