The jackets trend for A/W 2020 once again confirm the increasing attention that designers place on outwear. In cold seasons like autumn and winter where our outfits are hidden by layers and layers of scarves and various fabrics, choosing an ad-hoc coat is at least fundamental.
From Milan to New York, the A/W 2020 shows presented increasingly structured jackets, with almost architectural lines that explode in broad Eighties-style shoulders, puff sleeves and tight bustiers. The attention to the material is constant: the leather or eco-leather for an external covering shows an interior lined in ‘teddy’ woven wool to protect from low temperatures, and there’s satin, tweed and goose-feather paddings standing out too.

The decoration and the extra detail is almost always absent: studs, sequins and embroidery give way to a minimal aesthetic that plays on the whimsy of shape and colour, with some rare hints of metallic decoration and faux fur inserts. Of all the proposals, three trends stand out from the others, with a final surprise! Here are the most beautiful jackets trends for the A/W 2020.
PINK JACKETS
On the various international catwalks, one colour stood out on all the others: pink! From candy nuances to fuchsia to neon shades, pink is the first of the jackets trends for next season.
Chanel proposes a soft jacket in glossy varnish that recalls the cut of vintage raincoats in an intense periwinkle pink, which becomes fuchsia in the bell-shaped design of a satin Gucci jacket and in the metal leather of the bomber jacket with maxi buttons by The Attico (already seen on social networks worn by Chiara Ferragni).
Shocking pink for the Jacquemus long coat, and baby pink for the doublet with black buttons and sculpture neck by MSGM. It ends with the maxi Balenciaga down jacket, in a bright and brilliant bubblegum.
It is the rediscovery of a colour that science has decreed to be the oldest in the world, and which has always been associated with an ideal of absolute femininity.
AVIATOR BOMBER
The aviator bomber is a jacket that arrives in the female wardrobe directly from the uniform of the pilots of the aeronautics (how to forget it worn by Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett in Pearl Harbor?).
Short-waisted, with wide sleeves to allow maximum freedom of movement, the bomber jacket is a super trendy item, with a military chic allure.
It can be said that it is among the most seen jackets in the different collections. Total-black for the leather and eco-leather by Versace, Christian Dior and Giambattista Valli, and with details in gray wool for Louis Vuitton, which vaguely reflects the rock design of the leather nail to adapt to the softer shapes of the aviator.
Lightweight fabrics like satin in exotic colors like teal blue and mustard for Zimmermann’s and Chloé’s bomber jackets, total-white for Alberta Ferretti and ultra-vitamin yellow on patent leather with teddy fabric inserts for Fendi.
The must-have piece is certainly that of Prada, with a unique silhouette reminiscent of the body of a wasp, an elegant and ultra-refined hourglass. To wear over any outfit, the aviator bomber is certainly the unmissable jacket for next season.
COUTURE CAPE
The cape is one of the oldest and most traditional outwear garments, and for the A/W 2020 it is proposed in a couture version. Precious materials, minimal lines, and neutral colours are the masters of it all.
Beige with metallic closure for Celine, teddy inserts and shades of brown for the Miu Miu maxi cape.
Marc Jacobs chooses the irreverence of the animalier pattern, while Valentino opts for an extremely elegant intense yellow.
The fringed total-white by Loewe and the metal and studded details by Balmain are whimsical and original.
With a vintage soul, the cape is an evergreen piece, and the importance of its design transforms it in much more than a simple item to cover you up: it is the undisputed star of every look.
FINAL SURPRISE
Finally, an absolutely unique and original jacket that any fashionista dreams of having in the closet is the one entirely covered with feathers by Saint Laurent.
Wide and large, this jacket is a real prêt-à-porter jewel, and as if it wasn’t enough, it reveals a final surprise: it glows in the dark becoming of a beautiful neon green.
