Ever since the checked blazer rose to Instagram fame last spring, everyone in fashion has been wondering and predicting what the next major It item of the season will be. Well, we think we've found it. Belted jackets are a low-key trend we've been seeing everywhere without even realising it. We were hesitant at first to call it a trend since the lightweight topper comes in so many different colours and styles. But we couldn't ignore it any longer—belted jackets are officially autumn's biggest outerwear trend.
Now that we've got that settled, the real reason we love the jacket as much as we do is that it looks great on everyone. No matter if you're wearing a silky robe jacket or a military-inspired canvas jacket, the style cinches your waist and gives the rest of your looks an overall polish. See the belted jacket outfits that have us convinced on the autumn trend and shop our top picks of the season below.
