Alexander Wang Jackets and Coats: Leather, Tweed, Puffers and Faux Fur

Alexander Wang jackets and coats are cut short, sharp and mostly black: cropped leather jackets, boxy tweed jackets, oversized puffers and a faux fur lined trench, all made for a downtown wardrobe that goes from day into night. You can shop every style in our edit of designer jackets for women and on the Alexander Wang edit at Coveti, where this season’s outerwear sits next to the tailoring it was designed with.

What kind of jackets does Alexander Wang make?

The house works in four families. Leather comes cropped and padded, sometimes with a faux fur collar, sometimes as a bomber with a scoop neck. Tweed comes as a boxy cropped jacket, made to match a micro mini skirt, and in an embellished version with crystal trim at the neckline. Puffers are oversized with channel quilting, including a velvet version and one covered in crystal hotfix. And the denim jackets play with proportion, from an oversized trucker with a graphic to an upside down jacket trimmed in faux fur.

Leather jackets

Leather is where the house is most precise. The cropped leather jacket stops at the natural waist, so it sits over a slip dress, a fitted knit and low-rise denim without any bulk. If you want warmth, the padded version with faux fur trim is the one to choose. Browse every style in designer leather jackets, and read our guide to Alexander Wang leather if you want to wear leather head to toe.

Tweed jackets

The boxy tweed jacket is the house answer to a classic Paris shape. It is cropped and structured, with a round neck and a concealed front closure, and it is designed to be worn with the matching micro mini skirt. We cover the whole category in tweed jackets for women.

Puffers and padded jackets

The puffers are big on purpose: dropped shoulders, a high collar and a cropped hem in the channel quilted styles. Wear one over a hoodie and track pants for the full house look, with the volume on top and a slim leg below.

Coats and faux fur

For a longer line, the oversized trench comes lined in faux fur, and the distressed leather overcoat covers you to the shin. See our guide to faux fur coats for how to wear the trend, and our existing edit of faux fur jackets for shorter styles.

How do Alexander Wang jackets fit?

Alexander Wang sizes on a US scale. On its own size chart US 0 is UK 4, US 4 is UK 8 and US 8 is UK 12, and the letter sizes run XXS (US 00) to XL (US 14). Coveti lists every piece in UK sizes, converted from that chart. The cropped styles are cropped by design, so do not size up to get length. The puffers and the trench are cut oversized; if you are between sizes, take the smaller one.

Alexander Wang outerwear around the world

In New York and London the cropped leather jacket and the tweed jacket are three season pieces, worn from autumn into spring. In the Gulf, where winter evenings are mild, the tweed jacket and the leather bomber work as evening layers over a dress, and the puffers belong in a travel wardrobe for colder trips. Coveti ships worldwide, with duties shown at checkout for the UK, the EU and the GCC.

Frequently asked questions

Are Alexander Wang jackets true to size?

The brand does not publish fit advice for its outerwear. The cropped jackets are short by design and the puffers are cut oversized, so most people take their usual size.

What is the Alexander Wang tweed jacket made of?

The label on the embellished boxy tweed jacket lists cotton, polyester and acrylic with a viscose lining; the grey boxy jacket is a polyester, acrylic and cotton blend. Exact fibres for every style are in the table above.

Does Alexander Wang make leather jackets?

Yes. This season includes a cropped leather jacket with a gathered collar, a padded cropped leather jacket with faux fur trim and a leather scoop neck bomber.

Is there a faux fur coat from Alexander Wang?

The faux fur appears as a lining on the oversized trench coat and as trim on the padded leather jacket and the denim jacket.
