The Edit: Fall Transitional Jackets

the best in every category (suede, denim, trench, leather, barn, etc)

Happy Sunday! It’s been a crazy week — anyone else feeling this? Work has been non-stop. I’ve been prepping for a bunch of meetings and an event in LA next week (I’m going for a total of 56 hours, which will be rough), and on top of that, I turn 32 on Monday (which I can’t even believe).

On the topic of transitional jackets! This one is IRO - a great sample sale find from a few years ago. Also wearing a Vince sweater (which I cannot find anywhere but here is a similar version from GAP), old Everlane trousers (similar here, a t-shirt from Aritzia and Dragon Diffusion bag.

Total transparency, I’m feeling completely braindead, so writing (amongst other things) feels incredibly daunting (bear with me on this one). Thankfully, online shopping apparently is helping heal whatever wave of burnout I’m experiencing, so I’m taking full advantage.

If there’s one topic I keep seeing everywhere, it’s jackets. I think we can all admit, the weather is weird right now — it’s still kind of hot, but also chilly — not quite warm enough to go jacket-less and not quite cold enough to break out the wool coat. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is stressing about over or underdressing, so, I thought a full edit of the best jackets, but specifically transitional jackets, out there on the internet right now would help some of you who may be feeling the same. Here we go!

DENIM: I’m not here to tell you what you should and shouldn’t have in your closet (how you dress depends on your lifestyle, where you live, and what you’re most comfortable in), but personally I’ve always loved a classic denim jacket. I find it’s a great layering piece and there are so many different styles out there now, which makes it fun to play around with.

1. Alaia Denim Jacket sz S / 2. Dries Van Noten Denim Jacket sz M / 3. KHAITE Denim Jacket sz M / 4. Burberry Brit Denim Jacket sz S / 5. Another Tomorrow Oversized Denim Jacket / 6. AGOLDE Dalton Balloon Jacket / 7. FRAME Dorothy Jacket / 8. Nili Lotan Chesney Jacket / 9. Cinq A Sept Beni Denim Jacket / 10. Still Here Townes Jacket

TRENCH: A trench coat (and a great bag) is the perfect way to elevate any outfit. There’s a reason trenches have withstood the test of time — they’re chic and easy (plus not much has changed about them over the years). Sure, you can go with the iconic Burberry trench, but there are also so many trench options available on The Real Real (Jil Sander, Dior, Tibi, Burberry) at pretty affordable price points. So if you’re looking to invest, I would start there! Otherwise, I’m also a big fan of Skall Studio and Aligne. Both have great options.

1. Courreges Short Trench / 2. The Frankie Shop Mavis Trench / 3. Tibi Trench Coat / 4. Polo Ralph Lauren Trench / 5. Favorite Daughter The Charles Trench / 6. Co Oversized Trench / 7. Nili Lotan Toussaint Trench / 8. Christian Dior Trench / 9. Toteme Trench / 10. Barbour Noelle Coat

LEATHER: There are so many different styles of leather jackets out there and they all lend themselves to different vibes. I’m really drawn to a boxy, cropped fit right now with buttons or a zipper.
