Add interest to your looks in an instant.
It's officially fall, which means jackets are very much on my mind. I've been wanting to add a few fresh styles to my arsenal, starting with the number one jacket trend of the season I've been spotting on every chic fashion person and at all our favorite retailers.
I'm talking about opulent and detailed brocade, jacquard, embroidered, and tapestry jackets. Yes, if you want to go maximalist this fall, opt for outerwear featuring heirloom textures, rich metallic finishes, delicate embroidery, and dark-romance vibes—a decadent aesthetic I saw all over the fall/winter 2026 runways , from Dior to Dries Van Noten.
The jacket trend is the perfect way to add interest to a pair of basic jeans and make a fashion statement with zero effort required.
Below, I'm sharing my favorite brocade and jacquard jackets that will make you look like an It girl this fall.
