There are so many different ways you can spend your hard-earned money on fall and winter outerwear. You can choose to invest in pricey, professional blazers for the office or head to your nearest thrift store and find a beat-up leather jacket for your next concert. If you’re bracing yourself for snowy weather, you’ll be looking for technical fabrics built for warmth, while Southern Californians like me know better than to spend a ton of money on bulky layers. However, if none of these things resonate and you simply want to be ahead of the season’s biggest trends, you’ve come to the right place.
Sometimes, I just want to buy something cool and current. I want to look like I’m in the know and aware of the fashion industry’s most popular trends. Right now, I’m here to tell you that band jackets fit these criteria perfectly. I’ve been spotting them at Mango, Zara, and H&M, as well as luxury brands such as Etro, Khaite, and Nili Lotan.
