There's no doubt about it, you've seen the checked Marks and Spencerbarn jacketthat everyone has been so eager to get their hands on – right? Proving that the love for the jacket we all loved last year shows no sign of waning (trust us, they're absolutely everywhere for this autumn/winter, too) it's no surprise everyone made a mad trolley dash to their local M&S to get one. And yes this particular style was online, but with hundreds of people keen to get it, it sold out within a matter of minutes. Typical.
So when is the viral Marks and Spencerjacket back? We contacted our friends at the high street brand, and we've got some bad news for you; it isn't due to get restocked online – at the moment. Sorry. BUT, the good news is, they told us there's a lot of stores with stock, so you may be able to still get one IRL. If not, then we have some more positive news, as M&S – along with so many other brands – all have so many incredible iterations to choose from.
And like the viral Marks and Spencer style (as seen here on content creator @vanessaroseblair) there's so many barn jackets that have that longline silhouette – something that made this particular jacket feel fresh this time round.
Whether you call it a barn jacket like Topshop, a field jacket like COS or a country jacket like Toteme, just know this style is going to be everywhere for autumn/winter 2025. And we, like everyone else for that matter, can't get enough of the go-with-everything style. So we had to show you our favourite autumn barn jackets.
We know what you're thinking – they aren't going to be the same as the sell-out £90 style, and you're right. But they're equally as wearable, practical and chic – so they'll be able to fill the void. So how should you be styling the barn jackets we're about to show you? Either stick to the #countrygirl aesthetic and go for a jumper, jeans and riding boots, or, add a preppy feel by layering over a polo shirtwith a mini skirt and ballet flats. No matter how you wear them, though, you're bound to find your new favourite autumn jacket in 3, 2, 1...
Shop: Best Long Barn Jackets
Marks and Spencerwww.marksandspencer.com
While this isn't the Marks and Spencer jacket we've been talking about, the cut, quality and look of the jacket does feel very similar with the viral one. And no doubt it'll have the same sell-out effect, so you'll have to be quick.
Coswww.cos.com
If Cos is calling this the field jacket, then we too shall call it a field jacket. Again, another style with a cinched waist (a key detail to look for when it comes to outerwear this season), everything about this chocolate brown suede-collared beauty makes us want to buy it. So we have.
Next www.next.co.uk
Petite? Then say hello to your new favourite jacket. Although it's still in the longline silhouette we're wanting to achieve here, it's made specifically for those who are 5'3" and under, so it won't swamp your frame. We're also a huge fan of the countryside girl grid print.
Net a porterwww.net-a-porter.com
Okay, Ganni, you win. Putting the fun into functional layers, this leopard print iteration from the much-loved Scandi brand is sure to liven up even the most simple of outfits. It's also made from a hemp and organic cotton blend so you can feel better shopping knowing it's more sustainable, too.
Anthropologiewww.anthropologie.com
The belt changes everything. Creating a fresh new silhouette for the barn jacket, the cinched waist really elevates the usually quite casual jacket. Add to this the contrast leather collar and it's just 360-degree perfection.
mango shop.mango.com
This one is a bit shorter than most we've shown you so far, but it's too good not to include. Still with the oversized front pockets, the indigo denim with the faux leather collar just looks so expensive – even though it's only £59.99!
Ralph Lauren www.ralphlauren.co.uk
For an iconic utility style, this Polo Ralph Lauren version with its classic navy colour and timeless corduroy collar will never date. We would style this one with a knit, blue jeans and chunky boots for autumn walks.
Toteme www.harrods.com
Great jackets and Toteme go hand-in-hand, so naturally the Swedish fashion label has a style Grazia HQ all want. In a soft cream shade, the minimalist fuss-free floaty design will work with everything from a shirt and wide-leg trousers to a ruffle dress.
& Other Stories www.stories.com
Even the humble denim jacket has been given a barn jacket overhaul. The contrast collar, big front pockets and oversized shape is what's ticking all the right boxes. When it comes to styling, give it a preppy vibe with a leather mini with socks and loafers.
Topshop
This is one of these jackets you're bound to reach for practically every time you leave the house over the next few months. The colour will go with everything, so you can easily style it with neutrals or brights depending on your style.
