Autumn in Ukraine is often unpredictable. The morning begins with fog, the sun shines during the day, and in the evening it rains. To avoid being cold and look stylish, it is worth choosing outerwear that combines comfort, practicality, and a trendy look, says Ukrainian stylist Halyna Denysiuk.
"The best option is layering. For early autumn, take a trench or a light coat. For cooler days, pick up a wool jacket or a leather jacket. A cape or a bomber jacket made of water-resistant material is very practical. Such pieces help you quickly adapt to changes in the weather and remain stylish," Denysiuk noted.
Trench
A classic trench coat is the undeniable leader of the mid-season. Its length and fabric density are ideal for unstable weather. It protects against the wind, and in water-resistant models, against light rain as well.
Moreover, it is easy to style. You can wear it with jeans as well as with a business suit. In the autumn 2025 season, beige, khaki, or dark blue options are in fashion.

Lightweight coat
If you look for elegance and comfort, a light coat will be an excellent choice. Most often, it is made of dense suiting fabric or a blend of wool with polyester, which provides warmth without weighing down the look.
Such outerwear is perfect for a business style, yet looks well with sneakers and a hoodie. In autumn 2025, coats with a soft shoulder line and a straight silhouette are in fashion.
Wool jacket
A wool jacket is an alternative to a classic coat when you want lightness but without losing warmth. On cool days, it perfectly keeps warmth, and if necessary, it can be easily taken off or thrown over the shoulders.
This autumn, fitted and oversized jackets made of textured wool in shades of graphite, gray, chocolate, or olive are in trend.
Leather jacket
A leather jacket is a classic that always looks relevant. It protects against wind and light rain and combines perfectly with both casual and more refined outfits.
In 2025, leather blazers, cropped models, and elongated options with a belt are again in fashion. Choose high-quality eco-leather or soft natural leather. It breathes better and holds the shape.

Cape
Capes are outerwear without sleeves that create a sophisticated and mysterious look. This is a stylish and practical solution for autumn, especially on days when you do not want to wear bulky clothing.
It pairs wonderfully with high boots, thick knit dresses, or suits. In the 2025 season, capes made of wool, cashmere, and dense cotton with decorative fittings are in fashion.
Bomber jacket made of water-resistant material
For a more active lifestyle, it is worth choosing a bomber jacket made of water-resistant fabric. This is the perfect option for city walks, traveling, or commuting in unstable weather.
Such a jacket protects against rain and wind, has a comfortable fit, and often comes with a hood or additional pockets. In 2025, sporty-style models are popular, as well as minimalist bombers in restrained colors, like black, gray, and khaki.
