There's something of a formula many well-dressed women follow when it comes to putting together a sharp winter outfit. You start with a warm knit, of course, usually paired with wide-leg trousers or perhaps a pair of trendy barrel-leg jeans, and top it all off with a sleek winter coat. As it turns out, the outerwear of choice for the fashion forward this season has been less tailored and more rugged. Splashed across runways and favoured by celebs and influencers alike, AW24 has been all about the barn jacket. So, when I saw Massimo Dutti's Jacket With Leather Collar Detail, I knew I'd found the perfect cold-weather staple for the year.
Once reserved for farming or perhaps walks in the British countryside, stylish barn jackets are now a modern day wardrobe staple — and one that Zara's premium sister brand makes extremely well. Made with 100% cotton with a streamlined silhouette, this faded khaki design is detailed with patch pockets and a sheepskin leather collar. It's minimalistic construction earns it excellent cost per wear, making it the hardest work piece in your wardrobe no matter the season. The best part? You can snag a truly great deal on it with 40% off in the Massimo Dutti Black Friday sale.

Massimo Dutti has some of the most well-crafted and stylish jackets on the high street, including this trendy barn jacket. Wear with cosy jumpers in the winter or floaty midi dress for summer.
Although the cotton construction might indicate a jacket more equipped for spring than December's chilly weather, the boxy jacket is primed with layering potential. The everyday wearable jacket is perfect for throwing over everything — from woollen knits (this could-be designer H&M cardigan deserves a special mention here) and turtlenecks to slinky slip dresses and floral midis.
So if you're in the market for a well-crafted transitional jacket that'll take you from winter through to warmer spring and summer months, let me suggest adding this Massimo Dutti jacket to your cart immediately. And with almost £80 off the RRP, it's easily one of the best Black Friday clothing deals we've spotted this year.
