The Best Fall Jackets on Amazon to Buy Before the Chill Hits

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Fall means tucking away your shorts and sandals and trading them in for a jacket. Temperatures are dropping, brisk air is starting to breeze in, and the season is all about layers—I, for one, have been ready and waiting to walk the streets in a spiffy topper that will cover the rolls I collected over the past year and a half. That’s the charm of the best jackets: They’ll protect you from chill, while also allowing you to exercise a fashion flex.

I already have a number of great options in my wardrobe, but because of my aforementioned rolls, I need to go up a size or two. And here to help me with my self esteem—and maybe yours, too—is Amazon. Needless to say, the Everything Store is filled to the brim. From bombers to field jackets to windbreakers, the retailer is certainly not lacking. If anything, there are far too many options to sort through. So, to help you achieve your own fashion flex, I sifted the best of the best on the behemoth site. Check them out below, and cop the ones that fit your style.

Coaches Jacket

A shacket may just be the most versatile item you can keep in your wardrobe, and this stone-colored one looks way more upscale than its price tag.
