The New Rules of Funnel-Neck Jackets: No Suede, No Khaki, Only This Specific Style
I’ll admit it—I’ve owned more funnel-neck jackets than I care to count. Suede, khaki, nylon, even a questionable corduroy number. (We all make mistakes.) This season, though, the only version that feels right is leather. To everyone's surprise, the fashion crowd is gravitating toward leather funnel-neck jackets this season in lieu of other materials and jacket shapes. Funnel necks are familiar (the style was everywhere earlier this spring), but now that fall is here, swapping nylon or cotton-blend materials for leather changes the entire look.
A leather funnel-neck has structure, a little shine, and a lot more personality than the soft neutrals we’ve leaned on for too long. The style is the kind of piece that instantly elevates simple jeans or black leggings without trying too hard. When I spotted a few celebrities and fashion insiders across my feed adopting leather funnel jackets, it didn’t feel like another trend—it felt like the update I didn’t know my wardrobe needed.
If you’re rethinking your outerwear lineup this fall and winter, start with a leather funnel-neck jacket. The rule is simple: Skip the suede, skip the khaki, and go straight for leather. Trust me, you'll want to snatch one of these up before they sell out by the end of the month.
