The Barn Jacket and Plaid Skirt

Straight from a stroll through the countryside to Burberry’s fall 2025 runway, comes the pairing of a quilted, corduroy-collared barn jacket and the brand’s checked kilt. It’s a duo equally at home on winding muddy paths or windy city streets. Finish the look with Uniqlo’s cashmere scarf and Ben Bridge’s stud earrings for a touch of understated polish.

The Fair Isle Sweater Leather Pants

Tap into winter’s charm with a hint of downtown edge. Alex Mill’s cream Fair Isle cardigan, is as fitting for hot cocoa by the fire as it is for a glass of wine at the Waverly Inn. Layer it over Reformation’s striped shirt and Frame’s caramel leather pants for printed contrast. JW Anderson’s loafers ground the look with polished ease.

The Trench Coat and Combat Boots

Once military garb, then the stuff of cinematic legend, no coat has a richer legacy than the trench. Burberry’s forest-green iteration offers a fresh take on the classic. Style it with Khaite’s dark-wash denim and J. Crew’s layered sweater, then anchor the look with Malone Soulier’s combat boots for practicality.
