Luxury-inspired styles with a high-street price tag? Zara, H&M and COS have some of the chicest minimalist jackets around. Scroll to see our nine favourites right now.
As we drift slowly into September , the hazy days, cool mornings and inclement transitional weather is making itself known. Don't know what to wear to beat the chill and avoid overheating? It can only mean one thing—t's officially time to start thinking about autumn jackets.
As it stands, there's no shortage of expensive-looking outerwear vying for our attention right now. From the elevated allure of frog-fastened styles to the utilitarian edge of the funnel-neck , this season's jacket offering is anything but boring. But where to start? Well, if you ask me, Zara , H&M and COS are pretty good places to begin.
Boasting styles that feel influenced by luxury fashion (while still maintaining that all-important high-street price tag), these stores have quietly been making standout minimalist jackets for years. And this season, they’ve surpassed themselves.
Whether it's sumptuous suede and leather worked into sleek funnel-neck styles, or smart military jackets , elevated in regal shades of blue, this season Zara , H&M and COS are pared-back dressers' dream, and I've uncovered the very best of what high-street has to offer. So what are you waiting for?
