If you're on the hunt for a new coat for this season, it might be time to consider a barn jacket. The contrasting collar jacket with roots in British countryside has slowly emerged as a popular choice amongst the fashion set, and what started as a practical canvas coat worn by farmers has become this season's most coveted wardrobe staple, approved by fashion's best-dressed.
This isn't the first time the humble barn jacket has seen the light of day. Kate Middleton has long endorsed the country staple in the form of her trusted Barbour coat, replicated by Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller as the perfect festival jacket, appropriately layered over short dresses and thigh-high wellies. Now, everyone from Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter and Hailey Bieber are stepping out in this season's transitional weather staple.
On the runway, Miuccia Prada endorsed navy, khaki, brown and hunter green barn jackets for SS24, layered contrastingly with tasseled and sheer skirts. However, Prada wasn't the first to introduce the canvas coat to the catwalk, with Loewe previously featuring the barn jacket for SS23. Other luxury iterations of the barn jacket include Toteme's Waxed Organic Cotton Coat, £670, Loewe's Trapeze Parka, £2,600 and Carhartt's classic Detroit jacket, which also made Lyst's Q1 list of hottest products.
If, understandably, you'd rather not spend a small fortune on a jacket, then Mango offers the perfect solution. Practically every stylish person on my Instagram has been spotted wearing Mango's Parka £99.99, and you don't have to dig deep to see why. With a cool oversized fit, made from a canvas cotton fabric and a thick, warm lining, the Mango barn jacket will withstand the elements while remaining the most stylish outerwear staple in your cold weather wardrobe, thanks to its chic shirt style collar and gold hook fastenings.
