Practical, Cute, and Trendy—The Fall 2020 Jacket Trend That Just Makes Sense

Come fall, there are a lot of fall jacket trends that trickle in and out. This season, we have one in particular that has really made a statement both on the runways and off—waterproof jackets. The waterproof jackets we speak of can come in many variations, but the ones we saw trending the hardest this fall were anoraks and lightweight parkas. Besides the overall trend factor of these waterproof jackets this season, I am proud to announce that we finally have a seasonal trend that actually makes sense as it provides both practicality and well, overall cuteness.
The best part of this outerwear trend was the styling. Designers from Bottega Veneta to Petar Petrov proved that these once considered solely practical jackets are now officially one of the biggest It items to own this season and after seeing the abundant shopping assortment below, you'll quickly realize why. Including various lengths, prints, and details, the anoraks and parkas ahead are some of the absolute best waterproof jackets for fall that money can buy. Go on and scroll, you'll see.
A coat so good, of course Rihanna would be behind it.
Petar Petrov is a designer to watch this year and investing in this sleek parka is a great place to start your journey.
This collaboration is important. So take notes.
