Barn Jackets: The Surprising Outerwear Trend for Fall and Winter Barn jackets have had a resurgence this year, blending functionality with serious style. They were originally designed for farmhands and outdoor laborers, which makes these versatile jackets perfect to withstand whatever harsh conditions you throw at them. Characterized by their rugged materials, often featuring corduroy or waxed cotton, barn jackets typically feature a relaxed fit and multiple pockets, though you probably won't be carrying tools like those deep pockets intended.  The freshest way to wear a barn jacket this season is with contrasting styles. For example, instead of utilitarian cargo pants, pair a barn jacket with a sweater dress and boots or something equally sleek. However you wear the trend, you're sure to be comfortable, cute, and ready for anything.  The Picks Image courtesy of vendor Barbour Bower Waxed Jacket When you think of a classic barn jacket, it's likely Barbour comes to mind. Though pricey, these 100% waxed cotton jackets will last you years and years. We especially love the Barbour Bower style, which has a more feminine feel with a tapered middle. If a typical barn jacket feels a little too boxy for your personal style, this one's for you. $450 We independently evaluate all recommended products and services.
