      The leaves are beginning to change color and there’s a brisk chill in the air. Fall is in full swing, and though it isn’t frigid out yet, it’s only going to get colder. Instead of defaulting back to your UMass hoodie, check out my 10 favorite jackets for fall! (P.S: they’re all under $100!)

1.)  Forever 21: Contrast Modern Moto Jacket $32.80


The shape and zippers make this jacket edgy. Wear this with distressed denim and black booties for an effortlessly cool look.

2.) Forever 21: Leatherette Aviator Jacket $44.80

The aviator style was huge last fall and is still going strong this season. The faux fur lining gives this jacket a luxe feel and will keep you warm on your way to class.

3.) Gap: Tie Trench Coat $60.00

Every girl needs a trench coat in her closet. It looks polished, sophisticated and flattering on everyone. The price of this Gap jacket won’t break the bank; so it’s a practical and stylish investment.

4.) American Eagle Outfitters: Denim Jacket $49.50


Like the trench, the denim jacket is a staple every gal needs in her wardrobe. The more worn in, the better! Wear this with cargos or a dress and always avoid wearing blue denim on the bottom… you’ll look like you’re on your way to the rodeo.

5.) Urban Outfitters: Ecote Navajo Surplus Jacket $89.00 

A printed jacket like this one is worth the investment. It’s unique and quirky, making you stand out in a sea of maroon sweatshirts and Northfaces.

6.) Urban Outfitters: Urban Renewal Vintage French Combat Jacket $59.00


Military jackets are on trend this season and will carry over to Spring as well. I have one and am in love! Pair this coat with a white tee and jeans for a cute, casual look.

7.) Nasty Gal: Loopy Knit Coat $98.00

I love this coat! It looks so warm and comfortable, perfect for those chilly fall days. However, take caution with a bulky jacket like this. You don’t want to make yourself look bigger, so always wear streamlined pieces like skinny jeans and fitted tops.

8.) Nasty Gal: Miami Vice Blazer $88.00

This blazer is kind of wild. However, this is right on trend and can be worn year round. This would look great thrown over an LBD or black jeans for a night out; it’s a great piece to freshen up your late night wardrobe.

9.) Lulu’s: Life in the Fast Lane Taupe Vegan Leather Jacket $85.00 

I love leather, and this is a fresh take on your standard leather jacket. The olive color is versatile and can be worn with anything in your closet. Also, this is vegan leather, which feels really luxurious.

10.) Old Navy: Wool-Blend Toggle Coat $79.94

This s a great pick that will take you through the winter. The heavy-duty wool, mid length and preppy toggles makes this jacket a smart buy.
