It's officially autumn, and therefore time to bring our jackets out of their dustbags and into the spotlight. If you're looking to elevate your selection this season, there's one style that belongs in everyone’s rotation: the peacoat, a timeless silhouette and a strong fall staple. The short, double-breasted jacket is the perfect way to elevate an everyday outfit, yet won’t feel out of place when transitioning from day to night. Peacoats were all over the runway this season with standouts being presented at Bottega Venetta, Dior, and Miu Miu, meaning that they are going to be everywhere this fall, but really a peacoat purchase is one that will provide you with a lifetime of looks. At L'OFFICIEL, we've rounded up our favorite peacoats to add to your wardrobe as the temperature drops.

Starting strong with the Batavia Wool Coat from Gucci, the perfect day-to-night peacoat for fall. Made from black Batavia wool and complete with shiny logo buttons, this jacket feels modern while maintaining the timelessness of the peacoat style. We love the way the coat was styled over a micro-mini on the runway for Fall/Winter 2024, proving more fashionable than functional. We also love to pair jackets with micro shorts and skirts for a night out, and the peacoat style is the perfect pick for that look.

This oversized peacoat made in certified wool from Saint Laurent is perfect for layering this fall season. The jacket has all the elements of a classic peacoat but is perfectly oversized to give it a beautifully boxy look. Whether draping this coat over your shoulders to complete an outfit or wearing it to run errands on a cold autumn day, it is the perfect finish to a chic look. Another element of this coat that stands out is the adjustable collar that transforms into a turtleneck with two simple buttons, proving that this jacket can withstand any weather.

This peacoat from COS is perfect for a relaxed look while remaining universally flattering. Made from a double-faced wool blend with an alpaca lining, we love the Mole color as a chic alternative to a classic black coat. The long shawl collar and the low buttons give this jacket an effortless feel. This jacket can be layered over anything from a light button-down to a thick sweater, making it a versatile addition to your closet.

The Michael Kors Bonded Wool Blend Gabardine Peacoat in Suntan is another great jacket for those who are looking to limit the amount of black in their rotation this fall. We love the combination of the short hemline with the oversized lapels, as it is made to be flattering but not overly feminine at the same time. There is no shortage of buttons on this jacket, giving it a put-together feel that makes it perfect for day-to-night wear.

Mango's Double-Breasted Wool Coat, with its longer length, is the perfect way to add a bit of drama to an everyday outfit. This is another jacket sporting an adjustable turtleneck collar, making it a great transitional piece into the darkest days of winter. The jacket cinches as the waist with a belt but can also be worn open to showcase a fun fall outfit before it's too freezing out. With a more affordable price point compared to our other picks, this is a great peacoat for those not looking to splurge on jackets this fall.

The Celine Victorine Coat in double-faced cashmere is the quintessential peacoat style you may find yourself reaching for every year as the cold weather encroaches. Made from 100% cashmere, this luxurious coat is absolutely beautiful. The shirt collar gives it a feminine, almost girly appeal, and the shoulder pads give this coat a lovely structure. The cashmere coat is incredibly chic paired over a mini dress or skirt, (as shown on the runway) but we also like the jacket for daytime wear to dress up a pair of straight leg jeans.

It is not often that we see the supposedly functional peacoat cropped so high, but Miu Miu has made it happen. This cropped peacoat will have you looking fresh off the runway at whatever event you may find yourself at this fall. The brown color is perfect for layering with warm fall tones for those who want to push boundaries in their wardrobes this season. The jacket paired with the matching pencil skirt gives off the office siren look, which is popular among "it girls" leaving the office for a night on the town.

At under $200, this Banana Republic peacoat is the most chic yet cost-friendly pick on our list. This double-breasted peacoat will automatically uplevel any fall outfit without being overpowering. This peacoat is great for office wear, and its versatility may have you reaching for it frequently for years to come.
