The First Major Trend of Autumn Has Arrived and Can Already Be Found at Zara, H&M, and Röhé.

      The heatwave isn't over yet, but I've already begun thinking about the jackets I'll be purchasing for autumn. Anyone who lives in or has visited the UK knows how quickly temperatures can drop, and being proactive can help ease the transition into the new season, especially since the most sought-after styles tend to sell out fast. Fortunately, the hottest jacket trend for autumn 2026 is already upon us, and it’s quite different from the traditional trench coats we usually see at this time of year. This season, stylish individuals are turning to a specific outerwear trend that, in my opinion, is far more sophisticated: the frog-fastening jacket.

      I first noticed this jacket style last winter when the minimalist brand Róhe’s Pankou jacket gained popularity on social media and among the team at Who What Wear. With its decorative braided cord loops and knotted toggles, this outerwear feels much more upscale than a typical button or zip coat. While I believe this artisanal jacket is a worthy investment, it's great to see that similar frog-fastening styles are readily available on the high street, including at Zara and H&M.

      Sleek enough to pair with any dress, jeans, or tailored pants, yet fresh enough to offer a distinctive and elegant alternative to your classic bomber or collarless jacket, I’m already contemplating how I’ll style it. Throughout the transitional season, this refined design can easily be thrown over a simple tank top and linen pants with ballet flats for work, then layered over a light sweater, wool trousers, and loafers as temperatures drop.

      Whether you're considering a reliable high-street piece or planning to splurge on a luxury item, the frog-fastening jacket trend is sure to remain in your wardrobe for years to come. Continue scrolling to shop my selection of the most sophisticated styles for autumn 2026 and beyond.
