If the rhythmic patter of rain on the pavement is any clue, summer is officially in retreat. As the season shifts, so too must our wardrobes – and what better place to start than with an essential autumn jacket? One silhouette, in particular, has been peppering the fashion frontlines as the temperature dips, ushered in by none other than the much-whispered “Philo effect.”
When the designer stepped away from Celine after an influential decade at the helm, she infused her eponymous label with the unmistakable Philoian codes that have defined her aesthetic – clean lines, quiet confidence, and an effortless femininity. Since its debut in October 2023, the brand’s signature silhouettes have subtly seeped into the collections of other labels. But one piece, in particular, feels lifted straight from Phoebe’s playbook. Cue the funnel-neck jacket.
The funnel-neck jacket has made a strong showing on recent runways, with Stella McCartney reimagining the silhouette as a crisp white trench, complete with coordinated accessories. Chloé and Proenza Schouler also embraced the style in their own signatures, while KNWLS took a bolder approach with a longline leather version in a striking green hue. At Gucci’s spring/summer 2025 show, the high neckline was paired with a bomber silhouette and a playful mini skirt.
Characterised by a slightly cropped hem that hits just above the waist and a sculptural, cocooning collar, the funnel-neck jacket is a streamlined staple for the season. Not only does it promise warmth, but it also lends itself to that tucked-in hair look – the kind of messy French insouciance that feels perfectly undone. Often finished with high-neck buttons or the occasional 90s-inspired zip, modern iterations span everything from supple leather bombers to tailored wool-blend styles.
