First Call for Fall: Coats and Jackets
As we get into August, it’s time to take a look at fall clothes. Though we may not be experiencing anything other than scorching hot temperatures, my mind is already steering toward my fall closet cleanse. Each fall, I turn over my closet from summer to fall and winter clothing. This means examining my summer clothes and keeping, tossing or donating accordingly, as I make way for fall. In turn, as I move my fall and winter clothes forward, I go through the same exercise, and inevitably I end up in need of updating certain items for fall and winter. So today, it’s the First Call for Fall: Coats and Jackets.
The Summary
Today we are looking at fall coats and jackets

First Call for Fall: Coats and Jackets
Blazer
First on my list is a blazer. Blazers are one of my most worn items in fall and winter. And jeans with a blazer is one of my favorite cool-weather combinations. It’s an easy go-to when I want to put together a chic outfit that I am confident will always work.

Quilted Coat
It hardly gets cold enough here in Athens for anything heavier than a quilted coat. So I like to have one in my closet for especially chilly days.
Recreate the Look
Cardigan Coat
Cardigan coats are often the perfect piece of outerwear for our mild fall and winter temps. Since gaining popularity several years ago, they come in all kinds of styles; long, short and medium lengths; blazer and coat styles.
Statement Coat
Mostly, statement coats are those with bold prints or bright colors (sometimes both!). I love a bold statement coat and this year bright colors (especially hot pink) are trending.
Utility Jacket
A utility jacket is great for three seasons, it really provides bang for your buck! They go great with denim and casual dresses. In a lot of ways, they’re a great alternative to a denim jacket.

Leather Moto Jacket
A leather moto jacket is classic, which makes it a great investment piece. This classic jacket will never go out of style and it works perfectly dressed up or down.

Have never gotten onboard with you leather moto jacket but I know it’s a favorite of yours. Absolutely love all your other choices. It’s getting me eager for fall to arrive!
Blazers are my favorite way to dress up the jeans that I wear almost every day to work–am a preschool teacher. It’s a comfortable outfit but still looks professional. Great outfits!
I love all of your pieces – in fact, I own most of them. I am an organized person and I just wrote down my fall wardrobe, and items I need to purchase. Yesterday I bought a new pair of dark wash jeans at Talbots to add to my collection. We are planning a fall driving trip and as I was deciding what to pack I had to laugh. A few of my items – sweaters, quilted barn jacket in red, white utility jacket, and a moto jacket are all very old – at least 15 years old. It pays to purchase quality and classic items.
