This fall, blazers are getting the 1980s treatment. We're seeing an uptick in styles that feature design details like strong shoulders, defined waistlines, and baroque gold accents that nod to the era's power-suiting silhouettes. While these blazers were mostly paired with pencil skirts back then, fashion people are wearing them with miniskirts and slouchy jeans for a modern touch.

It wouldn't be fall if we weren't talking about leather jackets. This season, oversize motos are continuing to reign, with an emphasis on racing jackets with notched collars and rounded shoulders. During Copenhagen Fashion Week this month, showgoers wore the style en masse, cementing it as a key item for fall '23.

We reach for our classic trench coats at the first signs of fall, and this season will be no different. The staple is taking its position once again as the wardrobe workhorse we know it as. Only this time, there's an emphasis on oversize shapes and floor-sweeping lengths that create one chic blanket over just about any outfit.

Yep, we're all still in our era of dressing "rich." The piece that's defining the luxurious aesthetic is none other than a bouclé jacket. With its textured fabric and beautiful gold button details, it's near impossible to not look polished in one of these structured styles, whether you wear one with jeans and ballet flats or over a billowy dress.

Bomber jackets are another trend that's sticking around for fall '23. The defining details this season are all about big pockets for a utility feel.

Warm, buttery suede just feels right for fall. In its S/S '23 collection, Ferragamo showed a cropped jacket and matching pencil skirt in the supple fabric, igniting our obsession with it for good.

While denim jackets are more of a seasonless staple than anything else, the classic trucker shape is yet again on the menu for fall. Whether you wear one in an all-denim ensemble or elevate it with a sleek maxi skirt, this is your cue to invest in one or pull yours out of your closet.
