Victoria Beckham Just Re-Wore Her Favourite Cargo Jacket in Paris

published 27 February 2024

There are many ways to describe Victoria Beckham: designer, style icon and international pop star all spring to mind. But one thing I was sure she wasn't is an outfit repeater, so I was pleasantly surprised to see her shopping her own wardrobe on her recent trip to Paris.

Beckham stepped out in a wet-weather-ready outfit comprising a cargo-style jacket in a deep olive shade with a full hood and cinch-waist detail. Ideal for the early spring days that often bring heavy and unpredictable showers, the trusty cover-up nods to the growing olive colour trend whilst tapping into a utilitarian theme. Having previously been spotted in the jacket for a trip to the airport, Beckham wore her current favourite outerwear item again with a pair of hybrid leggings-boots from Balenciaga, maintaining a minimal and sleek silhouette, as per her signature style.

Appearing over the S/S '24 runways, khaki jackets were picked up at Prada, JW Anderson, Sacai, and of course, Victoria Beckham. Styling well with tonal layers, knee-high socks and hardy loafers, it seems the parka-adjacent piece, which was once a staple in every woman's wardrobe during the 2010s, is set for a revival this spring.

Whilst Beckham chose to style hers with black leggings and beige heels (alongside a pair of crutches and a surgical boot thanks to her broken foot), the spring jacket would also look super chic worn with straight-leg jeans or trending loose-leg track pants.

Whilst Victoria Beckham's exact jacket from her namesake brand isn't available for purchase just yet, I've rounded up the best spring jackets in a similar palette available to shop now.
