Two years ago, I put the barn jacket trend to work: I would wear it to the gym, to garden with my mom, and to run every errand. As these things go, eventually other styles caught my eye, and I shoved my barn jackets to the back of my closet. Now, though, celebrities like Martha Stewart are giving it a much-deserved redemption tour for Spring 2026. Naturally, I'm so on board.
On April 9, Stewart arrived at Barbour's pop-up at Tea & Sympathy in New York City wearing the British brand's $420 barn jacket. With its deep pockets, tartan cuffs, and contrasting corduroy collar, the khaki-colored topper very much aligned with the English countryside aesthetic Barbour is known for. Underneath, she wore a brownish-burgundy leather blouse and a tea-length denim skirt. In lieu of riding boots (which might read too equestrian for casual afternoon tea in the city), the lifestyle mogul tested the burgeoning doll heels trend with a chestnut-colored platform pair.
