The 9 Best Fall And Winter Coats for Women

Autumn is the time of year when the temperatures start to drop and the sun goes to sleep earlier. It’s the time when you pack away your summer wardrobe and bring out your warmer fall outerwear. If you’ve opened up your closet to find that last year’s jackets are too old, out of style, or just don’t fit anymore, you have plenty of options for new, warm outerwear.


We’re sharing some great picks for new, warm fall coats to match your unique and trendy style.

What to look for in the best fall and winter jackets for women

This season, your jacket and coat options are plentiful, but not all fall jackets are the same. There are a few things to look for when choosing a good fall jacket that can take you through the season’s cold temperatures:

  • Temperature: In fall, you’ll likely want at least one warmer coat for when the temperatures drop.
  • Water-resistance: Autumn often brings rain showers, so you’ll want a fall outfit that can withstand rain, from drizzles to downpours.
  • Fit: Jackets come in oversized options (great for when you want to layer with warmer clothes underneath) and more fitted silhouettes. 
  • Hood: Many coats come with an attached or detachable hood to keep light rain off your head.  
  • Colors: You can choose a more neutral color like white, black, grey, or beige—or look for ones with more color. 

Your choice of jacket material is also important. Here’s what you need to know about wool vs cotton in outerwear.  


Here are our top 9 women’s jackets to wear this fall: 

1. Travel Jacket from Mia Melon

Whether you’re travelling across the country or across town, the new Stella Stretch Twill Travel Performance Jacket is your must-have clothing item. It’s lightweight and easily packable in a suitcase. It even features a convenient black faux leather modern purse that attaches to the inside of the jacket. Use it as a small clutch or purse for your cards, lipstick, passport, or a small phone. 


Pricing: $249 USD from Mia Melon

2. Denim Jacket from American Eagle

Every woman needs at least one denim jacket in their wardrobe. Denim’s cute and casual look is perfect for your fall wardrobe as it looks great with all the seasonal colors, including orange, brown, and burgundy. The American Eagle Patchwork Boyfriend Jacket is a stylish denim jacket choice for a casual fall day. 


This coat includes destructive and patchwork details and features chest and side pockets for your small wallet, lipstick, and other essentials. The button-up front can be worn unbuttoned for a more layered look. 


Pricing: $62.96 from ae.com 

3. Faux Fur from DH New York

Fur jackets make for Instagram-worthy photos, but genuine fur is not eco-responsible or ethical. The Eden Faux Fur Jacket from DH New York is a must-have soft and chic winter coat. The beige will look great against the season’s hottest colors and help keep you warm on cooler fall evenings. Store everything you need for a quick trip in its zippered pockets.


This cute jacket is perfect for running light errands around town, picking up the kids from school, and wearing it to an evening show at the theatre with your favorite dress. 


Pricing: $249 from Saks Fifth Avenue

4. Leather Jacket from A.L.C

Autumn and leather jackets go hand in hand. It’s a great option for cooler days in the city or while travelling. The Wellsley Oversized Faux Leather Jacket has a slouchy-fit and neutral color to match any outfit. 


It’s called a “workwear shirt-jacket” because it can be worn as a jacket on fall days and as an indoor, button-up dress shirt too. Its versatility is great for those wanting to travel light and pack outfit options that serve multiple uses. For indoor use, pair it with a neutral or seasonal colour cami or lightweight t-shirt. 


Pricing: $395 US from Nordstrom

5. Wool Hoody from Arc’teryx 

In early fall, you don’t often want an intensely warm jacket. Those seasonal transitions are a great time for the Covert Hoody jacket from Arc'teryx. It’s good for everyday wear and can be worn under a shell or outer layer for extra water protection or warmth later in the season. It’s a great choice to take on a late summer early fall hike.


Pricing: $220 from Arc’teryx

6. Modern Rain Jacket from Mia Melon

A vibrant jacket will give you the sexy confidence you need to slay your day. The new Provocateur Cotton Twill Modern Rain Jacket is the form-fitting jacket to keep you dry through the new year. It features a double zip enclosure and classic style to make you look great, even when you’re caught in a rainstorm. 


This fitted jacket is usually bought one size up, so you have room for additional clothing underneath. It’s rated for temperatures ranging from 20oF to 60oF (-6oF to 15oC), so you can wear it well into early spring.


Pricing: $229 from Mia Melon
