Paris Fashion Week wrapped up a couple of weeks ago, so let's talk about what it means for your closet. You don't need ten new pieces. You need one good jacket you'll actually grab on your way out the door.

Top Coat Styles of Paris Fashion Week

The Spring 2027 show occurred from the 28th of September until the 6th of October. In a week where the outfits revolved around spring clothing, the coats managed to steal the spotlight. At Hermès, there was an oversized, balloon parka jacket in bright orange that was worn over a knit mini-dress. Chloé took on a playful outlook by designing raincoats in two different colors, cherry red and yellow. It was a color party all week.

Fall is quieter, and a lot browner.

The fall collections in stores right now took a different road. Valentino, Saint Laurent and Tom Ford went for deep, rich browns. The shearling at Valentino and Toteme looked so refined you'd swear it was fur. Fashion writers even gave the whole layering moment a name. They call it coatmaxxing. In plain terms, your coat now does most of the talking.

Best Leather jackets for Fall

Great news. These leather jackets can be easily inserted into everything mentioned above. The colors of the season (Fall Inspo) are brown and burgundy, and leather has a natural texture that designers strive for.

If you are looking for leather jackets for women, it is very easy to choose something from what is mentioned above – a leather drape collared jacket in brown or a biker leather jacket in burgundy.

What about men? A brown cafe racer or aviator leather jacket with a shearling collar will be appropriate.

Not into leather? Fair enough. A parka jacket gives you a little of that Hermès energy for a lot less money. And a cotton canvas jacket handles the milder days just fine.

Simple ways of wearing the jacket

First, pick one bold item. All the rest should be subtle. A brown jacket with a cream sweater and dark blue jeans will look good in any situation you find yourself in. Need some Parisian flair? Choose a neutral-colored jacket and put on a brightly colored scarf or purse.

Most people make mistakes when choosing fit. The shoulder seam of the jacket should lie right at the boundary between the shoulders and the jacket. Sleeves should end just below the wrists. If you are buying a leather jacket online, check out the size guide before making the color decision. A real leather jacket changes with time. Cow leather, for example, needs more time to soften down.

Fall's barely started, so there's no rush. Pick the one that feels like you. Then wear it until it's yours. Enjoy!
