I Just Tried 7 Rich-Looking High Street Jackets—And They All Come From Mango

There’s a lot to be excited about as the new season arrives. The crunch of leaves underfoot, pumpkin spice everything back on the menus, and the start of a new style moment. I’ve always considered autumn to be a real turning point in the year, in part because of the back-to-school feeling but also as the most distinct transition from one season to the next. And the weather certainly proved that. Whilst we’ve enjoyed the sudden heatwave, the crisp mornings still show that the cooler days are here. Looking to our wardrobes, there are a few autumn staples that are ready to return to pride of place, but I find the real key piece is great outerwear.

Of course, there’s an array of brilliant outfits to play with over the coming season, but whether you’re opting into revived denim, sleek tailoring or cosy knit dresses, a jacket or coat will always be the finishing touch. As the outermost layer, I want my jackets and coats to be as polished, chic and expensive-looking as my outfits underneath, and so it seemed only natural to start my hunt at Mango.

Many will be acquainted with that faux shearling jacket or the recent cow print jacket that the brand couldn’t keep in stock. As autumn arrived, the high street hero once again showed its design prowess with an influx of highly chic, easy to style and seriously premium-looking outerwear, and I’ve tried on the 7 best styles just for you.
