A classic leather jacket is a staple season after season — and there are so many ways to wear one. Whether you prefer a slim-fit cut or a trendy version with oversize pouf sleeves to channel the '80s, you really can't do without one.
Channel the '80s in the Topshop Blossom Faux Leather Biker Jacket ($48, originally $98).
The Madewell Women's Ultimate Leather Jacket ($498) is as classic as it gets.
The sleek design will make you fall in love with this Alexander Wang Fitted Moto Blazer With Zip Detail ($995).
This season's denim jackets are deconstructed, oversize, ripped and shredded, or just super interesting in silhouette. Whichever way you slice it, you're going to need one. Wear yours off the shoulder or balanced like a cape depending on your mood.
We have heart eyes for this printed Topshop Laser Star Print Boxy Denim Jacket ($95).
The ruffle-hem details are the focal point on the Blank NYC Situationship Denim Peplum Jacket ($108).
Go for vintage vibes in the Levi's Oversized Denim Trucker Jacket ($98).
During the Fall, one of these guys can double as a jacket when you're not wearing it with the coordinating skirt set. If you love the look of a tailored coat, choose one with lining that provides a little extra warmth too.
We love the structure of this neutral Tibi Belted Glen Check Blazer ($398, originally $595).
Throw the UO Grey Checkered Blazer ($99) over a hoodie.
The Annie Bing Plaid Blazer ($349) looks perfect over your favorite white tee.
Like it or not, millennial pink is sticking around for another season. It's one of the most popular shades to wear for Fall, so whether you choose your most striking topper in the tone or you'd rather just pick up a blazer, definitely add a hint of the color to your outerwear.
How fresh is the Blank Denim Candy Crush Suede Moto Jacket ($198)?
Try something belted with the Halogen Double Breasted Trench Coat ($120, originally $179).

Wait until you see the back of this P.E Nation The United Jacket ($200).
Make them look twice when you walk away when you're wearing the Fendi Logo Reversible Bomber Jacket ($2,890).
If you love print, this I.Am.Gia Brandy Jacket ($130) is screaming your name.
Slightly oversize in fit or with exaggerated sleeves, these happen to be the underrated jackets that are totally trendy. You can even achieve the "lampshading" look by wearing a longer style as your top with over-the-knee boots. The best thing is, these designs are functional and will protect you against nasty weather on a rainy day.
We're particularly struck by the color of the BB Dakota Flynn Anorak ($66).
The Derek Lam 10 Crosby Faux Fur Vest With Parka ($400, originally $600) makes a statement.
This Emporio Armani Silk Organza Hooded Anorak Jacket ($1,095) is so mesmerizing.
Bomber jackets are totally still in but updated with intricate finishes or unexpected textures for Fall. Create the ultimate sporty look by wearing them with track pants, or mix and match and add a feminine touch with jeans and heels.
We love the sporty look this Opening Ceremony OC Classic Varsity Jacket ($395) gives.
Who could turn down this Gucci Interlocking-G Technical Nylon Jacket ($1,400)?
You can't go wrong with this Alpha Industries MA-1 W Bomber Jacket ($150).

This Norma Kamali Double Breasted Jacket ($335) is forever fabulous.
Play with fabrics and try this traffic-stopping True Religion Metallic Leather Moto Jacket ($399).
