Autumn is here, and so is your complete guide to buying the perfect piece for your wardrobe (or two, or three – you can never have enough coats and jackets!) A jacket is essential for those couple of transitioning weeks, where it’s a little too warm still for a thick jacket, but we still need an extra layer on to combat those September winds. Let’s take a look at some lighter jacket styles:
1. Mac
This was a huge hit in S/S and is most definitely going to continue into A/W with the same love! Lightweight, but also protective from those unexpected rain showers. Shop our mac in the ever-returning popular shade of khaki green.
2. Bomber Jacket
This has entered the trends of the fashion world once again and its versatility is what makes it so popular! For autumn especially, why not dip into the denim trend and go for a denim bomber or opt for a classic black utility style. These bomber jackets are perfect to pair with your jeans, leggings or even a flare – don’t be afraid to toughen up an outfit with one of these jackers. And did we mention, they’re the perfect transitional thickness!
3. Trench
A trench coat = a timeless classic! We will never stop talking about how perfect these coats are for each and every season. Year on year, these lightweight but buildable jackets return back to the catwalk, and in turn back to your wardrobe! Got a cosy casual sweatshirt outfit on? Add a trench on top to mix that athletic vibe with a dressier outer layer. Or stick with the same style and add your trench on top of a shirt and pair of jeans. Grab your Burberry dupe now – don’t be afraid to try a block colour, just like our sage green trench.
4. Gilet
Last year these were super popular! And they’re back again – so those of you who have them tucked away, make sure to return them to your wardrobe. Perfect to chuck on top of a tracksuit, or pair with some jeans and a hoodie; they are definitely an autumn essential, long length or short!
When it hits late October/ November time, we most definitely need to level up in terms of thickness! Let’s take a look at some cosier options for the colder months.
5. Puffer Coat
You can never go wrong with a puffer jacket - they’re waterproof, warm and most importantly stylish! We love a pop of colour at Unscripted, so our puffer collection showcases a few of the brighter shades, amongst your classic darks and neutrals. Don’t be afraid to grab an eye-catching coat that’s a little different from the rest.
6. Duvet Coat
The ultimate piece to keep you warm from head to toe – the duvet coat is a must! Why not go for a duvet coat with a belt detailing, to sinch in the waistline in order to add another element of texture as well as practicality. Top tip: pair one with a pair of our ugg-style boots for a classic cosy number.
