5 Spring Jacket Trends Every Fashion Person Is Wearing This Season
The temps are warming up, and by now, you've probably banished your heavy-duty coats to the back of your closet (ciao for now, puffers), and you're ready to shop for some lightweight jackets that you can throw on over your spring outfits. I'm talking toppers that are not only suitable for the unpredictable spring weather but also—and perhaps most importantly to us fashion folks—feel altogether on-trend for spring 2024.
If you need a little guidance as to what spring jackets to invest in this season, then this one's for you. From classic and reliable trench coats to sumptuous suede toppers and cool country barn jackets, below I've listed five styles that are going to dominate this season and beyond. Keep scrolling to shop all our favorite styles—there's something for every budget.
Spring-Forward Suede
Sumptuous, lightweight suede jackets have been all over the fashion set this spring, and we've been completely enamored with shirt-jackets, in particular, ever since we laid eyes on this Toteme topper. For a spring-forward look, opt for one in tan, pale yellow, or ecru.
Shop:
Classic Trench Coat
When it comes to spring outerwear, it doesn't get more quintessential than a trench coat. Timeless and classic, a chic trench will always be a sensible and stylish topper to invest in—a perennial favorite in every fashion person's wardrobe. Look for elevated details such as a car-coat collar or a chic scarf/cape trench, but of course, you simply can't go wrong with a classic silhouette.
Shop:
Barn Jacket
Thanks to Prada's S/S 24 collection, the barn jacket has been a hot topic of conversation among us fashion editors, and we've seen the fashion set embrace the workwear-inspired silhouette in full force. There are plenty of cool iterations this season from the likes of Zara and Everlane featuring of-the-moment details such as leather collars and oversize silhouettes. You also simply can't go wrong with a royal-loved Barbour. Style with a sheer skirt and pumps to lean into the Prada look.
Shop:
Uptown Bouclé Jacket
If you're looking for a rich, polished, or perfectly put-together outfit, then a bouclé or tweed jacket deserves a spot in your wardrobe this spring. The silhouette oozes Chanel vibes and is the perfect piece for the boardroom, the bar, and everything in between.
Shop:
Minimalist Leather Jacket
A leather jacket is the perfect option for spring—it'll keep you warm on the cooler days, and you can easily throw one over a dress or skirt once the temps start to rise for an instantly cool look. This season, we're seeing minimalist silhouettes, in particular, reign supreme. Forget heavy-duty buckles, complicated pockets and such, and instead opt for sleeker leather iterations that ooze a luxe elegance.
