Stay warm on cool autumn days with these fashion-forward jackets and coats. Instead of being an afterthought to keep you warm, these fall jackets will be statement-makers that you’ll plan outfits around all season long. But more than being stylish, each of these picks was chosen with fall's unpredictable weather in mind: While some fall days may require a light jacket, others will send you running back inside for something a little more substantial. We've rounded up a variety of fall jacket styles suited for front porch happy hours, backwoods adventures, and even virtual work meetings.
