The High-Street Jacket That All Our Editors Want Is Finally Back In Stock
There are lots of great parts of my job, like writing off time spent scrolling through the high-street new-in sections, being the first to know about new pieces and deep-diving into upcoming trends—all part of a typical day's work. But one of the bonus best bits is being surrounded by a group of people who are all just as excited and interested in fashion as I am.
Our Who What Wear UK Slack channels light up with new drops we're falling for whilst we discuss our next purchases in-depth and call on each other for style advice. And when the entire group has the same piece on their new-season wish list, it's time to take note. Right now, that's Free People's We the Free Cori Waxed Jacket (£268).
We were first introduced to the jacket at our inaugural Summer House event in June, and just as we'd all agreed on how on-trend, versatile and chic it was, it swiftly sold out. But I come with good news: the jacket all our editors are coveting is finally back in stock.
As we step into September, the new-season trends have already dropped, and a clear selection of styles is already taking off: suede pieces have been picked up by fashion insiders and celebrities alike, burgundy tones are dominating colour palettes and country jackets like Free People's are currently filling my IG feed. The first signs of the country jacket's return were seen on the A/W 24 runways, and now that the weather has turned, the practical style is back on our radars in a big way.
The Cori Waxed Jacket is available in three colours: soft ivory, bold orange and cool blue. The waxed finish is weatherproof; primed for the coming autumn days whilst offering breathability with its cotton composition. Each colourway features a contrasting corduroy collar in a deeper tonal hue, which adds to the considered design, whilst the cut is oversized to allow for layering knitwear underneath when it's really chilly. So, if you're readying your wardrobe for the new season, I advise you to consider this jacket.
Keep scrolling to see the Free People jacket all our editors love, along with more excellent country jackets.
