Today I’m sharing my favorite fall jackets for 2020, with affordable options for college women.

With the dog days of summer over, it’s time to start re-incorporating some cute fall layers into our outfits. I love being able to throw on a nice jacket – it always completes my look and makes my clothes seem more interesting. A light jacket is a college wardrobe must-have, after all!

Since dressing warm isn’t too much of a concern, we don’t have to break out the cute winter coats quite yet. Here are my favorite light and stylish fall jackets for 2020.

Unique Jean Jacket

Get it here!

While the classic denim jacket can feel a bit played out after a while, I just can’t seem to get enough denim in my outfits!

A fun way to incorporate denim into your look is to find a denim jacket with unique structure and character.

This jacket is a zip up bomber-style jacket, which I love because it gives a completely different structure to the outfit, and is perfect for pairing with a flowy dress.

Stay on the lookout for denim jackets with fun details such as studs or sparkles, puffy sleeves, distressed denim, or a zipper. That way, your outfit can be unique and next-level.

Classic Flannel

Is it even fall without the standby flannel?

This year, flannels are even more of an essential for me as I’ll be staying in for classes or exploring outside. They’re super helpful for styling outfits, and can be worn with anything from cozy sweatpants to a cute dress!

I love L.L. Bean’s trusty flannels from both their men’s and women’s sections. Try getting a men’s flannel for a cute, oversized look!
