The fall/winter 2024 season is here, and it's one of the chicest seasons in recent memory. A movement toward elegance is being executed in trends in a swan-like, "ladies who lunch" fashion with modern twists. Silhouettes are shifting to standout shapes, such as nipped-in blazers and high-neck outerwear. Classic sportswear, which made a major comeback on the F/W 24 runways, is also prominent. Each of these overarching trends points to a sense of sophistication and a "grown-up" wardrobe that fashion people everywhere are sporting.
These themes extend across fashion as a whole as we look to fall. One way we're seeing that take shape? The fall jacket trends that'll be everywhere for the remainder of 2024. Extra-polished boxy jackets and cascading necklines are ushering in a new wave of cool elegance. Funnel-neck silhouettes are a key buy. Shades of green are setting the tone for the next big color trend. But the list doesn't end there. Ahead, find out more on the top jacket trends to know for fall 2024 and the key pieces to look for.
The silhouette of the fall season is funnel necks. Phoebe Philo helped set the direction for the trend with pieces launched in her eponymous collection last year.
We have seen the rise of polished jackets in the last several years, but designers have doubled down on them for fall. Altuzarra showcased classic bouclé versions, while Chanel introduced styles constructed from leather and shearling.
While red and burgundy were the colors that defined fashion in the first half of 2024, shades of green are set to take over in the second half of the year.
The theme of sophistication continues in the form of jackets designed with cascading necklines. At Carven, Bottega Veneta, and Chanel, we saw outerwear finished with sweeping folded collars that impact other-era elegance.
On the runways, furry pieces were back in a notable way as designers integrated faux fur and upcycled fur into outerwear. The jacket worn by Gigi Hadid on the Miu Miu runway in Milan is sure to be an in-demand piece this season and will inspire countless fall looks.
Hourglass shapes have been on the rise but really took hold on the fall/winter 2024 runways, including exaggerated shapes in collections such as Jil Sander.
Brands including Bottega Veneta and Hermès added an unexpected luxe twist to outerwear with leather collars. The detail is subtle yet impactful.
While peacoats are traditionally nautical-inspired pieces originally worn by sailors, designers reimagined the classic piece—including Miuccia Prada, who showcased versions on both the Prada and Miu Miu runways.
A decade back, motorcycle jackets were essential in every fashion person's closet, but they've been on the decline in the past few years. Their comeback is imminent now, though, since they were so dominant on the fall/winter 2024 runways—albeit in the form of funnel-neck versions at Burberry and slim-fitting styles at Prada.
