Why Barn Jackets Are the Perfect Fall Staple

Barn jackets are having a major moment this year! After the collaboration between Barbour and Ganni, this quintessentially British style has seen a huge revival, and honestly, we’re all here for it. I love this trend because it feels effortlessly chic and matches the cozy yet practical vibe of fall. In fact, I’ve become so obsessed that I’ve managed to collect a few barn jackets in a very short time—and I’m not sure when I’ll stop!

So far, I’ve found two amazing barn jackets from Mango. They’re incredibly affordable compared to other brands, without compromising on quality. These jackets are well-made, stylish, and versatile. Personally, I’m drawn to square-pattern barn jackets, like the one I’m featuring in this post. It’s phenomenal—the oversized shape is just right, and the colors pop beautifully against the black velvet lapels. Another great feature of barn jackets is the abundance of pockets, which are super practical. This one, in particular, boasts four outer pockets and one inner pocket—perfect for stashing all your essentials.

Since we want to stay warm without overheating during this transitional season, my go-to layering pieces are sporty yet streamlined sweaters from Zara. They aren’t too long, so they avoid looking bulky under a jacket. Balancing proportions is key when wearing oversized pieces, like wide barn jackets, so you don’t feel like you’re swimming in fabric. These sweaters come in three colors—and yes, I grabbed all three because I’m a self-proclaimed outfit repeater when I’m in a rush!

To modernize the look, choosing the right bottoms is essential. My pick? Balloon jeans from Zara. They add contrast to the structured barn jacket and elevate this traditional style into something fresh and current. The goal is to channel a Kate Middleton-inspired look but with a more updated, fashion-forward twist.

For footwear, I went with a pair of black and cream Adidas Samba OG sneakers. You simply can’t go wrong with these—they add an effortless, cool vibe to any outfit. Just a tip: they tend to run small, so consider sizing up!

Finally, let’s talk accessories—the detail that completes any outfit. For this look, I chose the Mini Bellissima bag from Soeur in smooth black leather. It’s compact yet surprisingly spacious, and the crossbody style works beautifully with an oversized coat. Plus, it’s incredibly practical, which is always a win.

What about you? Are you embracing the barn jacket trend this fall? Let me know how you’re styling yours!
