Over the past two or so years, barn jackets have risen to the top of the pack for outerwear trends, and they’re still going strong for 2025. But fans of the British royal family know this classic workwear style has been a staple in many a Windsor’s wardrobe for decades now. Luckily, you don’t have to have a royal budget to get the royal look, as we found an incredibly chic style from Old Navy that’s giving major Princess Catherine vibes for just $60.

Old Navy

Old Navy’s canvas barn jacket looks so much like the royal-approved Barbour styles, but for a fraction of the cost. It has that classic corduroy collar, a front placket dotted with gold snaps and deep front pockets ideal for stowing the essentials (phone, wallet, keys) for a quick errand run—or traipse around your country grounds. Plus, it’s made of a sturdy canvas material, a blend of cotton and spandex, to provide ample protection from gusts of wind and chilly autumn weather.

Add to that the fact that is comes in three totally timeless colors—heritage green (pictured here), chocolate kiss and antique rose—and you’ve got yourself a must-have fall wardrobe staple if I’ve ever seen one. It even comes in sizes XS to 4X, as well as petite and tall lengths, so nearly everyone can get in on the trend.

This phenomenal Old Navy find may not have the same water- or weatherproofing as a pricier Barbour jacket à la Middleton’s, but it’ll still keep you warm all while looking mighty cute. If you want to style it like a royal, I suggest pulling on some skinny jeans tucked into Wellies or riding boots, and layering a cozy turtleneck underneath. P.S. Reviewers say the oversized design is definitely roomy enough to comfortably fit thinner knits underneath, so no need to size up when ordering.

Now all that’s left to do is decide which color you want to snap up and start styling ASAP.
