Quarter Zip Jacket Get The Looks Trend 2026

Article (news)

<p>The<strong> quarter-zip</strong> has always existed quietly in the background. It lived in sportswear, weekend uniforms, and preppy closets for decades, never demanding attention. What’s changed is how fashion has decided to look at it again.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17664625376726.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><p>In <strong>Chanel’s</strong> recent <strong>Métiers d’Art 2026 </strong>show—staged in a New York subway station as a nod to urban life and the house’s artisan heritage—a quarter-zip knit emerged early in the lineup and met with curiosity at first, and then relevance. Quarter-zips were crafted in soft, tactile fabrics — cashmere blends and brushed merino — and paired with relaxed tailoring, fluid trousers, and layered under light coats. The collars were gently structured, neither too sporty nor too formal, giving each look a poised ease. Minimal detailing kept the silhouette modern, allowing texture and proportion to do the work. In a collection grounded in knitwear warmth and effortless layering, the quarter-zip became a quiet backbone, defining how the rest of the outfits were built around it.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766462574633483053970_17941895576976896_7248751069558260108_n.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><p>Off the runway, the piece moved into the world through street style and cultural moments. <strong>A</strong><strong>$AP Rocky</strong>’s work with <strong>Miu Miu </strong>spotlighted the quarter-zip beyond heritage sportswear, showing it with vivid knit pieces and a thoughtful approach to color and layering. The result made the silhouette feel current (and cool) again.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17664625606537.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>The broader context matters. Fashion has been moving toward soft tailoring, versatile separates, and pieces that feel intentional without being overdone. The quarter-zip fits that perfectly. It can be worn closed for clean structure, or open for a hint of relaxed effort. It sits well under blazers, with trousers for a polished daily outfit, or with denim for quieter weekend dressing.</div><p>In the social feeds that shape seasonal energy, the quarter-zip has caught on with a generation that values looked-together pieces with purpose. What was once pigeonholed as “prep” or maybe “finance bro” has become a baseline for style that feels both elevated and wearable.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17664625849534.png" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>You can tap into the quarter-zip trend at any price point, and the formula stays the same: clean lines, a soft knit, and an easy fit. <strong>Uniqlo’s</strong> version delivers a straightforward, everyday option that feels polished without effort, while <strong>Zara</strong> offers a slightly sharper take with modern colors that work well with tailoring or relaxed layers. <strong>Massimo Dutti </strong>sits in the middle, with a more refined knit that reads elevated but still wearable. On the luxury end, Miu Miu’s quarter-zip reflects the high-fashion styling seen on A$AP Rocky, focusing on craftsmanship and texture. The look translates easily, making it achievable without breaking the bank.</p>
