Katie Holmes is always one step ahead of the trends, so of course, we’re looking to her as we build our autumn capsule wardrobes, collecting easy autumn outfit ideas to see us through the season in style.

She’s already given us tons of inspiration when it comes to wearing trench coats, but when she recently stepped out to celebrate the launch of Barbour and Tuckernuck’s new limited edition collaboration, she cemented quilted jackets as the ultimate coat trend 2025.

Stepping out in the Barbour x Tuckernuck kinsley quilt jacket, we immediately fell in love with the country-casual look of her cropped, collared style and the versatility its all black colourway offers. It’s easily one of the most wearable trends for 2025, which is perhaps why it’s nearly sold out and can currently only be snapped up in a handful of sizes. But there are a whole host of quilted coats that emulate the look of Katie’s luxe design, both from Barbour and high-street stores, to help you slot this trending style into your autumnal wardrobe.

While we associate Barbour with country living, and Katie’s jacket certainly embodies this elevated look, her outfit proves that you can layer a quilted jacket over numerous outfits to bring a little bit of the countryside to any city girl ensemble.

Speaking about the trending jacket style, woman&home’s fashion editor Rivkie Baum said, “Barn jackets have shot up in popularity in recent season's but in 2025, this silhouette is spurred on thanks to the current British Heritage trend which borrows references from country life, traditional tartans and timeless outdoorsy silhouettes for an elevated, but laidback aesthetic that's wearable all week long. Katie's Barbour jacket might be part of a limited edition collaboration, but even when Barbour collaborates, the essence of this British clothing brand shines through, meaning that if you miss out on her Tuckernuck style, you can recreate the look with one of the brand's other pieces. back.”

Chic and practical for autumn, no matter how they’re styled, quilted jackets work just as well worn alongside your favourite jeans and best knitwear as they do with more dressed-up outfits of midi skirts and blouses.

For the event, Katie styled the jacket to fit in with her laidback street style by layering it over a plain white t-shirt and an unbuttoned denim shirt. With black suit trousers and brown leather boots finishing off the outfit with a smart-casual flair, this is certainly a formula we’ll be recreating this season.
