No wardrobe is complete without the essentials: a good pair of boots, a classic dress to throw on for any occasion, and of course, an everyday jacket to help keep you comfortable in style. If there’s one silhouette that’s continuing to stay on the scene, it’s the barn jacket.
Be it in Balmoral or Bergdorf, the iconic staple, which is best recognized for its weatherproof waxed cotton shell and distinct corduroy collar, is a transitional weather workhorse. It’s perfectly lightweight insulation for these early spring days that start chilly and end warm, and it’s slim enough to keep in the closet for the next fall season without taking up much room.
This season’s iterations are brimming with traditional details we all know and love, but with modern tweaks too good to pass up on. Ahead, the best barn jackets to buy now and wear forever.
