If you’re buying two jackets this fall, make it a barn jacket and a leather bomber. The barn jacket is officially back, and I love that it feels equal parts classic, practical, and cool. Originally designed as a functional workwear piece, it’s been reimagined in a way that feels so fresh—think oversized fits, corduroy collars, and that perfectly lived-in look. Throw it over denim and a tee, leggings for school drop-off, or even something a little more polished.
On the other end of the spectrum is the leather bomber, which gives any outfit an instant edge without trying too hard. I love an oversized silhouette layered over knits, dresses, or your everyday jeans. Between these two, you’re basically covered for fall: the barn jacket for that effortless, preppy countryside feel and the leather bomber when you want something a little cooler and more elevated. Consider this your sign that you really don’t need ten new jackets this season—just one of these two styles.
