While we wouldn't say that moto jackets are every truly "out," they're definitely losing favor. Never has there been such a plethora of cool, fresh, and forward jackets to choose from, making it the perfect time to use a jacket as the hero piece in an outfit. With the rise of so many new jacket trends, it means that traditional styles aren't popping as much this season and that's true of the good old moto jacket. I'd never go so far as to say it's outdated because I think it's more of a trend-resistant piece, but it's markedly absent these days.
In its place is one jacket that I find to be far more elegant and chic, but no less versatile, and that's a funnel-neck jacket. Funnel necklines have been trending all year long, but the trend is evolving for cooler weather with so many jacket styles that are being finished with the tall neckline. They're coming in cool leather options that could easily be a 1:1 swap for a moto jacket, but the silhouette is also popping up as funnel-neck windbreakers, funnel-neck trench coats, and funnel-neck cinch-waist styles, too.
In other words, it's a funnel-neck fall. As such, everyone with good taste in New York, Paris, and London seems to have retired their moto jackets in favor of these stand collar styles. Here, shop the 29 best funnel-neck jackets we recommend. Ahead, take a look at how celebs and fashion girls are styling the jacket trend in 2025 and then peruse the best picks in the market, according to me.
Leather Funnel-Neck Jackets
No hate to moto jackets, but one style chic people are using as a one-for-one replacement in their outfits is a leather jacket with a funnel neckline. Whether it's a leather bomber jacket or simple zip-front style, the high collar detail makes the silhouette immediately so current.
Funnel-Neck Windbreakers
Sporty windbreaker jackets have risen exponentially in popularity this year, and fashion people are using them as the unexpected styling piece in an otherwise elevated, non-athletic outfit. A funnel-neck windbreaker is one piece I'm seeing everyone wear with denim, trousers, and skirts for a forward feel.
Funnel-Neck Bomber Jackets
If bomber jackets have become the "new motos" in some ways, the funnel-neck evolution is making the modern staple even more current, with the stand collar balancing out the jacket's volume. It's a 10/10 silhouette.
Funnel-Neck Trench Coats
Every few seasons, designers like to update one element on the classic trench coat and right now that means adding a tall stand collar, usually one that can be flipped up or down depending on the look and mood.
Cinch-Waist Funnel-Neck Jackets
Lastly, cinch-waist jackets that feature a funnel neck are suddenly everywhere we look and they're quickly earning favor among the celebrity set who are opting for the modern silhouette over traditional barn jackets.
