This autumn, coats are brighter and funkier than ever. Instead of settling for muted seasonal tones (remember army green?), shoppers can opt for an oversized blazer in a bold floral pattern or a boyish bomber jacket in a refreshing pastel hue. Cozy quilted jackets are also making a comeback (we love the bright orange at Mackage ). Plus, now that summer’s over, homegrown outerwear designers are really getting a chance to shine: Rudsak has just released a limited edition luxe rocker collection, and Smythe has debuted a chic anniversary collection, in honour of 10 years perfecting blazers. Here, twelve fresh new jackets for fall.
292262 If lightweight jersey bomber jackets aren't warm enough for you, this bright orange down number from <b>Mackage</b> ought to do the trick. (It's also great way to adapt the sporty trend for fall.) $350, <em><a href="http://www.mackage.com/ca/en/zadie-poppy-light-winter-down-quilted-jacket-for-women" target="_blank">mackage.com</a></em><br />

292254 The fur on this functional parka means it won't be banished to the back of your closet when the snow starts to fall. Plus, the oversized fit means you can fit a cozy knit sweater underneath, too. $149, <em><a href="http://www.zara.com/ca/en/woman/outerwear/parka-with-faux-fur-collar-c269183p1983428.html" target="_blank">zara.com</a></em> The Find: fresh fall coats https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/the-find-fall-coats-05-200x200.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/the-find-fall-coats-05.jpg https://torontolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/the-find-fall-coats-05.jpg 416 624 [] https://torontolife.com/shopping/find-fall-coats/slide/the-find-fall-coats-05/ the-find-fall-coats-05 0 0

292261 Though not a typical fall shade, we love how the silvery hue on this oversized <b>Philip Sparks</b> coat gives the classic trench an updated look.
