The Military Jacket Is Back On Duty

Every year, as the cold begins to creep in, the emergence of a new trending statement jacket follows close behind. This Fall, the military jacket has officially made a triumphant return.

Back in 2025, Jenna Ortega wore a military drummer vest to Dior's Spring/Summer 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week. It was also around that time that Sofia Richie Grainge showed off her pregnant belly in an unbuttoned military jacket at Vogue World. Then, the references were seemingly endless. Designers like Ann Demuelemeester's Stefano Gallici sent countless military jackets down the runwa for the brand's Fall/Winter 2026 show. Gallici's military jackets featured intricate yellow frogging, broad shoulders, distinct button details, plus pipping and colored trim.

The frog closure, a decorative braided fastener, was popular on Khaite's Fall/Winter 2026 runway, too. Leather jackets, wool jackets, and even semi-sheer button up tops featured this detail, paying homage to the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

Elsewhere, Keburia's Fall/Winter 2026 runway was military jacket central, offering numerous color-ways, and pieces that paid homage to the past, as well as pieces that put a modern spin on the traditional style—a cream military jacket with fur trimmed sleeves and a fur trimmed collar, for example.

With celebrities like Dua Lipa embracing the trend and opening our eyes to their styling potential, all of team Coveteur is officially adding military jackets to our shopping carts.
