Move over, trench coats — these countrycore jackets are gracing the shoulders of Hailey Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter and Kate Middleton in 2025.
This autumn’s hottest outerwear trend isn’t flashy, embellished or overly styled. In fact, it’s gloriously practical. Introducing: the barn jacket.
Originally a staple for country life (think muddy fields and early morning dog walks), this utilitarian classic is now fully fashion-approved, trading in the farm for front rows and FYPs.
What sets these jackets apart? Hardy canvas or waxed fabrics, contrast corduroy collars, oversized silhouettes and plenty of pocket space. It’s outerwear that works as hard as it looks — making it the ideal transitional piece for unpredictable autumn weather.
While heritage brands like Barbour still dominate, the barn jacket has gone fully mainstream — and every high street and designer brand has its own version. From oversized denim takes to puffers with a rural twist there’s a jacket here for every kind of cool-weather wardrobe.
Here, we’ve rounded up the most stylish barn jackets to shop right now — so you can nail countryside chic (even if the closest you get to a farm is a weekend farmers’ market).
