Not every seasonal trend calls for a head-to-toe look. Industry trend singles out the deep turn-up cuff as one of the simpler ideas: turn the sleeve back to show the inside. The one condition is that the lining must contrast with the outer fabric, which is why reversible coats suit the trend well.
The global examples in the roundup span price points and jacket types. They include The Frankie Shop’s Rimont shirt jacket, ASOS Design’s oversized denim jacket with a check-print cuff, and Damson Madder’s reversible trench in gingham. Aligne offers a reversible trench in lime green, and Nobody’s Child a navy tartan-trim country jacket.
Indian labels already sell the construction the trend depends on. O’Frida’s Hari Reversible Trench Jacket, sold through Canvas & Weaves, is an anti-fit trench in Bemberg muslin with gathered sleeves, a hand-painted striped print and floral embroidery, made to order in India. Snitch lists a fully reversible dual-tone technical jacket in grey and black, in water-resistant polyester with a ribbed collar, cuff and hem and a taffeta lining. Rare Rabbit’s men’s solid reversible bomber jacket is listed through Lifestyle stores.
Contrast linings are the other route. I Was a Sari’s bomber jacket comes with a contrast sari-print lining and collar flip. The jackets are made from saris collected in Mumbai markets, so each is a limited-edition piece. Asuka Couture’s embroidered bomber jackets have linings selected, and sometimes printed, for each jacket, while the ribbed cuffs and collar are made to match or contrast the body fabric. Adam Leaves lists women’s trench coats in natural fibres, including a style with a 100% silk shell and a cotton-satin lining.
In menswear, The Bear House lists shackets, an overshirt-jacket hybrid, in cotton, flannel and corduroy. This is the category closest to the Rimont shirt jacket in the global roundup.
None of these listings mentions turning up the cuff. The link to the trend is the reversible or contrast-lined build that makes the gesture visible.
The turn-up cuff is a styling gesture rather than a new silhouette, so existing reversible and contrast-lined jackets already qualify. That gives brands an angle for outerwear they carry now, particularly in the transitional weeks the roundup describes.
The Indian examples above also put design on the inside of the garment. That includes a hand-painted print, a sari-print lining and a lining chosen or printed for each jacket. Where a cuff is turned back, the lining becomes the visible detail, which suits labels working with prints, embroidery and upcycled textiles.
