A Khaki Utility Jacket Is My Favorite Fall Staple This Year—I’m Wearing Anthropologie’s Cool Funnel-Neck Design

We have officially arrived in September, folks! Anyone else feel like summer just breezed right by us? And the new season means a jacket is no longer optional; it's essential.However, what is optional is your jacket of choice, and there's plenty to pick between amongst the fall/winter 2026 fashion trends. But there's no reason to let the weather totally dictate what we wear, by which we mean you don't have to fully commit to a rainproof style if you don't want to. Sure, they’re undeniably practical, but not always chic. And so long as you always have an umbrella to hand, there’s no reason to stick solely to windbreakers and parkas.AnthropologieInstead, why not try a khaki utility jacket? Inspired by classic workwear, the style is all about practicality, with many designs featuring multiple pockets and functional details. But unlike traditional workwear, a utility jacket brings a more fashion-forward edge to the look. Though, of all the ones I’ve come across, Anthropologie’s Moira Funnel-Neck Utility Jacket is easily my favorite. The cool high-neck detail—which has been popping up more and more this year—and boxy, cropped silhouette give it a more elevated feel while still keeping that laidback, utilitarian vibe.Below, find more of our favorite khaki utility jackets, all available to shop now:Alexandria Dale is the Digital Fashion Writer at Cosmopolitan UK.
