10 Statement Jackets You Need To See

A statement jacket for minimalists, this twill piece with contrasting scarlet cuffs (and a box-pleat bag) is more like a gorgeous sculpture than outerwear.

Below, 9 more statement jackets that you seriously need to take a look at (some because you should probably buy them, others because…well, you’ll see) are below.

Palmer/Harding Contrast Cuff Jacket

A statement jacket for minimalists, this twill piece with contrasting scarlet cuffs (and a box-pleat bag) is more like a gorgeous sculpture than outerwear.

The Short Monster

This jacket by The Great is called “The Short Monster.” I feel like that’s all you really need to know about it. (OK, also maybe you should know that it’s alpaca knitted in such a way that the shag looks almost like fringe and would look AMAZING with faded, distressed denim.)

3/10

MM6 Vest-Overlay Denim Jacket

Is it a vest? Is it a jacket? IT’S BOTH. And everyone is going to want to talk to you about this thing (except they probably won’t because they’ll be all intimidated by your extreme coolness).

4/10

Comme Des Garçons Oversize Jacket

Sometimes all you need is an incredible shape to make a jacket completely statement-making. And not only is the shape of this leather topper insanely cool…it’s also way oversized, like you borrowed a coat from the coolest boyfriend ever. I’ve never seen anything like this. Obsessed.

Roberto Cavalli Suede Fringe Coat

This coat costs more than $13,000. And while those of you who have 13k laying around should probably spend it on a Czech castle rather than a coat…well, let’s just say it’s debatable. This coat is so good. (And besides, you can get 20% off with code BEST20! they’re practically giving it away.)

6/10

boohoo Mia Embroidered Jacket

A way more casual take on the statement jacket than most of the others pictured here, this (adooooorable) denim jacket with embroidery and tassel-y things on the back is also $49. So there you go.

7/10

Dolce & Gabbana Shaggy Coat

What. Is this. (It’s a pet that you get to carry around with you everywhere and don’t have to feed; that’s what it is.)

8/10

Roberto Cavalli Embroidered Poncho

Omgoodness, this poncho – embroidered, with fringe swishing around the bottom hem – is perfection. It’s also very expensive (albeit on sale). This one is similar-ish in vibe and much more reasonable.

9/10

Gucci Flower-and-Tiger Appliqué Bomber

To call this a “bomber jacket” is a little bit of a misnomer, because in my experience bomber jackets don’t tend to have silk Bengal tigers and the words “L’Aveugle Par Amour” embroidered on them. They should, though.

10/10

Charlotte Simone Va-Va-Varsity Jacket

I’m not only not sure who in the world could pull this off…I’m not even sure what it is. But I feel like any post about statement jackets would be sorely lacking without a little hot-pink Mongolian lamb.
