When you need a jacket, choose one that will complement your style—not just cover it up. Whether the forecast calls for spring showers, autumn winds, or something in between, these are our picks for the best jackets for women.

Not-Too-Sporty Windbreaker

Versatile and stylish, a good windbreaker doesn’t have to look like you’re about to run a track workout. Find one with just enough weight to keep you warm, but light enough to flatter the body. This women’s lightweight jacket comes in a fresh, light blue with a hood and brass details for interest.

Brightly Colored Trench

Stay warm and dry in a classic trench coat. The belted waist keeps the look trim and tailored, and you can add a pop of color to your rainy day with a trench in a fun, bright color. You can also look for a trench coat with a belt in a contrasting color for a more subtle pop.

Denim Jacket

It’s hard to go wrong with a classic denim jacket. Whether you stick with tried and true blue or a flashier tie-dyed or floral version, be sure to choose a soft, lightweight denim for comfort and wearability.

Bomber Jacket

The zip-up bomber jacket ranks right up there with the denim jacket for classic style. Typically available in a wide range of colors, don’t be afraid of a fun floral or gingham pattern to brighten the look even more.

Duster

Definitely, one of the best jackets for women, adding the long, flowing layer of a duster heightens the style of even the simplest outfit. Wear it over a t-shirt and jeans for just the right touch of warmth and flair.

Drawstring Anorak

Often hooded and waterproof, the drawstring anorak cinches at the waist to add shape and a more tailored silhouette. No bulky raincoats here.

Remember: the best jackets for women are the jackets that look and feel like they’re part of your style. When transitional temps demand a shift from cold to warm and back again, you’ll be glad your wardrobe has a few of these jackets at the ready!
