A swing-style leather jacket, this Gap pick delivers on all fronts. Casual yet elevated, timeless yet modern—it looks just as good with denim as it does layered over a dress.

Cinched-waist jackets surged in popularity last year, and they’re still topping the trend charts. This one offers the best of both worlds: wear it open for a sleek blazer effect, or tie it at the waist for a more defined, statement-making silhouette. The rich chocolate hue? Pure perfection.

Think of this as the classic trench coat’s edgier sister. Equal parts timeless and chic, the longer hem gives it enough presence to serve as an outfit all on its own.

Funnel-neck jackets are everywhere this fall, and this one strikes the perfect balance—subtle enough to avoid feeling overly trendy, but current enough to feel fresh. The front pockets and gathered detailing elevate the look, giving it an allure that far outshines its affordable price tag.

A leather blazer is one of those pieces you didn’t know you needed until you have it. It’s polished enough to wear to the office but versatile enough to throw on with jeans for dinner and drinks.

Another investment piece worth every penny, this jacket nails the oversized fit. Whether paired with a mini skirt and tights or a tee and leggings, it’s the kind of layer that only gets better with time.
