No sunlight past 5PM have you down? The chic set know the trick to getting excited about the shift in seasons: Adding a couple of new garments to your cold-weather wardrobe is the perfect way to embrace the chilly season while also helping you stay on top of trends.

Jackets and shackets — slightly oversize shirt-jacket hybrids — are guaranteed closet staples that’ll easily earn a spot in your seasonal rotation. They’re light enough to wear on those not-yet-frigid days, but will still keep you warm as temps drop. They’re highly versatile, too, lending a chef’s kiss finish to dresses, jeans, leggings, and beyond.

To make sure your closet is fully stocked for the cold weather, keep a few classic jacket shapes and fabrications on hand: a leather jacket for some cool girl flair, a plaid button-down shacket you can wear anywhere, and a well-cut denim jacket that flatters. From there, supplement with jackets that speak to your personal style — or perhaps try something a bit outside your comfort zone and embrace the “new me” vibes it offers.

Looking for trendy jacket and shacket inspo? Target is your go-to with plenty of elevated options, none of which will break the bank.

No wardrobe is truly complete without the perfect denim jacket — and this one is pretty darn close to perfection. It’s made from a mid-weight soft fabric that’s easy to move around in, and also features Raglan sleeves which provide better range of motion. The cropped fit, lived-in trim, and wide collar also feel effortlessly cool.

This faux, cropped leather shacket will get tons of wear this season. From casual nights out with your favorites to a dressed-up dinner with bae, it offers the perfect amount of edge. The jacket features a cropped silhouette that hits right at the hips, long sleeves, and single cuffs.

Who can say no to this aesthetic? Especially when it means you’ll be that comfortable. Perfect for lounge-y days and easy errand-running, this plaid button-down shacket is made with ultra-soft fabric with added wool to keep you warm as you go about your day. You can't go wrong with the brown plaid — which matches with basically everything — but it also comes in six other colors.

Barbiecore, much? Not for the faint of heart, this truly fab faux fur jacket is right on-trend with its bright pink hue. Pair the open-front piece with a silky slip dress for a night out, or with jeans for daytime excursions.

Make a statement and infuse a little color into your world with this splashy canvas shacket, available in a green floral print, rust, vibrant purple, and yellow floral. The bold colors and playful patterns definitely make a statement and will earn you some well-deserved compliments all season.

If canvas isn’t really your thing but you still want to embrace the rainbow, try on this fluffy sherpa anorak jacket. It’s ultra-soft and available in six colors, including a vibrant mustard yellow, pink, and purple colorblock. Layer it over your everyday wear to stay warm and cozy in the cool weather.

Your search for the quintessential fall jacket is finally over. This minimalist design lends to easy outfit pairing, and the casual-but-sophisticated feel means you’ll look stylish wearing it wherever you go. The stretchy side paneling adds to the comfortable fit, as well. Choose from black, grey, and olive.

This effortless puffy jacket is the perfect everyday piece for fall outings. It’s got you covered with toasty synthetic insulation, a faux fur-lined hood, internal pockets, and an adjustable hem. You can choose from either black or white, and feel free to nix the hood depending on the weather and the look you’re going for.

Coastal grandma isn’t going anywhere. If anything, her powers have grown stronger now with fall and winter ahead. With its gorgeously colored quilt print, this jacket leans heavily into the trend, allowing you to keep on living that coastal grannie life. Plus, it’ll keep you comfy via the soft cotton-blend fabric and sash design that’s perfect for layering.

Whether you’re rolling into barre, going for a run, or simply want to sport that athleisure look, consider adding this Polartec Fleece Jacket to your cold weather lineup. Though super lightweight, it’ll keep you warm — plus it zips up to create a high neckline for those extra chilly days. The zippered side pockets are a major bonus, too.
