Kate Middleton's cosy quilted Barbour jacket is the perfect practical yet stylish choice for brisk spring walks and you can recreate her look with one that's on sale right now.
When it comes to the best Barbour jackets, the Princess of Wales has got several stunning designs in her collection. Practical yet stylish, Barbour jackets are the epitome of countryside chic and whilst the waxed jackets are incredibly iconic, Kate’s quilted Barbour jacket is an equally fabulous choice. She’s worn her Longshore jacket for several outdoor-based engagements and if you’ve ever been tempted to invest in a quilted Barbour jacket yourself there’s never been a better time.
Whilst her exact one is sadly not available anymore, the very similar Barbour Blencarn Quilted Jacket is now reduced from £169.95 to £135.96 at Outdoor and Country.
Just like the Princess of Wales’s padded Barbour jacket this one is a stunning navy blue shade that adds a splash of colour to an outfit whilst still being very neutral and easy-to-wear. The orange Barbour branding on the front also mirrors the orange detailing that was on Kate’s Longshore jacket and both have gorgeous quilting.
Whilst Kate’s was in a chevron design, the Blencarn Quilted Jacket has a stunning combination of chevron and horizontal quilting to it.
The jacket zips up into a funnel neck for maximum coverage in chilly weather and the side seam pockets accentuate the Barbour Blencarn jacket’s practicality. This is the perfect choice if you want something a little lighter than your best winter coats as the weather gradually starts to get a bit warmer.
Simply throw over your favourite jumpers and leggings with a pair of your best walking shoes for a brisk spring walk in the great outdoors or even layer over shirts and jeans when you head out on chillier days for a more smart-casual look.
Kate’s quilted Barbour jacket has often been her go-to outerwear piece for engagements in recent years, including when she visited Scotland with Prince William in 2021. The Princess of Wales hit the beach for a land yachting session in St Andrews and looked stylish yet warm in her Barbour jacket, jeans and sturdy boots.
Her Highness also wore this versatile jacket for a football training session during a visit to the National Stadium in Belfast in 2019. On this occasion she went for a slightly more relaxed outfit with a pair of simple black leggings and a white cricket-style jumper underneath. She's also worn it with similar outfits in County Durham and North Wales too.
