Barn jackets as the leading workwear element achieve “class jump”

Beginning in the 19th century, barn jackets became popular among French workers and farmers. As a work jacket known for its practicality, barn jackets are mostly made of wear-resistant twill, with a waterproof wax coating and a warm corduroy collar and lining, as well as multiple practical deep pockets. This ancient boxy jacket has long been popular in the holiday wardrobes of British royals such as Queen Elizabeth II, and has become a symbol of old money style for some time. In the process of barn jackets entering the fashion field, Prada undoubtedly took the lead in gaining the right to speak. On the 24SS show, the light curves of women’s clothing alternated with the straight and wide silhouette of oversized barn jackets. The distressed elements of the neckline and hem were used as recognizable elements, showing an elegant combination of non-workwear styles, which won the favor of a number of stylists.
