Goodbye to summer, where less is always better -- autumn gives people the option to add more clothing and individualize their outfits. From baggy sweaters, knee-high boots, scarves and jackets, the options for putting together an outfit during the colder months are endless.
Here are a few jackets to throw on over your sweater-dress or turtleneck on your way out the door.
For the Girls

A bomber leather jacket is a stylish and lightweight way to go when looking for the perfect jacket. Urban Outfitter's Silence & Noise 2-Pocket Bomber ($89.99 at urbanoutfitters.com) comes in dark brown or olive faux-leather and pairs perfectly with skinny jeans and a loose T-shirt.
Splurge
If you're looking for an authentic leather jacket without having to travel to Italy, Topshop's Leather Bomber Jacket ($260 at topshop.com) is a perfect alternative. Its waistband will make sure it's fitted, and its multiple zippers in the front add something to separate it from the typical leather jacket.

Tweed pea coats have always been a safe and fashionable choice when trying to find the perfect coat. It'll never go out of date, and it gives your body a great shape. Forever 21's Tweed Classic Trench ($37.80 at forever21.com) is cheaper but just as stylish.
Splurge
Via Spiga "Pimino" Belted Walker Coat ($437.50 at Bloomingdales.com) is a chic and sophisticated take on the typical pea coat.
The acrylic and wool coat comes in graphite and black, and it will surely last you through the rest of your college career and even into the real world.
For the Guys

Not only are pea coats never going out of style for women, they aren't for men, either.
While some guys may feel they're too preppy, they are anything but -- they can make your outfit anything from trendy to artsy to edgy.
It all just depends on what you pair it with. Urban Outfitter's Standard Press Gang Pea Coat ($118 at urbanoutfitters.com) comes in navy and charcoal.
Splurge
Polo Ralph Lauren Academy Pea Coat ($425 at bloomdingdales.com) is a classic double-breasted pea coat.
It comes in navy and black, and the wool will keep you warm through fall and winter.
