Real Simple's Editorial Guidelines Published on August 19, 2024 05:00PM EDT Photo: Real Simple / Marcus Millan It happens every year: the first leaf of fall sails to the ground and immediately, the urge to start dressing like Lorelai in every episode of Gilmore Girls kicks in. The only problem is that the temperatures usually remain pretty summer-like at first, even if school’s back in session and Starbucks has added pumpkin spice flavors to the menu. Our desire to embrace fall is here, but the weather hasn’t caught up yet, so the only thing to do is to invest in a transitional wardrobe, one full of lightweight jackets that work both for warm days and chillier nights. Just as comfortable, linen pieces are to summer, lightweight jackets are to those first few early months of fall. You never know what you’re going to get—could be 80 degrees, could be 40, and it could change at a moment’s notice—but with the right jacket, you’ll at least have that extra layer to add or take off.

Made from 100 percent polyester, it has all the desired look of a cozy fall jacket without packing too much warmth, which means it’s great for fall but will require a few layers underneath it if you plan on wearing it through the winter. Throw it on for a late night soccer game or keep it in the car in case the temps drop during the sunset picnic at the beach. It’s the perfect layer to keep with you on the go. AutoMet Oversized Faux Suede Leather Jacket Amazon Orig. $46 $43 at Amazon Fall is for leather jackets—faux and otherwise. This oversized style, available in both black and brown, adds instant texture, sheen, and edge to an otherwise very summer-y outfit. Pair the contrasting jacket with everything from shorts or long jeans to a summer dress or skirt. Avoogue Lightweight Raincoat Amazon Orig. $32 $31 at Amazon A customer-loved style with nearly 10,000 five-star ratings, this waterproof option can be worn as a rain jacket, wind breaker, or simply as an extra layer—even if there’s no rain or wind to speak of. It’s available in a variety of colors (including some dual-color combos and patterns, too), and you’ll love its relaxed fit and optional hood. The fact that it’s waterproof is just an added bonus as you can really throw on this extra layer at any time, for any occasion. It’ll help you fight against weather and mosquitoes, but won’t have you overheating anytime soon. Continue reading for more great lightweight jackets from Amazon, starting at $21.
