Your Little Will Be Ready for Apple Picking, Back to School, and Halloween in These Fall Coats

When it's not quite cold enough to break out the puffer for your child, but it's too chilly for them to go without, a kids' fall coat is the perfect transition piece to keep them comfortable. Yes, getting your child to put one on will likely be about as easy as getting them to wake up at 6:30 a.m., but if the coat is fashionable enough, you can get them over that hurdle.

To find the most-wanted kids’ fall jackets, I did what any professional editor would do — I asked my own kids what everyone was wearing. After a long lesson about which hoodies are OK and a rant about the perils of not having enough AJR music to listen to at any given time (this is a massive problem for my 10-year-old, apparently), I was able to check out what it is that the kids want, and where to look.

I have included a bit of all the best kids’ fall jackets styles meticulously listed by my kids and backed up by “evidence” on TikTok, courtesy of my 13-year-old. Yup, I did that, so you don’t have to.
