If you love fall jacket trends as much as I do, this post is for you! The right jacket can make your favorite jeans and everyday outfits feel fresh again, while an outdated cut or detail can make a look feel stuck in the past. I’m sharing five jacket styles I’m retiring this season and the chic alternatives I’m reaching for instead—from a sleek brown leather jacket and high-collar windbreaker to a structured blazer and flattering cinched-waist styles. You don’t need a whole new wardrobe to update your look; a few strategic jacket swaps can make all the difference.

SHOP LOOK 1:
OUT: Moto Jackets with Lots of Hardware >>> I’m Swapping in a Bomber Jacket
Let me start by saying I’m not getting rid of all my moto jackets—I have plenty that I’m keeping! But the versions with lots of hardware feel less current to me right now. Instead, I’m wearing sleek bomber jackets, one of the biggest jacket trends this season. I love the chocolate-brown and burgundy Alice + Olivia bomber, especially its gold buttons, high collar, and buttery-soft faux leather. I styled it with a brown tube top, Frame jeans, and pointy-toe heels. I’m wearing an XS in the jacket and top and a size 24 in the jeans.
SHOP LOOK 2:
OUT: Puffer Jackets >>> I’m Wearing a Burgundy Windbreaker Bomber Instead
Puffer jackets were everywhere for the past few years (my closet included), but this fall I’m reaching for a lighter, more versatile option: the burgundy windbreaker bomber. The high collar gives it a chic feel, and the easy fabric means I can dress it up or down. I styled it with a brown top, dark jeans, pointy-toe heels, and an animal-print bag. The rich burgundy shade is even prettier in person!

OUT: Ripped Denim Jackets >>> I’m Choosing a Clean, Dark-Wash Style
A heavily ripped denim jacket can make an outfit feel dated, so I’d swap it for a darker wash without distressing. This cropped denim jacket has a hood, front ties, and chic dolman sleeves that give it a unique shape. I paired it with my favorite Aritzia Lodge pants and slim sneakers for a comfortable, travel-ready outfit. I’m wearing an XS in the jacket and pants.

OUT: Oversized Blazers >>> I’m Choosing a Structured, Fitted Blazer
An oversized blazer can overwhelm my petite silhouette and hide my shape. I prefer a structured blazer that defines my waist and gives an outfit a more intentional feel. This gray Quince blazer is wrinkle-free, comes in several colors, and works with denim for a night out or trousers for the office. I styled it with slim barrel jeans, heels, and a zebra belt. I’m wearing an XS in the blazer and a size 24 in the jeans.

SHOP LOOK 5:
OUT: Long, Oversized Jackets >>> I’m Defining My Waist or Going Cropped
A long, oversized jacket that hits below your hips can visually cut your body in half and make you instantly look shorter. I like to style cropped jackets with high-waisted denim, or a longer jacket with a defined waist. This black belted jacket gives me that perfect hourglass shape through the middle, and I paired it with jeans and leopard heels for a chic date-night outfit. I’m wearing an XS in the jacket and a size 24 in the jeans.
