If You Aim to Appear Wealthy This Spring, This Is the Sole Jacket Trend Worth Considering.
New Yorkers *enjoy* discussing how there are only a handful of weeks each year when the weather is just right—not too hot and not too cold. The fall and spring seasons here are nearly laughably brief—miss out for just a moment (or choose the wrong weekend to be away), and you could completely overlook them. It’s quite possible that your ideal light jacket from last fall didn’t get adequate wear—and considering how much of the fashion world is based here, I suspect this partly explains the luxurious spring trend reemerging within the wardrobes of It-girls and fashion editors on both coasts. Late last year, barn jackets swiftly became some of the most sought-after items for fall. From the Kate Middleton-endorsed classic Barbour styles to contemporary versions from J. Crew and Mango that kept flying off the shelves, we couldn’t get enough of these stylish utility jackets, often featuring corduroy collars. For spring 2025, the contrasting collar is making a strong comeback, available in various more refined materials like suede, velvet, and vegan leather, adding a touch of luxury to both polished and casual looks. Chic denim overshirts? Cropped jackets? Absolutely. If you thrive on those 50-degree days, here’s a variety of stylish options for you to enjoy this season.
