Drawstring Jackets Are Taking Over For Spring 2025

After a long, cold winter, we wouldn't blame you if, like us, you are ready to ditch your puffer jackets and winter coats for a lighter spring coverup. From classic options like barn jackets and trench coats, there is something for everyone.

However, drawstring jackets are already filling my instagram feed and spring has only just begun. Seen on the Spring/Summer 2025 catwalks at Miu Miu and Gucci, this elevated coverup features drawstring detailing to create a nipped in silhouette.

While some brands have opted for a voluminous shape by leaving the drawstring at the hemline, others have added a drawstring at the waist to create a peplum effect.

The popularity of this design comes as no surprise with cinched-in silhouettes continuing to be sartorial hit with fashion insiders for the last couple of seasons.

Easy to style and a great option for daily use, drawstring jackets come in various different colours, textures, and fabrics. From leather to glossy PVC, the choice is yours. Simply add a pair of 90s straight-leg jeans, flats, and a sleek handbag to complete the look.

Below, we have rounded up our top investment styles for the new season.
