The Barn Jacket: The ‘It’ jacket for fall 2024

After Prada’s spring 2024 show, the fashion world declared the Barn Jacket as the “It” jacket for both spring and fall 2024. While some might find it hard to believe that a staple ♈workman wear jacket would make its way to the glitzy runways, others know it was only a matter of time.

It’s not a new style (it’s literally been around since the end of the 19th century), just a new way of styling.  In recent decades, it’s been a royal family favorite — from Queen Eliz♛abeth II’s waxy versions to Kate Middleton’s preppy quilted styles. Some might recall the J.Crew and L.L.Bean catalogs that featured a variety of everyday contemporary offerings in the𒆙 ’90s.
