Fall to winter transitional outfits, particularly "fall" jackets, are incredibly important. For one, having a staple piece that works in different seasons can save money. With the weather being unpredictable in fall, the mix of cooler and warmer days can make it hard to find the right pieces of clothing. It's good to have an autumn jacket to throw on when it turns cool. That said, some coats will work for chilly fall mornings. We feel two kinds of jackets stand out from the rest. And those are (dum dum dum) sherpas and fleeces. They're warm, cozy and these days, more stylish than ever.
Now, as if things could not get more complicated, among the different types of jackets, there are different styles of these sherpas and fleeces. It's like any outfit, the material is the material, but the style can greatly vary. And this is a good thing, because it means that the wearer (hi, mama!) can choose the look that matches her style best. We kept this in mind when we gathered a bunch of fleece and sherpa looks for that perfect staple coat.
Some of the choices are lighter than others. Some are warmer and more "fuzzy" while others have lining that is the sherpa or fleece material while the rest of the jacket is waterproof or a different material. Not all of these jackets work for rainy weather. Luckily, there are tons of options that are versatile. We have many of those styles below for the pickin'. Take a look at the coats below and pick the one (or few) that stand out. No matter the choice, rest assured the wearer will be hip and warm. There's a reason there's so popular and that is exactly it.
