Once a uniform, now a symbol of effortless cool-girl style—the military jacket has reclaimed its place as this season’s go-to jacket, spotted on Sofia Richie Grainge, Jenna Ortega, and Jodie Turner-Smith, as well as across the spring 2026 runways. Defined by the epaulettes, a standing collar, metal buttons, and an unwavering precise cut, the military jacket—once synonymous with command—is now about controlled nonchalance. And while those details remain, they’ve been reimagined for the current moment with cropped silhouettes, fresh hues, and unexpected fabrics that call on the silhouette’s utilitarian roots while fitting in with a modern wardrobe. Think of it as outerwear that adds just the right amount of authority to any look.
