It happens every year: the first leaf of autumn falls to the ground and immediately the urge to feel like Lorelai in every episode of “Gilmore Girls” sets in. The only problem is that temperatures tend to stay pretty summery at first, even after school has started again and Starbucks has added pumpkin spice flavors to the menu. We want to welcome fall, but the weather hasn’t caught up yet, so all we can do is invest in a transitional wardrobe, one full of lightweight jackets that can handle both warm days and cooler nights.

Linen pieces are just as comfortable for summer as lightweight jackets are for the early months of fall. You never know what to expect—it could be 27 degrees, 4 degrees, and it could change at any moment—but with the right jacket, you at least have that extra layer you can throw on or take off. Read on to find out our top 15 Amazon picks, all for $50 or less.

Anrabess Fleece Button-Down

Don’t let the fleece material of this button-down jacket put you off. It’s made from 100% polyester and looks like a cozy fall jacket without providing too much warmth, so it’s great for fall, but you’ll need a few layers underneath if you plan on wearing it in the winter. Throw it on for a late-night soccer game or leave it in the car in case the temperature drops during that sunset beach picnic. It’s the perfect layer to have on the go.

AutoMet Oversized Faux Suede Jacket

Fall is the season for leather jackets – faux leather and otherwise. Available in black and brown, this oversized style adds instant texture, shine and edge to an otherwise very summery outfit. Pair the contrasting jacket with anything from shorts or long jeans to a summer dress or skirt.

Lightweight raincoat from Avoogue

A customer-loved style with nearly 10,000 five-star reviews, this waterproof option can be worn as a rain jacket, windbreaker, or just as an extra layer—even when it’s barely raining or windy. It comes in a variety of colors (including some two-tone combinations and patterns), and you’ll love its relaxed fit and optional hood. The fact that it’s waterproof is just an added bonus, as you can really throw on that extra layer anytime, for any occasion. It’ll help you fight off the weather and mosquitoes, but won’t let you overheat as quickly.
