Hold onto your brown and black jackets—seasoned shoppers are trading them in for those in this stylish hue.

      And just like that, fall has arrived. How can we tell? Celebrities are seen in jackets around NYC. Specifically, I'm talking about Katie Holmes and the newly engaged Elsa Hosk, who were recently spotted in lower Manhattan donning jackets in navy—neither brown nor black. While brown and black jackets will always remain in style, navy blue has emerged as the luxurious neutral that many have chosen to replace those classic staples over the last year, making jackets the new must-have navy item. Hosk chose a Valentino jacket with brown fur trim, while Holmes opted for a collarless blazer-style jacket. Both were slightly cropped, which is an important detail to consider when searching for your new fall jacket. Continue scrolling to find a selection that I believe Hosk and Holmes would endorse.
