It's not yet August, but I've already discovered the jacket that will be in high demand this autumn.

      If you're someone who frequently checks the weather app like I do, you might have noticed that our usual sunshine has taken a break for now. Amidst the sunny days, gray skies have settled over London, and I've come to the realization that it's time to seek out a great jacket to keep me warm through the cooler days and into autumn. My search started, as it always does, by considering which jacket style would be the most timeless while still feeling modern. I quickly settled on the popular barn jacket, which remains a favorite among fashionable individuals, and just as I arrived at that decision, Whistles re-released its best-selling jacket from last year. This time, I'm determined not to let it slip away.

      Spacious, comfortable, and with a timeless charm, this is the type of jacket you'll want to add to your wardrobe and find yourself reaching for repeatedly. Offered in light beige and black colors, it pairs well with the essential neutrals in your closet as well as more vibrant hues. The design pays homage to traditional barn jackets, featuring a contrasting corduroy collar and prominent pockets that combine style with practicality.

      The jacket's exterior is made of 100% cotton, mimicking the classic waxed styles that are perennial favorites. Whistles updates this quintessential jacket with a slightly oversized silhouette, although the sleeves maintain a regular length, which adds a nice detail. I opted for a smaller size as I did with the popular Clean Bonded Leather Jacket, but I suggest sticking with your usual size for this one.

      Inside, the jacket is padded for additional warmth on those chillier autumn days. It fastens with both a zip and poppers, ensuring the wearer stays dry even in heavy rain. The thoughtful design also includes bold front pockets, which feature both a slip pocket and patch pockets; the latter closes with a magnet to secure your most valued belongings.
