The Ultimate Guide To Wearing Peacoats With Main Character Energy
A sixties revival.
The peacoat has quietly reclaimed its place as one of 2026’s most essential outerwear pieces—structured, timeless, and unexpectedly modern again—and honestly, I’m not surprised. After years of drowning in oversized puffers and slouchy silhouettes, there’s something refreshing about a coat with actual structure again. What makes its comeback so compelling is how easily it slots into today’s aesthetic, bridging the gap between polished minimalism and the “quiet luxury” mood dominating fashion.
Social media is also fuelling the revival. On TikTok, #oldmoney and #coquettecore aesthetics are all over everyone’s feed, and the peacoat fits right in—sophisticated yet subtly rebellious. Right now, it’s almost impossible to open the app without an influencer modelling a version of this timeless piece. As more creators weave it into their outfit-of-the-day content, the coat has gone from a classic staple to a trend driver… and once fashion TikTok decides something is iconic, it doesn’t take long before it’s everywhere.
What I love most is how easy it is to style. Throw it over wide-leg trousers for that clean, tailored look, or pair it with a mini skirt and chunky boots if you want something a bit more fun. It’s one of those rare pieces that works whether you’re heading to brunch or to the office. And because it sits in that perfect middle ground—less formal than a fur coat, more elevated than your usual puffer—it just makes sense for everyday wear. Picture Alexa Chung in the 2010s, but updated for 2026: leather boots, wired headphones, and a half-drunk iced coffee in hand. The peacoat is officially the coat of the season. So whether you prefer a funnel neck or a structured wide lapel, the peacoat might just be your new best friend.
