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

  The outfits are all old, but I’ve put together similars or inspiration outfits for each

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.

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.

Inspiration Outfit

Wool & Cashmere Cardigan Coat | Marilyn Faux Leather Straight Leg Pants | Cap Toe Pump | Golden Poppy Graphic Tee | Transport Leather Bucket Bag

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.

Inspiration Outfit

Clover Green Wrap Coat | One Shoulder Ribbed Sweater | Wit & Wisdom ‘Ab’Solution High Waist Ankle Skinny Jeans | Lola Mary Jane Pump | Mini Ella Bio Tote

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.
