I think we can all agree that the barn jacket, once confined to farms and fields, has firmly established itself as an It buy this season.

Historically designed for durability and functionality, over the past year, the jacket’s working roots have been reimagined by designers and embraced by style icons, with chic barn-jacket outfits making the rounds and inspo aplenty. The barn jacket’s resurgence can be seen on both the runways and the streets, not to mention the multiple celebrity sightings. Notably, Dua Lipa was spotted in a dark-olive barn jacket, pairing it effortlessly with casual separates, underscoring the jacket’s adaptability and chic appeal.

On the spring/summer 2025 runways, Prada featured barn jackets layered over tasselled skirts, whilst Loewe presented cropped, waxed-cotton versions reminiscent of classic Barbour styles, paired with sculptural minidresses for a modern twist. Barbour’s own collaboration with Ganni has further cemented the barn jacket’s place in 2025. The collection sees the traditional jacket infused with modern updates, offering fresh takes that resonate with today’s fashion landscape. The reworked silhouettes and unexpected details make this year’s barn jackets both classic and statement.

Fashion people in every stylish city have been taking note, wearing barn jackets in myriad ways. Whether simply paired with jeans for a casual look, cinched at the waist with a skirt for a smarter take or juxtaposed with a delicate dress for contrast, the barn jacket proves its versatility.
