If you know me, you know how much I love a good blazer. Whether I’m throwing one over tailored trousers for the office, styling it with lived-in denim for weekend errands, or wearing it as a top with shorts for dinner with friends, a well-cut blazer never fails to make me feel pulled together. And now that cooler temps have (finally) arrived, the best fall blazers pull double duty as the perfect layering piece that adds both warmth and style to any look.
This season’s selection of blazers does not disappoint. Want to know which have earned a permanent spot in my fall rotation? Read on for my curated list of the season’s 10 best fall blazers.

The 5 Best Fall Blazers in My Current Rotation
The cut, the color, and the weight of the ANINE BING Quinn Blazer make this piece my top pick for the best fall blazers. It had a permanent spot at the top of my fall fashion wishlist for months before I finally made it mine, and trust me when I say it is 100% worth the splurge. It’s perfectly oversized (I’m wearing the size medium but could have done a small), but is still light enough to wear over t-shirts and sweaters alike. The green khaki color suits my skin tone well, but it also comes in black, taupe, and a few patterns. This blazer will be in my wardrobe forever, and I’ve already styled it with everything from boxer shorts to heels.
If you’re not quite ready to invest in an oversized blazer, the Wild Fable™ blazer from Target is an ideal affordable option—and you won’t even be skimping on style. I’m wearing the size small and this jacket looks great with everything from a white tee to that blazer-no-pants look I love. If the oversized look isn’t your thing, I’ve found that this blazer looks super chic cinched at the waist with a black belt. It’s also a super light fabric, so while this is definitely one of the best fall blazers, it’s undoubtedly a year-round staple.
The Bellmere Jacket takes the cake for lapelless blazers because it can be styled so many different ways. I originally fell in love with the jacket styled as a set with its matching skirt and a turtleneck, but I’ve found myself wearing it as a top with nothing underneath, and it’s the cutest fall fit. I purchased the size small for a slimmer look. The warm camel color pairs well with denim and winter whites, the wool blend is not at all itchy, and the split detail after the buttons has a super flattering effect. And because it can be worn as a jacket and a top, it’s basically a 2-for-1! A no brainer for fall fashion.
I’ve been eying the Helsa S Curve Jacket since the first time it dropped, and my willpower officially collapsed this fall when I made the purchase. From the second I pulled it out of the box and tried it on, I knew I made the right decision. I’m wearing a size small and my waist has never looked so snatched in a jacket. The dramatic shoulder coupled with the hourglass shape is most definitely a conversation starter. I’m planning on styling this blazer with mini shorts and black tights for the holidays, but will be living in it paired with simple blue jeans until then. I’ve been into warm winter whites for fall, but it also comes in black and houndstooth (which I’m actively trying to convince myself I don’t also need now!).
I first saw this Aritzia blazer on my boss, who also happens to be one of the most fashionable people I know, and I immediately added it to cart and checked out. While I’m typically an oversized girl, the tailored look is on trend for Fall 2024 and this purchase perfectly rounded out my collection of the best fall blazers. Though not quite as dramatic in shape, this is also a similar, more affordable alternative to the Helsa S Curve Blazer. While the color I’m wearing is currently sold out, I’m in the size 4 and eyeing the olive, cocoa, and plaid versions next.
