The Most Stylish Coat of the 2000s Is Set to Make a Comeback with Prada's Approval
In the 2000s, duffel coats were a wardrobe staple for everyone, including celebrities like Alexa Chung, Taylor Swift, and Hailey Baldwin before she became Mrs. Bieber. A duffel coat is known for its toggle fastenings and was initially worn by British sailors before it became a favorite among the fashion elite. However, after its peak popularity, the duffel coat gradually faded from the spotlight. For over a decade, it has largely been absent from the fashion scene and hasn't appeared frequently on celebrities or catwalks. That is, until quite recently.
We should have anticipated the resurgence after Chloë Sevigny, the coolest girl turned coolest mom in the world, donned a plaid duffel coat to the Marc Jacobs show in New York last February, signaling the coat's comeback. But since Sevigny is often ahead of trends, it has only been recently that duffel coats have started to make a notable return on the runways.
The coat was first seen at Prada, where Kendall Jenner wore one during the Fall/Winter 2023 show. It then appeared at Lemaire that same season. It made quiet appearances at Altuzarra and Burberry for Fall/Winter 2024. Most recently, it was spotted at Coach during the Spring/Summer 2025 collection.
It's only a matter of time before the duffel coat regains its popularity, just as it once was. So why not get ahead of the curve? It's the ideal transitional coat for those in-between seasons as spring approaches. And for those who always wanted one during the duffel coat's prime in the 2000s but never purchased, now is definitely the time to do so.
