Some people like to think that it's what's on the inside that counts. And while this may be true of a book, a boyfriend, or a bra, it certainly isn't true of outerwear. The jacket you choose is must make an impression because for at least four months of the year it is the first (and sometimes the only) thing people see. Here's the good news: the 2023 jacket trends will ensure you'll never forget, because that's exactly what they are. Colored leathers, unique textures, patterns and prints are just some of the outerwear staples that grace the 2023 runways.
In order to choose the perfect jacket, you must first prioritize. Consider which of the following is important to you:
- Can a jacket be the main part of an outfit?
- Should the material retain warmth or be light enough to be worn indoors?
- Neutral tones or color?
Long black leather trench coat
The long black leather trench coat is about to become fashionable. The grunge jacket style was perhaps the most popular, which designers in Milan, Paris, London and New York included in their collections. Remember when everyone was buying leather jackets last year? So, this is its updated version. Now you don't have to choose between a leather blazer and a classic trench coat, because this jacket is a hybrid of both.
For a casual option, take inspiration from Versace's knee-length leather jacket - it has the same lapel as a blazer, making this style perfect for the office too. If you can't resist the drama, structured shoulders and long lines make the Saint Laurent leather trench coat the silhouette for you.
Textured item
Oversized jackets with unusual textures became the shining stars of fashion week. Bottega Veneta, Versace and Diesel are just some of the designers who brought tinsel looks to the runway. This material gives the same texture as a fur jacket without the use of real fur (or artificial). Plus, they come in so many fun colors. This is definitely the type of jacket that will turn heads and make the compliments worth the investment. And it doesn't matter what you wear underneath!
Leather jacket
The days of a black leather jacket being the centerpiece of your closet may be coming to an end as multi-colored leather jackets hit store shelves. When I talk about colorful leather, I'm not talking about the hot pink Barbicore-style plastic jacket you can find at Forever21.
No, the skin colors many are turning to this year are like the deep jewel tones created by Coach or the soft and soft pinks developed by Acne Studios. A colored leather jacket should look rich in tone and texture, just like black. You'll definitely want to wear it over turtlenecks, sweatshirts, and tops for going out all year long.
Patterned trench coat
You're probably familiar with the classic tan trench coat, which is the quintessential Parisian style—at least according to Pinterest. This year it's time to take a classic piece you love and add a patterned trench coat! It's officially Parisian-approved because French brands like Dior included it in their spring/summer 2023 shows. There's no one way to wear a patterned trench coat, from newspaper print to tie-dye, so choose a print that shows off your personality , and keep up the good work.
Bomber jacket
The jacket may be getting a makeover, but the bomber jacket is making a comeback. The aviator jacket is making a comeback in sporty style, and several different versions are leading the way. From Chloé we see a jacket with finer stitching that's perfect for a boho motorcycle ride through Malibu Canyon. Vaillant studio offers fashionistas a classic bomber jacket that will accompany you on all your travels - if pilots wear them, then so can you!
