In the Israeli autumn, the days are still pleasant as the sun warms slowly, but mornings and evenings already feel different. And then comes the moment when you realize you need something. Not a heavy coat, not a thick sweater, but a light jacket that does the job. The question is, which one.
This season offers options for every style. There is the short trench-style coat – the classic that comes in exactly the right length, one that protects from the wind without overpowering the entire look. We have seen it everywhere, from Prada to Zara, sometimes in a straight cut and sometimes wider with a cape-like appearance.
Those who love softness will connect with suede jackets, the ultimate material for autumn, looking great in every cut, from tailored jackets to relaxed denim-style models. It lays nicely, feels pleasant on the skin, and its reddish-brown tone simply works with all autumn colors. Bonus: The more the suede ages, the better it looks. So if you have pieces from previous seasons, don’t skip them.
One of the season’s hottest items is the short, relaxed jacket in a boxy cut. Abroad, it is known as a barn jacket – because it is designed inspired by American farms, with large pockets and a practical look. It did indeed start as a workwear item for farmers, but today it is the fashion star of the transitional season. Comfortable, unrestrictive, and effortlessly casual. Pair it with straight-cut jeans or a midi skirt, and you have a perfect look.
Those who love minimalism will certainly connect with jackets featuring a high-standing collar. These pieces are sporty yet sophisticated, perfect with wide pants. The sporty-elegant look was everywhere during fashion weeks in Europe, and now it is here with us.
If you are looking for a piece with character, the short leather jacket is back, and in a big way. Exaggerated cuts, with padding, sometimes with wide sleeves that add volume. True, it is heavy and dramatic, so it’s best to balance it with a simple tee and a wide skirt, or with black tights for a strong look.
This season, there are no rules. You can go for the classic look, choose a decorated or colorful piece, or even pull out the jacket that is already in your closet. Because in the end, the best jacket is the one that makes you feel comfortable, just like the transitional season itself. And as we already know, the jacket will be our bestie even in winter.
