There are plenty of jacket trends to get excited about this season, but none feel as fresh, cool, and unexpected as the windbreaker jacket. Yes, the toppers that dominated the Spring/Summer 2025 runways seemed to be ripped straight from the world of sports—offering the perfect combination of functionality and style.
And even if it isn’t forecast to rain, in materials from nylon to satin, cropped or in longline version, windbreaker jackets can make a stylish layer to wear with anything.
Embraced by several designers for this season, this humble piece took centrestage when it came to outerwear – but, importantly, was always styled in an elevated way. At Prada, bright anoraks were paired with shiny silver dresses. It was part of an elaborate tutu creation at Simone Rocha. Miu Miu, The Attico, Rabanne, and Michael Kors all gave the style a new spin, while Burberry and Vivienne Westwood presented practical waterproof parkas over eveningwear.
To really embrace this trend, avoid wearing yours with anything too casual or sporty. Instead, copy the catwalks by throwing it over your most glittering gowns or using it as a contrast to your tailoring. Who doesn’t love a comfy way to be on-trend?
