As an avid collector of outerwear, I will forever stand by the power of a great jacket. With the welcome arrival of autumn and a quick wardrobe audit, I’ve found I’m in need of a cosy, well-tailored piece I can rely on for longer. There are plenty to choose from, but I’m always drawn to the staying power of minimalist fashion, hence why the best Róhe jackets have been living in my mind lately.

It’s relatively easy to step into any store or scroll through a site and find a minimal, neutral-coloured jacket. What’s not as easy is finding something with these elements and an additional “it” factor. It could be the slight change in structure, the removal of a button or a change in proportions that seems quite subtle and unnameable at first but makes a jacket look so much more interesting without resorting to bright colours or bold prints. After exploring Róhe’s jacket collection, it’s something I’ve found the Amsterdam-based label excels at.

From the Mandarin Double-Faced Wool Jacket’s bold silhouette to the Reinvented Leather Funnel-Neck Jacket, which perfectly demonstrates the power of a refreshed classic, Róhe is speaking to the segment of the fashion set that loves polished minimalism. The brand achieves this unspoken appeal whilst balancing timelessness through a range of contrasts. Its site describes this quest for equilibrium: “high-end yet grounded, elegant yet practical, visionary yet structured”—and it certainly delivers on all fronts.

Not only are the wool, cashmere and leather jackets well-equipped for cold autumns and winters, but they carry a presence that leaves you feeling put-together and confident, even whilst layered up.

This likely comes down to co-founder Marieke Meulendijks’ ethos for getting dressed. She told Liberty, “My approach to building a wardrobe is the feel of empowerment. I’m more of a shy person, so for me it’s important that clothes give me a sense of calm empowerment.”
