The fall/winter 2024 season is approaching and it one of the chicest showings on the runways in recent memory. There was an overall movement towards elegance that was executed in trends ranging from swan-like ladies who lunch fashion with modern twists. Silhouettes shifted to standout shapes such as nipped-in waists and high-neck outerwear. Classic sportswear made a major comeback. Each of these overarching trends point to a sense of sophistication and a grown-up wardrobe that is reflecting how people are shopping.
These trends and themes extend across fashion as a whole as we look to fall. One way we’re seeing that take shape: the fall jacket trends taking over for fall 2024. Extra polished boxy jackets and cascading necklines are ushering in a new wave of cool elegance. Funnel neck silhouettes are a key buy. Shades of green are setting the tone for the next big color trend. But the list doesn’t end there. Ahead, more on the top jacket trends to know for fall 2024 and the key pieces to shop.

The shape of the season: funnel necks. Phoebe Philo helped set the direction for the trend with pieces launched in her eponymous collection last year and the silhouette has exploded since then.
