8 Winter Jacket Trends to Try This Autumn/Winter

There isn’t much to celebrate about the end of summer in my opinion, but the chance to rotate the wardrobe will always spark some excitement. With a couple of months of good weather under your belt (unless you live in the UK…) and your mood sufficiently lifted, you can reminisce fondly over the cosy season with autumnal-hued spectacles firmly intact. Without too sharp a memory of the potential misery to come (dramatic, me?), one can dream about skipping through a rainbow of golden-toned leaves, autumn-themed beverage in hand, bundled in cosy yet stylish layers.

Aside from changing up your accessories, and denim and slipping back into your boots, the perfect winter jacket is a new-season must-have. And Autumn/winter 2024 sees a lot to get excited about in this department, with elevated trench coats high up on the agenda, as well as Prada making barn jackets a fashion girl must-have for the transitional season. Then there are the many luxe wool silhouettes to lust after, including those with scarf, capes, and cinched waist details. But you can see for yourself, with these 8 winter jacket trends to try for autumn/winter 2024. Plus of course, where to snap them up STAT.
