Not so long ago, a jacket was perceived only as comfortable clothing: practical, able to protect from the weather, but not as beautiful and elegant as a raincoat, coat or fur coat. Today, the situation has changed radically: now a jacket is not only comfortable, but also a very stylish thing, which is in the wardrobe of every girl who wants to be in line with fashion trends.
This article is about jackets that are especially popular this season.
You will learn about what styles and materials are now in trend, get acquainted with the recommendations of stylists on choosing and combining jackets with other things, and you can also appreciate the most vivid and interesting images.
Styles
We bring to your attention the most popular models of jackets, which this year most often flash on fashion catwalks and on the pages of magazines.
Jacket
Cropped, slightly fitted jackets resemble elegant jackets. Demi-season and summer models sew from light, but dense fabrics (for example, denim), or from leather.
Kosukha
A short leather jacket, which differs from the above option by the presence of an asymmetric collar and a slightly aggressive design: it is often decorated with rivets, spikes and other rock-style elements.
Bomber jacket

It is characterized by a voluminous silhouette, wide elastic bands on the hem and cuffs, and a small stand-up collar.
Parka

Thanks to the elongated silhouette, large hood and a large number of clasps, it perfectly protects from rain and wind.
Tunic

Stylized models can be decorated with epaulettes, buckles and other “military” decor.
Overseas
This definition applies not only to jackets, but also to any “dimensionless” things.
Spacious, wide jackets, as if from someone else's shoulder, perfectly emphasize the grace and fragility of the female figure.
Quilted jacket
Cozy, stitched along and across things again return to fashion, which is very pleasing, because such jackets not only look stylish, but also perfectly warm in the cold.
The secret is that they are sewn from several layers of different materials - for inclement weather, there is no better option.
Materials
This season, the variety of materials from which jackets are sewn cannot but impress. Here you will find everything: from expensive natural materials to synthetic fabrics available to everyone.
Leather
Leather jackets have remained at the peak of popularity over the past few years, because it is stylish and very practical - such jackets go well with any thing, including romantic dresses and classic shoes.
It is interesting that the appearance of leather jackets practically does not change from season to season - these are all the same models, which are a cross between a jacket and a biker jacket.
Wool
Woolen clothing is the choice of adult, serious girls. Jackets made of natural woolen fabrics warm perfectly, besides they look expensive and elegant.
We advise you to pay attention to the models of coat fabrics - drape, cashmere, tweed. It is recommended to wear them with elegant boots, leather bags and long gloves.
Polyester
Jackets made of synthetic materials are the most budget option. In addition to the low price, they still have a lot of advantages. For example, they perfectly protect from rain from the wind, are undemanding in care, and therefore quite durable.
In addition, if you choose a quality product, it will look no worse than a thing made of natural material.
Textile
Textile jackets are a great choice for dry, warm weather. This category includes raincoat fabric, jacket or denim models.
They perfectly complement the spring or summer look, especially in combination with suitable accessories in style. Despite the fact that such jackets will not protect from the weather, they are perfect for walking on a cool evening or in the early morning.
Decor
Attention to detail is a rule that designers and stylists do not retreat from. Jackets from the latest clothing collections are distinguished by a variety of decor.
A variety of decorative elements are used to make things individual, some of which are quite unexpected:

- fringe.
In addition, unusual accessories are relevant - large buttons, asymmetric zippers, original fasteners on loops, patch pockets, etc.
By season
Models for each season have their own characteristics - because a jacket should not only be a stylish wardrobe item: first of all, this is a thing designed to protect us from the vagaries of nature.
Demi-season
During the off-season, the weather is usually changeable, so ideally you should have acquired not one jacket, but at least two - for bad weather and for warm days.
Demi-season military-style models are popular - muted gray-green tones, strict or, on the contrary, baggy silhouettes, turn-down collars and metal rivets.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to quilted jackets of different styles.It is interesting that not only textile, but also leather models can be processed with a stitch.
Light on warm weather
For warm summer days, you should choose lightweight jackets that will go well with things from the summer wardrobe - light, dresses, sundresses, skirts, shorts and overalls.
In the summer season, jackets made of denim, raincoat fabric, leather and knitwear are relevant.
Sports models made of thin fabrics look interesting - translucent polyester or chiffon. These jackets can be combined with sports or casual wear, as well as with more feminine outfits.
Winter
Winter models of jackets also delight us with a variety of choices. Models for outdoor activities are bright, very warm down jackets that provide incredible freedom of movement, while at the same time protecting from frost, snow and cold wind.
More elegant models for leisurely walks or driving are trimmed with fluffy fur or leather trim.
Youth models are voluminous, puffy jackets with a synthetic winterizer or faux fur. Older girls choose flirty, feminine silhouettes with a pronounced waist and a flared skirt.
Styles
In the fashion collections of clothes, jackets are presented in a variety of styles. Some of them are a continuation of the trends of previous seasons, while others are something new and interesting.
Military
Women's clothing in a military style always looks spectacular, probably because rude things favorably emphasize girlish beauty, tenderness and fragility. In addition, things of protective color go well with many beloved jeans, leather accessories, sneakers and heavy boots.
Military style jackets can be of different styles: these are parks, windcheaters, and trench coats, as well as models stylized as overalls, tunic and frock coat.
Boho
Boho style was formed and gained fame not so long ago, but has already managed to gain a huge number of fans around the world. It is a combination of elements of various ethnic styles, eco-philosophy, vintage style and some other trends in fashion.
Boho style jackets are sewn mainly of natural materials - leather, wool, denim, cotton, etc. They are decorated with embroidery, beads, fringe, fur and leather inserts. Such jackets can be combined with knitted, "grandmother's" scarves and hats, bag-bags and antique jewelry.
90s
It is time to remember what we (or our mothers) wore in the not so distant 90s.
Gloomy, stretched things in the style of grunge, cheeky punk, jeans and bright sportswear - now all this is again relevant. Therefore, if you did not manage to enjoy the indescribable atmosphere of that time, feel free to get yourself a huge sweatshirt or a neon-colored sweatshirt.
But do not forget to dilute the image with modern things - otherwise instead of a stylish outfit you will get a fancy dress of a girl from the past.
Moto
Things in the biker style periodically go out of fashion, but come back with enviable constancy. First of all, this applies to leather jackets and pants. At the same time, the clothes do not have to be black - a leather jacket in the bright colors of some racing team looks no less stylish.
Real motorcycle jackets are quite heavy, as they have special protective inserts. Fashionable jackets in motorcycle style is a lightweight version in which the main thing is not safety, but a beautiful appearance.
Length
The length of the jacket is an important factor on which the chosen thing will be somewhat warm and comfortable.
Short
Short jackets are either lightweight summer models or winter sports options that should be worn with warm pants on suspenders. Lightweight short jackets are usually made of textile or leather. They can be worn as a jacket - on top of a top or dress.
Warm short jackets are beautiful, but not practical: in the cold season, it is better to give preference to elongated models.
Medium
Medium-length jackets are an intermediate option that is suitable for different seasons. On the one hand, they do not constrain movements, and on the other hand, they provide reliable protection from the piercing wind. Such jackets are often made in the form of a trench coat or coat.
The silhouette can be either fitted or loose. Medium-length baggy models are very popular among young people.
Long
Although long jackets are not necessarily warm, winter and fall models, such as downy coats, usually have a length below the knee. In cold climates it is a great alternative to heavy jackets and sheepskin coats.
Modern long models allow you to look in a down jacket no less stylish and elegant than in a fur coat made of natural fur.
Fashion trends
Juicy colors
Bright things give us a great mood and energize. Therefore, we advise you to pay attention to jackets fashionable this season in saturated colors - wine, turquoise, lemon yellow, coral, etc.
If you like a calmer color scheme, then look at light or dark jackets with a bright lining.
Unusual cut
Strange shapes and original silhouettes - such jackets are sure to help stand out from the crowd. Classic fitted styles begin to gradually give way to deliberately voluminous, almost shapeless models and asymmetric cut jackets.
Without collar
The undoubted trend of the new fashion season is jackets without a collar. See how chanel-style cardigans look exquisitely with a crew-neck neckline. This neckline looks equally good both on light models of leather or denim, and on insulated quilted jackets.
Waterproof models
An umbrella is a beautiful, spectacular thing, but not always convenient, because it is difficult to carry it with you constantly. Jackets with a hood made of waterproof material can be a great alternative to an umbrella.
Usually synthetic materials or natural fabrics saturated with special water-repellent do not pass water. The first type includes a membrane and polyester, and the second - raincoat fabric.
Waterproof jackets will go well with colorful rubber boots or funny galoshes.
Selection tips
- Solid colored jackets of a neutral shade are a win-win option that will be appropriate always and everywhere. However, colored jackets, as well as models with a pattern, look much more interesting. This year has not brought anything new here: floral patterns, animal print and abstract geometric ornaments are also popular.
- Perforation on the fabric is one of the most relevant decor methods today. Intricate patterns of holes adorn all types of fabrics. If you liked the “holey” jacket, be sure to update your wardrobe with it.
What to wear?
Today's fashion welcomes eclectic combinations in clothes, and this is wonderful, because the lack of strict rules allows you to create many new, original images. Sports jackets can be safely worn with dresses and skirts, leather jackets - with light sundresses and blouses.
The choice of shoes for the jacket depends only on the weather outside the window. You can combine elegant jackets and coats with colored rubber boots, and a motorcycle jacket with comfortable sneakers or graceful sandals.
