The barn jacket is the jacket for this fall
And this is how you wear it
Say goodbye to your trench and leather biker, because a new jacket is in the spotlight: the barn jacket. Yep, that classic from the British countryside that is suddenly conquering the catwalk and our Instagram feed.
What is a barn jacket?
Think utility meets chic, with a corduroy collar and an oversized straight fit. The barn jacket made its comeback on Prada’s catwalk spring/summer 2024 and was quickly embraced by The Row and Loewe. Style icons like Hailey Bieber and Katie Holmes are wearing it too. And with Copenhagen Fashion Week just behind us, this, thanks to media and influencers, is one of fall’s biggest outerwear trends of 2025.
How do you wear the barn jacket?
Easy. Throw it over a slip dress and you immediately score 10/10 fashion points. At the office, it works just fine too: combine with trousers and loafers and you look like you just walked out of the fall/winter ’25 Prada campaign. Weekend? Put an oversized sweater underneath, straight jeans, and sneakers and you’re all set for autumn.
Extra plus: the barn jacket is super practical (yes, those pockets really do something) and it gives your outfit that nonchalant “oh I just threw this on”-vibe, while you still look extra sharp. In short: this will be the jacket you’ll drag everywhere with you.
And if you still find it a bit tricky…
Here’s how to wear the barn jacket this autumn in your favorite look & mood:
Girly twist: wear it over a maxi dress + ballerinas for a Scandi-style.

Country cool: with a sweater, corduroy pants or leggings and boots – as if you just came from an English estate.
@amyfuchsiashaw Me 🤝 giant winter jackets that swallow you up. I am a cold gal I need a big jacket. And big pockets @asos ♬ hot house – berlioz
City vibe: style with a short skirt or bermuda and knee-high boots, and you immediately capture that Parisienne nonchalance.
