3 Ways I’m Styling The Barn Jacket
What Are We Wearing?
One of the most talked about trends this fall is one that we have seen for many years, but it's taking on a whole new energy. The reimagined barn jacket has reemerged as the must-have outerwear piece this season. Initially designed for utility on farms, this classic jacket has made its way into mainstream fashion, blending rugged charm with effortless style. Its appeal lies in its durability, warmth, weatherproofing capabilities, and understated elegance, making it a go-to piece for your casual looks. Here are a few elevated ways I am styling the barn jacket.
Pair your barn jacket with your favorite jeans, a cozy knit sweater, and ankle boots for a laid-back yet polished look. Opt for olive, tan, or navy earth tones to complement the autumn palette. I like to finish the look with a polished belt that adds some shine and elegance to the otherwise casual ensemble making you feel more put together and finished, yet remaining cool as ever.
For a refined spin, layer your barn jacket over a button-down shirt and slim trousers or with a plaid skirt, fitted turtleneck, and tights. Given the barn-style jacket's natural design elements—typically a pronounced or contrasting collar, metallic hardware, or even a waxed coating—mixing textures and rustic prints works well. Finish with loafers, knee-high, or Chelsea boots to channel a classic, preppy vibe.
If you're going for a more outdoorsy look, style your barn jacket with denim, leggings, or cargo pants, a warm sweater, your favorite belt, and a chunky scarf to complete the look. Add a pair of warm hiking boots with thick, slouchy cashmere socks to stay comfortable and trendy on all your weekend adventures.
