The Windbreaker Edit: The "It" Jacket of the Season

The jacket that refused to stay in the gym. It's on the runway, it's on Zendaya, it's everywhere — and we found every version you could possibly want.

The windbreaker has had a full glow-up moment and we are not complaining. What started as a functional athletic layer has become the outerwear piece of the season — reimagined by Celine, Miu Miu, and Loewe, and co-created by Zendaya herself. The best part? You don't need a luxury budget to nail this trend. We found every version, from Old Navy to Miu Miu, and they all look incredibly chic.

Stunning picks, every price point, all the right energy.

SAINT LAURENT JACKET IN COTTON — $3,400

This is the one that started it ALL. The jacket that broke the internet, kicked off the entire windbreaker conversation, and has been on every mood board, every fashion TikTok, and every "what I'd buy if money was no object" list for months. And honestly? Looking at it, we get it completely. The colorblock, the cropped silhouette, the tonal Saint Laurent logo running across the chest stripe — it is genuinely one of the most beautiful jackets. Cotton, zip-up, and somehow both athletic and impossibly luxurious at the same time. This is the piece everything else on this list is chasing. We had to include it and we're honestly just hoping it's still in stock by the time you read this. But if it's gone, or you don't want to break the bank, keep reading because we have you covered!
