As the weather slowly but surely begins to turn, so too do our wardrobes.
It's like a never-ending circle of rotating pieces, and it can get overwhelming especially when the weather's as indecisive and stroppy as it's been so far this year.
So we've totted up autumn's hottest jacket trends and sought expert advice on how to style them for that tricky in-between weather.
Jacket à la cowgirl
Insta mega-babe Monikh had us feeling all kinds of ways when she modelled a Nili Lotan fringed jacket in a recent pic she uploaded. And since then it’s been a domino effect of influencers and anybody-who’s-a-fashion-somebody rocking a bit of fringing with a dash of denim. In honour of Second Hand September, keep it vintage if you can – Rokit Vintage has some fabulous options online and in its Brick Lane store.
The One with the Belt
It’s time to suck in the evidence of the excesses of summer with belted jackets, as they make their prompt return for autumn/winter. As far as the fashion rules go, utility jackets are always a fool-proof win with ditsy floral midis or full-length flared jeans, while belted jackets of the leather variety are ideal with a shorter, kick-flare bottom.
Dynasty take-over
The Eighties' power shoulder is still riding the wave of its renaissance, particularly for autumn. Pair yours with some Levi 501s or a slinky slip dress and trainers for the ultimate day-time look.
The quench of a trench
It's the jacket which belligerently refuses to ever go out of style. J.W. Anderson's take on the humble trench became a viral sensation and swamped our Insta feeds after its debut back in February. Style yours with jeans, kitten heels and a fitted knit.
