Not barn, not suede — the elegant jacket trend fashion is here.
A reworked classic, this part sporty, part utility jacket doesn’t feel all that different from the windbreakers soaring in popularity amongst the style set right now. But where they diverge is all in the detail. With an adjustable drawstring waist (that allows you to reshape as needed) and weather-appropriate functionality, they feel refreshingly now.
Somehow balancing pared-back sophistication with nonchalant toughness, the waisted utility jacket feels like the windbreakers’ grown-up sibling, carrying its throw-on appeal with an elevated twist.
The chicest fashion people have been wearing this jacket trend since the beginning of spring, and pairing it with everything from cropped capris and kitten heels, to straight-leg trousers and ballet flats. Doing all the heavy lifting for you, it’s a piece that couldn’t be easier to style.
Simply throw it on, cinch it in and go.
