While we can always rely on the best trench coats to finish off autumn outfits with a chic and practical flair, in the early days of autumn, a lighter jacket is a much more versatile go-to – delivering the gentle added warmth we're craving as cosy season sets in. If you’re on the hunt for the ideal autumn jacket, look no further than Gabby Logan’s cream Zara design.
She was spotted wearing the Zara Woman Collection Buttoned Jacket during the England vs Samoa Rugby World Cup match over the weekend, with the ecru-toned piece working as an ideal fashion-forward layer to bring warmth while also feeling super chic.
Gabby expertly styled the jacket with a muted pink blouse and a pair of textured suit trousers to create an outfit that’s gone straight on our roundup of smart casual outfit ideas for the season ahead.
