There’s a moment each year, when the air shifts almost imperceptibly, drawing our attention instinctively to the outermost layer. As autumn sets in, no wardrobe hero gets more wear than our outerwear and in 2026, there’s one style dominating trends: the funnel neck jacket.
Defined by a high collar that rises to graze the jaw and a softly structured body, it’s a silhouette that feels at once protective and refined.
Functional in its warmth yet sculptural in its finish, it’s plain to see why the funnel neck style is becoming fashion’s favourite outerwear.
Its momentum is well-documented on the runway. At Saint Laurent’s Fall/Winter 2025 show, the silhouette was impossible to ignore — almost every look featured a funnel neck, paired with pencil skirts for a precise, sculptural effect that felt at once austere and deeply modern.
At Khaite’s Spring/Summer 2026 show during New York Fashion Week, the brand continued its long relationship with the style, presenting oversized iterations in dark leather and mustard shearling that leaned into utility without sacrificing polish. Altuzarra echoed the sentiment at the same NYFW season, offering its own dark leather funnel neck forms alongside equally considered outerwear.
At Chloé, newly appointed creative director Chemena Kamali proposed a softer take for Spring/Summer 2025 — pastel-toned, puff-sleeved and still distinctly high-collared, reinforcing the style’s range beyond its more structured iterations. Brandon Maxwell offered a cropped beige version for the same season, proof that the silhouette translates just as easily to transitional dressing as it does to the depths of winter.
When it comes to styling the piece, take your cues from the catwalk. Designers have made a strong case for pairing it with tailored trousers, keeping everything beneath it minimal and letting the jacket’s high collar replace the formality of a crisp shirt. With denim, the contrast between structure and ease is precisely the point. And for its most elevated expression, follow Saint Laurent’s FW25 lead and tuck it into a midi skirt for a silhouette that feels sculptural without trying.
