When the temperature drops, wardrobes often default to familiar palettes: deep burgundies, muted olives, delicious chocolate, and endless shades of grey. If you're the kind of person who lives in pastels (read: me), this might mean you're not keen on saying goodbye to spring florals and Barbiecore pink just yet. Well, happily for us, this season there is another option to autumn's muted tones. It's a pink jacket that's been splashed all over Instagram lately: a subtle pink barn jacket from British high street hero Monsoon.
With an oversized fit and a contrast corduroy collar, the Rosie barn jacket is rendered in a taupe-blush hue that feels like the perfect way to bring the saccharine shade into autumn. As if the jacket wasn't chic enough, the brand has added a check lining for a pop of print when you roll up the sleeves.

This barn jacket has an oversized fit, deep pockets and a zip-and-button fastening that makes it chic yet practical. Layer it over denim for a weekend stroll, or pair it with wide-leg trousers or even a skirt if the weather allows.
While the pink might seem a bit daunting, the barn jacket is actually incredibly easy to style. Look to Lindsey Isla Henderson, who styled hers with checked trousers to match the jacket's lining or Elle Bridge's balloon-hem mini skirt for days when it's still a little warm. With British weather oscillating between chilly mornings and warm afternoons, a trusty barn jacket hits the perfect middle ground.
Cosy enough to keep the cold at bay, yet light enough for humid weather, Monsoon's pretty pink jacket is perfectly at home on your morning commute as it is on brisk weekend walks. However, if you're not too keen on pink, you'll find the Rosie jacket is also available in a deeper bronze gold shade that'll fit well in any autumn wardrobe.

For those after something earthier, the Rosie jacket also comes in a golden colourway. Think olive green body, chocolate brown corduroy collar, and a peek of traditional check lining at the cuffs. We’d love this with gingham trousers and suede trainers or loafers.
As is the case with any viral piece, Monsoon's Rosie barn jacket is already selling fast, so if you miss out on this pretty autumn classic, we've found an array of brilliant pink barn jackets that'll keep you looking chic and feeling warm all season long.
