If you're an avid weather app checker like I am, you may have noticed that our regularly scheduled sunshine has been put on hold for the minute. In between the bright days, grey skies have settled over London, and I've finally accepted that it's time to look for a great jacket to see me through the cooler days and well into autumn.
The start of my search began where it always does—considering which style of jacket will be the most timeless and still feel contemporary. Quickly, I settled on the beloved barn jacket that continues to be a go-to for stylish people, and just as I came to that conclusion, Whistles re-released its best-selling jacket of last year. This time, I'm not letting it pass me by.
Roomy, cosy and with a classic appeal, this is the kind of jacket that you add to your wardrobe and find yourself reaching for time and time again. Available in both light beige and black colourways, it can easily be paired with the staple neutrals in your wardrobe, as well as bolder shades. The design nods to classic barn jackets, with a contrasting corduroy collar, and bold pockets that bring together style and function.
The exterior is composed of 100% cotton and emulates the timeless waxed styles we see year after year. And Whistles brings this quintessential jacket into a modern place with a slightly oversized silhouette. It's worth noting that the sleeves don't follow this oversized effect, with a regular length, which is a nice touch. Here, I sized down as I did for the beloved Clean Bonded Leather Jacket, but here I'd recommend taking your regular size.
Inside, the jacket is padded for extra warmth for those cooler autumn days. The jacket secures with both a zip and poppers, keeping the wearer dry even in a downpour. Adding to the thoughtful design details are the bold front pockets, which have both a slip pocket and patch pockets, the latter of which close with a magnet to secure your most treasured possessions.
