6 Spring Jacket Color Trends People Are Wearing Instead of Black RN
These colors will be everywhere.
I love wearing light layers. We're so close to those days, and I'm so over heavy wool coats and puffer jackets. Spring jacket weather is almost upon us and I'm already preparing. I've noticed on Instagram some jacket color trends that I can't wait to add to my closet. Some of them are classics like a denim jacket while others are totally unexpected, but really cool.
I predict these jacket color trends will be everywhere. Influencers sporting the trend gives me the inkling that I'll soon see these jacket colors right on my block in Brooklyn, and all over the Lower East Side. Wearing a jacket over even the most basic outfit is always a styling trick I use to spice up my looks, but I tend to go with black way too often. For spring, I'm trying some new colors, and if you're open to it, I found all the jacket color trends you should try. Keep scrolling to see outfit inspiration and shop the trends.
Beige Jackets
Beige is the perfect neutral tone to play with for the warm season. It's easy to implement into your wardrobe if you don't already have this color in your closet. On a chillier spring day or night, just throw on a beige jacket over a casual outfit.
Chocolate Brown Jackets
I know chocolate brown may be known more as a winter color, but this spring is all about trying new things. If you're into wearing neutral tones, even in warm weather, chocolate brown is the best color to do that.
Green Jackets
I love an interesting, and unexpected pop of color for spring. Green, to me, means abundance, and this spring will be abundant of compliments when I wear a green jacket. It's such a fun color to express your personal style with.
White Jackets
A chic piece to wear with a simple outfit is a white jacket. This color trend is a bit unexpected, but so elegant to wear with any other colors. White jackets in various styles are just so sophisticated.
Classic Denim Jackets
Denim jackets are an Americana classic. If you are ever stuck on how to make an outfit interesting, just throw on a denim jacket. If you're wearing jeans, a denim on denim moment like the look below is always cool.
Red Jackets
A pop of red this spring is exactly what you need. If you're more of a monochromatic dresser, a jacket is an easy way to implement color into your spring wardrobe.
