The Aviator Jacket You Need This Autumn

Aviator Jacket, Zara; Tee, Asos; Jeans, Marks & Spencer

If, like me, the Acne jacket of dreams looks as though it's set to remain one of our dreams and not a reality then this post is for you... The Aviator jacket is a trend that just keeps on giving, everyone and their mum had the classic black style from Zara last year and whilst I loved how cosy it looked it just wasn't very me.

I didn't buy into the trend as it just didn't feel like it'd be a jacket that would fit into and work with my existing wardrobe. So when I spied this forest green style on Zara's website I immediately added it to my bag - you can catch up on everything else I picked up from Zara in my megga haul here. 

Super soft and fully lined in faux-shearling they are literally the cosiest and most snug pieces in the world. So whilst I'd been eyeing up the dreamy and now surely iconic Acne style for years and years I'm pretty certain that this number is the next best thing. So, not only is it guaranteed to keep you unbelievably warm all winter long it's such a warm and versatile shade that it'll work with everything - even giving your wardrobe a little extra colour into your everyday looks. Like pretty much everything in Zara I'm certain this forest green Aviator will be a sell-out to pick up one while you can and invest in your winter coat early - this is my go-to move each season as it affords me a little extra time with my boyfriend as, come October he'll have totally forgotten that it was meant to be my only winter coat purchase for the year! 

However, if forest green isn't your colour then don't fear as trusty Topshop have several great options, as do Asos (as ever!) and I've popped together a little edit of a few of my absolute faves...
