Design features and fabric choices

The style combines a rounded, gathered shape with an elasticized or drawstring waistline. Designers are using canvas, cotton twill, and gabardine to create a roomy yet function-minded silhouette. This utilitarian look dates back to early 20th century military flight jackets.

Runway appearances this season

Chanel presented the jacket alongside skirt suits under creative director Matthieu Blazy. Stella McCartney and Dries Van Noten also included versions in their collections. Saint Laurent showed variations earlier during its Spring 2026 presentation.

Off runway availability

Prada currently sells vintage-effect blousons to the public market. Miu Miu offers washed and garment-dyed gabardine versions of the jacket. The trend has moved from the runway to retail stores.
