The Long and the Short of It: Fall Coat Trends

The leaves are changing and the days are getting shorter which means the time has come to look for the ideal transition jacket for the new season. The following is a compilation of our 8 favourite fall trends that will keep you warm and stylish for every occasion.

Indian Summer

at Buckle, Inc.

Three-quarter sleeves and medium-weight canvas are the prefect combo for warm fall days. Ease yourself into the harsh reality of weather to come by layering with long-sleeves and a chunky neck-scarf on cooler days.

Working 9 - 5

Look sharp with a punch of colour and a neatly tailored cut that spells success in the corporate jungle. Lightweight, well-cut fall jackets can also double as a suit separate with a good pair of pants or a skirt, at the office.

Back to School

at Buckle, Inc.

Cut the chill while waiting for the bus, in a down jacket with a twist. Lightweight down can be compactly stored in a school bag as the day warms, and takes shape again easily again without the wrinkles. Look for cool details like prints and belts.

Rocker Chic

at Buckle, Inc.

Zippers, snaps, buckles, and studs are the mark of the fall statement jacket. Short and boxy is the style; and rugged leathers or corduroys complete the look of the season's hottest outerwear essential.

The Weekender

at L.L.Bean, Inc.

A trip to the farmer's market or a walk at the off-leash will be comfortable and super-stylish in a vintage-inspired, down-filled, shirt-style jacket. Channel the boyfriend fashion-movement with a men's jac-shirt from LL Bean.

White Hot

at Buckle, Inc.

Forget your mother's rules - wearing white after Labour Day is en vogue and winter-savvy! Keep an eye out for a preppy little number with darling detailing like puff cuffs and accent piping.

Pretty in Plaid

From shoes to coats, store racks are rampant with plaids of all sizes and colours. Add texture and colour to your fall wardrobe with the cheerful familiarity of plaid.

Evening Allure

A metallic trench warms cool evenings with classic lines and an elegant sheen. A removable liner will extend this valuable wardrobe basic throughout the holiday season.
