While a boxy jacket with pockets aplenty never really went out of style, one can arguably pinpoint the catalyst for the latest trending moment as Prada's spring/summer '24 runway, where model after model wore perfectly distressed outerwear trimmed with leather and corduroy collars. The movement was bolstered by the frequent appearance of the utilitarian style on street stylers too. Ever since then, the workwear jacket has been steadily rising on our wish lists – and we can now comfortably name is the most south-after outerwear for the season.
Vogue Scandinavia's top tip when investing in your own utilitarian style jacket? Opt for an oversized fit, allowing for a hoodie or sweater to be worn underneath. And don't be afraid to take to the menswear sections when looking for your one true match.
Below, our curated edit of 14 of the best workwear jackets to tap the trend now.
