The jacket, a look back at the must-have piece for winter 2025

The “vareuse”, an old Breton sailor’s and fisherman’s garment, is making a comeback in 2025 as a key winter fashion item. Revamped by leading fashion houses, this knitted sweater combines comfort and sophistication.

A trend inspired by nautical aesthetics

With the return of boat shoes and an omnipresent navy aesthetic, the vareuse is making its way into our wardrobe. Popularized by Coco Chanel as early as 1917, it left the decks of ships to become part of French bourgeois style. Today, houses such as Chanel and Miu Miu are reinterpreting this iconic piece.

At Chanel, the jacket is available belted, immaculate or adorned with transparent details. Miu Miu opts for a blue and white model featuring the house’s emblematic letters. For its part, Gucci revisits the jacket with couture details, such as rhinestones adorning a wide collar, worn with jeans for a chic, modern look.

The cardigan, an essential sweater for the season

For winter 2025, the jacket is abandoning its traditional cotton canvas in favor of materials like soft knitwear, which combines style and warmth. Whether for a casual outfit or a sophisticated look, it remains a versatile piece, perfect for day or night.
