If there’s one thing that makes the first crisp breeze of September feel exciting, it’s this: the excuse to buy a new jacket. And this year, my cart is practically hijacked by Reformation. Instead of aimlessly scrolling through endless options, I’ve zeroed in on five pieces that actually elevate a wardrobe—outerwear that makes you look instantly put-together even if you’ve just thrown on jeans and a tee.
From oversized leather bombers that turn “casual” into “effortlessly cool” to a cropped trench that redefines proportions in the chicest way—these are the five Reformation jackets I’m more than happy to invest in. And of course, I’ve done the hard work of breaking down what works, what doesn’t, and how to style them.
1. Veda Marco Leather Oversized Bomber (Black)
If I had to crown the jacket of the season, it would be this one. The Marco bomber nails that oversized look without drowning your frame—a tricky balance most leather bombers fail to strike. The supple leather instantly adds edge, while the clean, minimal cut keeps it versatile enough to pair with anything from a silk slip dress to tailored trousers.
Pros: Timeless leather, relaxed but polished silhouette, styling chameleon.
Cons: The oversized fit can overwhelm petites if not styled with structure (think slim bottoms or pointed boots).
✨ Styling tip: Wear it over a ribbed tank and wide-leg pants for an off-duty model vibe—or throw it over a satin dress for date night cool.
Colorway Highlight: Marco Bomber in Greenish Hue
Everything I love about the black Marco, but in a muted greenish tone that feels both fresh and quietly luxurious. This shade works especially well for those who already own a classic black leather jacket and want something less predictable.
2. Veda Harrison Leather Oversized Bomber
The Harrison is like Marco’s edgier sister. Still oversized, but with more defined shoulders and a sharper, bolder presence. If Marco is “laid-back chic,” Harrison is “don’t mess with me cool.”
Pros: Stronger lines, elevated attitude, pairs beautifully with straight-leg denim.
Cons: Slightly heavier and less soft than Marco—this is for those who want statement outerwear, not a second-skin leather.
✨ Styling tip: Balance its masculine cut with feminine touches—like gold hoops or a sleek bun.
3. Veda Jaden Cropped Trench
Not every trench needs to sweep the floor. The Jaden proves that cropped trenches can be incredibly chic. The slightly boxy cut creates the perfect frame for high-waisted trousers, denim, or skirts. It’s giving “Paris in the fall”—effortlessly modern but with a nod to classic tailoring.
Pros: Unique silhouette, ideal for petites, seasonless appeal.
Cons: Less coverage in colder weather (definitely more of a fall/spring piece).
✨ Styling tip: Pair with high-rise wide-leg pants and sleek ankle boots for a lengthening effect.
4. Veda Beck Leather Trench
The Beck is not for the faint of heart—and that’s exactly why I love it. A full-length leather trench is dramatic in the best way. It transforms the simplest outfit into a head-turner. Think: black turtleneck, straight jeans, and boots—and suddenly you’re channeling 90s supermodel energy.
Pros: Show-stopping statement, surprisingly versatile when styled minimally, premium leather.
Cons: Definitely heavier and not as “throw-on-and-go” as other pieces. This is an occasion jacket.
✨ Styling tip: Keep everything else simple. Let the trench speak for itself.
Final Thoughts
Reformation’s Veda collection really nails the balance between classic and modern. These jackets aren’t just about keeping warm—they’re about making every outfit feel intentional. Whether you’re into the cool nonchalance of the Marco bomber, the structured power of Harrison, or the drama of the Beck trench, there’s a piece here that can redefine your fall wardrobe.
And if I’m honest? I don’t think it’s a question of which one to buy—it’s about deciding which one to start with.
