Chic, practical and iconic: Kate Middleton’s favorite Barbour jacket has become a must-have. Good news, we found an almost identical alternative at a low price.
For decades, the British brand Barbour has been the benchmark for jackets and coats. Queen Elizabeth II was an avid follower, as were King Charles III and Princess Sophie. Kate Middleton, for her part, breathed new life into these iconic waxed cotton jackets. Often seen wearing the Beadnell model during her outdoor activities, the Princess of Wales perfectly exemplifies the balance between comfort and style.
This piece was designed to withstand bad weather thanks to its waxed material and practical details: structured shoulders, velvet-lined stand-up collar and large flap pockets. Priced at 250 euros, it is one of the most sustainable investments in the field. But, we understand, not everyone has this budget to put into a jacket. This is why major brands are now offering stunning alternatives. Among them, a recent find caught our attention: a jacket that offers the same classic look with coated cotton and a structured finish. Perfect for facing wet seasons, it rivals the original version at a fraction of the price. A great opportunity for those looking to adopt the royal style without splurging.
To get your hands on this perfect copy, head to H&M, where a waxed twill jacket with a very similar design is currently on sale for 59.99 euros. It is distinguished by a slightly matte finish, a high collar and precise pockets reminiscent of the original. Moreover, by searching carefully, you can find other similar models in stores like Zara or Mango, sometimes at even more competitive prices during sales. However, the model in question at H&M seems to be a great success.
Pairing perfectly with jeans, boots and a scarf for a casual winter look, the Barbour faux jacket is one of those essential pieces in any wardrobe, so indulge!
