Autumn is right around the corner, and the change of seasons is the perfect excuse to refresh your wardrobe with a standout jacket. Byrdie recently released its 2025 fall jacket trend guide, and we were thrilled to see our founder Nguyen Tran quoted alongside other fashion experts. Below is a summary of Byrdie’s top eight jacket trends and how they connect to the Le Réussi® aesthetic.
Jackets Take Center Stage
According to stylist Jessica Sockel, outerwear is no longer just a practical layer—this season the jacket is “the outfit’s main event." Think of your coat or blazer as the star of your look and build the rest of your outfit around it.
Refined Trench Coats
Trench coats are a perennial fall favorite, but this year they’re getting a modern makeover. Sockel notes that trench coats are appearing in unexpected colors, silhouettes and materials. Nguyen loves them for their versatility: a colorful trench instantly elevates workwear, evening outfits or weekend errands, and its long length makes it the star of an ensemble while remaining functional in unpredictable fall weather. Look for classic double‑breasted styles in saturated hues or supple leathers to add to your wardrobe.
Varsity Bomber Jackets
The back‑to‑school spirit continues to inspire fashion. Byrdie credits the renewed interest in varsity bomber jackets partly to Taylor Swift’s influence. Nguyen recommends bomber jackets as a transitional piece: they’re lightweight enough for crisp mornings yet warm enough for cooler evenings. She also loves their sporty‑meets‑chic aesthetic—pair one with tailored trousers for a casual office look or toss it over a dress for street‑style edge.
Tailored Moto Jackets
The classic moto jacket has been softened with tailored shapes and unexpected fabrics. Fashion expert Maxie J highlights moto styles in satin blends or quilted leather. These jackets still carry an attitude but offer a more refined silhouette, making them appropriate for both day and night.
Barn Jackets
Western‑inspired fashion remains on trend. Instead of casual denim jackets, Sockel suggests trading up for barn jackets—structured layers with a ranch‑wear twist. Their effortless vibe instantly elevates any outfit, whether paired with jeans or thrown over a floral dress.
Suede Jackets
Suede is the texture of the season—Stitch Fix notes that suede purchases are up 35 percent year‑over‑year. Sockel calls a suede jacket “rugged yet refined,” pointing out that the material works over jeans or a dress. If you want to lean into the Western trend, choose a suede jacket with fringe for added flair.
Tailored Blazers
Maximalist tailoring is back. Oversized double‑breasted blazers with power shoulders and cinched waists are key to the season’s “big structured energy". Nguyen recommends choosing blazers with bold prints or unique textures so that the jacket becomes the highlight of your outfit. Pair with trousers for work or throw over a slip dress for evening.
Old Money Tweed Jackets
The “old money” aesthetic persists as we shift from coastal summer to Ivy‑League autumn. Tweed purchases on Stitch Fix are up 80 percent. For a scholarly vibe, choose darker hues like browns, olives, navy and black, or play with preppy pastels such as pink and white. Nguyen suggests wearing a tweed jacket with matching trousers or layered over denim for a modern twist.
Statement Jackets
This season, outerwear is meant to make a statement. Sockel explains that people crave texture, pattern and vintage‑inspired details, and that minimalism is taking a back seat. Maxie J advises selecting a jacket with quality fabric, a defined shape or hardware that feels like jewellery so that it can “carry your whole look."
