I'm sure you've read on the internet that once fall hits, you can really start dressing. (As a summer girl, I disagree, but I get the sentiment.) Outfits during this season hit harder for many people because of all the amazing outerwear you can wear and strategically layer with. Dramatic long coats can turn a simple look into a full-on statement, and when your bold knit sweater peeks through a chic peacoat, it's never not a powerful combo. Plus, depending on the length, your favorite outerwear can double as a dress—no outfit ideating required.

Though they can take up precious real estate in your closet, warm top layers are needed when the temperatures drop. Fortunately, the options at Other Stories will not only keep you comfortable in the elements but also ensure that you look super sophisticated. Gotta have both form and function, right? I spent the day scrolling through the brand's outerwear section to serve you up some of the best styles, ranging from trenches and wool coats to cropped jackets and elevated capes. Once it really gets cold outside, you'll be thanking me for alerting you to all these styles. Complete your fall and winter ensembles with any of these jackets and coats from Other Stories that hit on every 2024 trend.

After finally getting an internship at Town Country in 2015, she moved to New York City and continued to get her footing in the industry with stints at Cosmopolitan, W magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and Moda Operandi. In 2017, she returned to Cosmo full time, starting off as the beauty and fashion editorial assistant and working her way to fashion editor. She contributed to both the website and print issues, pitching new ideas, forecasting trends, covering red carpet events, and informing the overall coverage and brand voice.

She's always trying to get ahead of the next big trend before it goes mainstream and loves discovering fashion brands with a unique point of view (Chopova Lowena, Sandy Liang, and Bode being some of her current favorites). She also spends an unhealthy amount of time online shopping for the perfect piece, and now that she's in L.A., she's rediscovering her soft spot for malls. On the weekends, you can find her walking around the Silver Lake Reservoir, trying to catch up on her tan at Venice Beach, and probably ordering a Chinese chicken salad at Joan's on Third.
