Her Campus's 20 Favorite Fall Jackets - Women Campus

The fall jacket is the finishing touch to a college girl’s outfit. It’s lighter than a winter jacket, but still keeps you warm during the chilly fall nights or on your brisk walk to class. You have the option of taking a fashion risk by going with a trendy coat, or keeping it classic with a simpler jacket. Her Campus put together a fabulous list of coats to keep you warm and chic, and here they are:

Classic Trench- The trench is a timeless trend. It can go with absolutely every outfit. You can choose from black, grey, or classic khaki.  It’s an absolute must-have.
Banana Republic, $198

Rebel Without a Cause- This Forever 21 faux leather jacket is James Dean chic. This jacket will make all the wannabe rebel boys on campus shake in their military boots. Wear this jacket with jeans and heavy boots or a funny flirty frock and flats. The studded detail separates this coat from any other leather jacket.

Remember, though, that the North Face is to keep you warm—it doesn’t go to the club.
