The barn jacket has taken the fashion world by storm this season, and for good reason. They are incredibly versatile and are a great transitional piece that provides extra warmth while still being stylish. I don’t want to brag, but I’ve always been a fan of barn jackets. I know it’s because I work at J.Crew and the barn jacket is such an integral part of the brand’s history. And it’s a plus that they just happen to go SO well with my personal style.


One of my favorite ways to style a barn jacket as we transition into fall is with shorts. I love that this bar jacket is a little longer and when paired with my shorts, it gives a very casual vibe. When the weather is still warm, I will incorporate summery accessories like these sandals and this bag while still getting that fall look thanks to the jacket!
