Forget the Brown and Black Jackets—Seasoned Shoppers Are Trading Them for This Elegant Hue.

      And just like that, fall is here. How can we tell? Celebrities are sporting jackets in NYC. Specifically, I'm talking about Katie Holmes and the newly engaged Elsa Hosk, who were recently seen on the streets of lower Manhattan clad in navy jackets—not brown or black. It's important to note that while brown and black jackets will always remain stylish, navy blue has emerged as the luxurious neutral that many have been choosing over the past year, making jackets the new must-have item in navy. Hosk chose a Valentino jacket accented with brown fur, while Holmes selected a collarless blazer-style jacket. It’s interesting to note that both jackets are slightly cropped, a detail to consider when looking for your new fall outerwear. Continue scrolling to find some options that I believe Hosk and Holmes would endorse.
