Happy Thursday, ladies! Can you believe we’re almost into November already? As we settle deeper into fall, I wanted to dedicate today’s post to the one and only barn jacket-a true autumn staple that never goes out of style. I still remember heading to high school in my J.Crew barn jacket nearly 20 years ago, and wouldn’t you know, it’s still as relevant today as ever. So, let’s talk about how to style this beloved jacket for fall.

Barn Jackets for Fall: The Timeless Fall Essential
classic and traditional
The barn jacket has roots dating back to the late 19th century. Originally designed for durability and practicality, it was often worn by farmers and factory workers. Over time, however, this piece transitioned into the fashion world, becoming a symbol of Americana and utility.
For a more classic look, today I styled my L.L. Bean barn jacket with a pair of jeans, a neutral sweater, and suede boots. I added a belt and headband for fun, versatile accessories. When it comes to pairing a barn jacket with jeans, you really can’t go wrong-it’s a timeless combination.

dare to be bold
Fashion, for me, is exciting because it’s constantly evolving, and there are countless ways to push boundaries. Want to be bold with your barn jacket? You can mix it up by pairing it with a skirt and tights, corduroy pants, or riding leggings. Don’t shy away from vibrant colors either! Fashion should be fun, and if we always play it safe, where’s the excitement?
Who says skirts are just for Spring and Summer?! With a barn jacket layered, a pair of tights and a good boot you are good to go!

Barn jackets, to me, represent the ultimate neutral piece. With their versatile palette, you have the freedom to add more flair through your accessories. So, have fun with it and choose pieces that bring you joy! Whether it’s a statement bag, bold earrings, a striking necklace, or a fabulous belt, there’s no wrong way to accessorize. The key is to express your personality and make the look uniquely yours!
