Across the pond in Paris and London, fashion insiders from all parts of the world are opting to sling their jackets over their shoulders rather than wear them fully. Why? Because it makes for a nonchalant look that elevates your chic status times 10.

But even if you don't live in Europe, or aren't even visiting soon, that doesn't mean you can't get in on the sharp trend. Step inside to see which fashion insiders have slung their jackets over their shoulders and to shop similar pieces for your next jacket-slinging effect.

Spring's fickle weather often calls for some styling creativity — it may be warm enough to wear shorts or a chic sundress, but not without a light layer on top, just in case.

We're currently smitten with bomber jackets for Winter thanks to this season's obsession with the sporty trend. Designers like Phillip Lim, Givenchy, and Alexander Wang all showed their rendition on the runways in the way of silk-sleeved bombers, varsity jackets, and sleek printed options. Thus, we're on the hunt for our very own this season. Style tip: make sure to temper this sporty, oversize silhouette with sleeker accompaniments like pencil skirts and skinny pants for chic boy-meets-girl appeal. We love how Harper's Bazaar Australia editor Christine Centenera styled her shearling-lined leather bomber with a streamlined skirt and fitted top.

Whether you're in the market for something dressy, everyday layering pieces, or a statement jacket, we promise there's something here for every girl and every budget. Read our shopping tips below, before clicking through our 20 favorite Fall jackets.

• Invest in a leather jacket or a jacket with leather details on the sleeves or lapels. This is the season's most versatile look — it goes anywhere and adds a luxe, edgy finish to everything you put on.
• Have fun with textures, like a great boucle tweed or velvet blazer that you can dress up at work or down with denim on the weekends.
• Take a risk with a new silhouette. The cape jacket is this season's most sophisticated way to layer up.
