Here Are the Best Fall Jackets for Women 50+ in 2024

Let’s talk fall 2024 styles of jackets for women. As far as this fall wardrobe staple is concerned, 2024 is set to be the year of cropped jackets, or jackets that end at or just above the waistline.

Cropped jackets are a great addition to any outfit, adding warmth and visual appeal.

If you’ve ever heard of the rule of thirds, which says that you should divide your outfit into 1/3 for the top part and 2/3 for the bottom part to create visual interest, you’ll know that cropped jackets are a perfect way to achieve this look and create visual balance.

What’s more classic than a denim jacket? We can’t think of much!

Available in white, black, light, and dark washes, there’s the perfect denim jacket to complement every outfit. Denim is durable, adds warmth, and also adds texture to any outfit.

While it’s probably not the best choice for a more formal occasion, it lends a cool, casual element, whether worn over a dress or added to a t-shirt and jeans.

As Beth Djalali of Who What Wear notes, barn jackets are in for Fall 2024. Though they may not be a “trendy” type of fall jacket, that doesn’t make them any less popular (or appealing).

With their rustic-but-upscale look, they can be paired with a set of leather riding boots or worn to dress up jeans and sneakers. They’re also usually light-medium in fill and warmth, making them a great option for the fall season in many climates.

From quilted barn jackets to plain barn jackets; the options are autumn colors like burnt orange or olive green to classics like black and navy, this type of women’s fall jacket is truly versatile.

If barn jackets evoke a classic look, leopard print jackets evoke a trendy and contemporary look.

Looking to buck convention and try something new this autumn? Then the leopard print fall coat might be just what you are looking for.

We recommend pairing this type of outerwear piece with a solid top underneath since it is often the focal point of any outfit it’s a part of.

Comfy, cozy, and quintessentially fall, sweater jackets are fantastic outerwear pieces for when the weather starts to cool down.

Providing more structure and often, slightly more formality than the average sweatshirt or hoodie, these warm outerwear staples are still soft and comforting for days when you can’t be bothered with a stiff and scratchy windbreaker or a dressier piece like a blazer.

Available in a range of cuts and styles, there’s a perfect sweater jacket for every woman over 50, yourself included!
