Paris Fall Jackets: Trenchcoats, Blazers, & More

I’ve been in Paris the last few days, taking in the sights (and style!), and doing some research for next year’s Paris Fashion Tour. The weather has been mild, with cool fall days, some clouds, and almost no rain. I’ll share more fall style notes from Paris soon, but the jackets have really caught my eye — from classic trenches to suede bombers. Here’s a quick roundup of the styles I’ve been spotting.

Trenches: Cropped and Full-Length

By far, trench coats & jackets are the styles I’ve clocked most often — cropped, knee-length and full-length, in both single- and double-breasted versions. The fit is a bit relaxed, and I’m seeing them most often worn open (though that may be a function of the mild weather). I spotted trenches frequently paired with relaxed trousers or jeans, and sneakers or flats — easy combinations for a day of walking. Tan, khaki, beige, and olive are the most common colors, though I also noticed navy, black, and the occasional red.

Blazers

Most blazers I spotted had a relaxed fit without being oversized, often in small-scale plaid or houndstooth, or a textured fabric. They add a polished finish to casual looks that often include jeans.

Leather & Suede Jackets

Short suede and lightweight leather jackets, often in chore or bomber styles, are also a popular choice. I’m seeing far fewer fitted moto-style jackets than a few years ago; most cuts are now more relaxed.

Lightweight Wool Jackets

I spied a few styles of double-faced wool jackets in varying lengths, from cropped to knee length, and the effect was always elegant.

Casual and Sporty Jackets

I wasn’t quick enough to capture these in situ, but did see several women wearing variations of these jacket styles.

Quilted Jackets & Compact Puffers

A little insulation helps on chilly fall mornings and I’ve spotted loads of lightweight and non-bulky quilted and puffer jackets. Most are hip length or a little longer.

Funnel-Neck Jackets

I’ve seen quite a few jackets similar to the one on the left, mostly on younger women or with more casual outfits. And while you don’t see a lot of athleisure here, I have noticed more sporty styles like the one on the right worn on the streets.

And I’ve seen a fair number of barn jackets too!

I’ll have lots more Paris style observations to come! In the meantime, I’ve gathered up some jackets that would be right at home this fall in Paris. Shop my Paris-Inspired fall jacket roundup.
