Now it's September which means fall is already here. Although heat waves are still raging throughout different countries, preparing a chic layering piece in advance is a must for anyone in case of a sudden drop in temperature. If you are tired of the classic trench coat and eager to get new styles, below are the different kinds of coat options that will make a big difference on your body and would be worth every penny.

1. The Denim Jacket: Your Forever Ride-or-Die

Honestly, if you don't have a blue denim jacket yet, what are you waiting for? It’s more than just a piece of clothing; it's a statement of effortless cool. But the vibe has totally shifted since we last talked.

Throw it over your favorite floral maxi dress—it's still the ultimate feminine-meets-tough look. For a "denim on denim" moment, forget trying to match. Mix a light jacket with dark jeans, or pair a black one with your classic blue denim. It’s a little rebellious, a little unexpected, and a whole lot of stylish. It's a look that shows you know the rules, but you're here to break them.

Alternatively, if you aim to create a laid back effect, a t-shirt (dress) is appropriate.

For those who want to make your jean jacket stand out, try denim on denim—the same fabric looks coordinated with each other and also keeps the whole looks more sophisticated and polished.

 2. The Knitted Cardigan: Not Just for Grandma Anymore

Obviously, the cardigan is perfect for the in-between season and can be transformed into different styles. Worn with jeans, it can work perfectly in every casual occasion while worn with a dress, it would unconsciously showcase your elegance and romance, which is quite good for a date or a girl's talk.

Plus, you can add a unique spin to your look by opting for a tie front cardigan. The belt is an easy way to raise your waistline and balance your silhouette. Try a casual t-shirt or vest underneath and pair with slim-fit jeans would keep your look cleaning and streamlined. 

3. The Leather Jacket: The Ultimate Confidence Booster

The classic moto jacket will always be a hero piece, but I'm so into the new shapes showing up. The leather bomber and racer jackets have a softer, more relaxed silhouette that feels cool without being too harsh. And a tailored leather blazer? It's just a game-changer for looking sharp and in charge.

Try a moto jacket and 90s mom jeans for a chic yet smart street style look. You can simply wear boots/ mules to bring extra edginess. 

You can't go wrong with a black-on-black outfit. It’s a classic for a reason—it’s powerful and timeless. But if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, try a deep brown or even a rich burgundy leather jacket with some neutrals. It’s a subtle way to show your personality and step outside the box.

For those who want to try something new, switch out your black jackets for a bright one. The hue looks naturally with any bold outfit and the pop of colors make it even more unique and vibrant. 

4. The Oversized Blazer: The New Power Suit

The great thing to wear an oversized blazer / boyfriend blazer is that it can perfectly modify different kinds of figure problems and also effective to camouflage the fats. In addition, whether you are looking for something casual or something formal, it can do the trick. 

The latest twist is all about playing with proportions. The blazer is big and relaxed, but you can add a belt to really define your waist. And if you’re looking to make a statement, try a blazer in a bold pattern like plaid or houndstooth. It shows you're not afraid to take up space.

Style it with bermuda shorts and heels for a street style-powerful look. 

Or make your blazer stand out by opting for the bright tones, such as red, yellow, orange, etc. And team up with other neutrals for a more coordinated look. 

Give your blazer a sophisticated spin with a vintage dress or skirt and a pair of heels. 

To make it office-appropriate, style the oversized staple with matching trousers and cinch your waist with a belt to get some shape.

 5. Short Trench Coat 

I always appreciate the short trench coat since it allows for so many styling options—you can mix and match with straight-leg jeans, a romantic midi dress, or layer over dressy shirt-tapered pants look that means business. Here are some outfit inspo.
