Dua Lipa’s Jacket Is the Wealthy-Look Fashion Choice Over Blazers This Autumn

I apologize to my denim shorts and linen layers, but I’ve grown quite bored of summer outfits. Eager to wrap myself in something cozier, I’ve been eyeing a particular must-have item that’s been on my mind for months.

Effortlessly stylish and casual, not to mention weather-proof, country jackets are making a statement this season. Dua Lipa was recently seen sporting this trend during a seaside walk on the English coast. She paired her well-loved jacket with knee-high wellies and black shorts. Her outfit seamlessly adapted to the fluctuating early-autumn weather, all while maintaining a chic silhouette that only further convinced me to snag one for myself.

Dua Lipa isn’t the only one embracing the country jacket trend. Autumn/winter runway shows were full of utilitarian styles, and the jacket is now dominating store displays. Practical, comfortable, and great for layering over a warm knit as temperatures drop, the country jacket is destined to be a must-have item this season.

Characterized by a hip-grazing design, a sharp pointed collar, and multiple spacious pockets, the country jacket provides a drizzle-proof and elegant alternative to a wool coat or rain jacket for lengthy autumn walks. Despite its countryside heritage, the jacket exudes a posh vibe that elevates any ensemble it accompanies.

While UK fashion aficionados are likely well-acquainted with heritage brand Barbour, known for crafting elegant country jackets for over a century, high street brands are also offering chic interpretations this year.

From wax jackets to cotton styles and quilted versions, there are plenty of options to explore. For those eager to get their hands on this season’s hottest trend, here are some of the best country jackets available:

Mango’s Contrast Collar Jacket for £60 is a steal and expected to sell out quickly. Arket offers a Quilted Jacket at £169, perfect for early autumn’s drizzly days. Barbour continues to be a favorite with their Hutton Corduroy-Trimmed Coated-Cotton Jacket priced at £220. We The Free introduces the Cori Waxed Jacket at £268, which comes in three different shades.

Everlane’s The Barn Jacket, priced at £168, features oversized pockets ideal for long countryside strolls. Another noteworthy pick from Barbour is the Gunnerside Paneled Cotton-Canvas, Denim, and Corduroy Jacket, available for £300. The contrasting gingham lining is revealed when you roll up the cuffs.

& Other Stories offers a Loose Duffle Jacket at £165, also available in black, while Barbour’s Gosford Cotton-Blend Corduroy-Trimmed Padded Quilted Shell Jacket is priced at £150 and lightly padded for extra warmth.

For those willing to splurge, Prada’s Oversized Canvas Jacket, available for £2350, sits at the top of every fashionista’s wish list. Toteme’s Oversized Cotton Twill Jacket, at £500, is perfect for their elevated basics collection.
