After several seasons in which XXL scarves became the protagonists of our winter looks, jackets with funnel necks propose a much more minimalist alternative. Their structure allows wrapping the neck and creating an elegant silhouette without the need to add too many layers. A seemingly simple detail that, however, completely changes the look of a leather jacket, a blazer, or even a sports jacket.
Although we’re not facing an entirely new trend, its presence in the autumn-winter 2026/2027 collections confirms that it has come to stay. Many brands have explored different interpretations of the high, structured collars, showing that this small detail can become the true protagonist of a garment.
The funnel neck is the detail that transforms autumn jackets
In the fashion world it is also known as funnel neck or neck funnel. Unlike the classic shirt collar, this design rises around the neck and can be closed by buttons, zippers, or small metal fasteners.
Its main appeal lies in the way it alters the proportions of the garment. By directing attention to the upper part of the body, it manages to create a more defined silhouette and to impart some structure even to oversized jackets.
Additionally, it has a practical advantage particularly interesting during the cold months: when fully closed, it protects part of the neck from the wind. That said, not all models keep you warm in the same way, and on the colder days it may still be necessary to reach for a scarf.
But its success is not explained solely by a functional matter. The funnel neck has that ability to make a basic garment look much more sophisticated, especially when paired with quality fabrics and designs with clean lines.
