The temps are slipping below 60°, and I have a baked apple cider doughnut in my hand, which can only mean one thing—it's officially jacket season. These are the blissfully cozy few months where I get to enjoy luxuriating in something a little more lightweight before the big puffers and parkas come into play, so you'd be right in thinking I'm choosing my jackets wisely this season. I've been searching high and low at all our favorite brands and retailers for some of the coolest toppers that hit on this season's biggest jacket trends. Since I'm on a budget this year, I challenged myself to keep my picks under $150.
If you're looking for the perfect jacket right now, take a peek below as I share some of fall's biggest jacket trends for under $150, from '80s silhouettes to shearling-lined toppers.
