Trend: Statement Jackets

They were extravagant, light-reflecting, and color saturated. The upcoming season’s range of outerwear is not for the faint of heart.

Brands like Balmain, Wunderkind, and Burberry Prorsum all showcased the best of the best when it came to decadent outerwear.

Balmain has always been the reigning king of show-stopping separates, and this upcoming season, jackets are the number one indulgence.

Influences from the royal courts of the past can be found in the collection of jackets, which range from a metallic gold tuxedo blazer to a long-fitted brocade coat in the regal hues of green and plum.

Overall, the style was rock royalty with substance, and this is the aesthetic you should stick to when choosing a new fall jacket.

Wunkerkind experimented with fantasy and color with its latest collection of jackets that popped in hues of cotton candy pink and hot siren red. The juxtaposition of these playful colors with the military and Native American-influenced shapes and details, such as fringe and tough leather buckles, made for an out-of-this world effect.

When wearing a jacket that has a life of its own in terms of style, design, print, and fabric, keep the rest of your outfit simple and clean. Just a pair of jeans and a chic blouse will do.
