6 Spring 2023 Jacket Trends Every Insider Is Wearing
We’ve reached the onset of spring, which means it will soon be time to store away all of your heavy winter coats and swap them out for jackets. Looking to the fashion set, there are already a set of jacket trends that are taking over in 2023, which are inspired by the latest runway collections, new designer drops, and trends that are unfolding on the street style scene.
Some of the latest trends are ones we’ve been seeing on the rise throughout the past few seasons. Among them, styles like aviator jackets that are getting cool new tweaks for 2023. Other trends, such as the return of the peplum jacket, are more unexpected but just as noteworthy. So, what are the top spring jacket trends to own in 2023? Ahead, the six that are making our shortlist and the best pieces to add to your shopping cart to test-drive them yourself.
Aviator Jackets
One of the runaway jacket trends for spring 2023? Aviator jackets. Khaite helped solidify the trend with their cult style that is sold out practically everywhere, but there are many brands offering up cool styles this season with details such as plush shearling collars.
Floral Appliqué Jackets
Rosettes and floral appliqués are one of the defining trends for the S/S 23 collections, so it comes as no surprise that the detail is infused into jackets this season.
Peplum Jackets
Peplum jackets are a controversial trend but no matter what your take on the style is, they are without a doubt back. Brands including Liberowe have luxe velvet styles for spring, and we're already seeing the trend continue into the F/W 23 collections, so I expect to see this even more through the end of the year.
Faux Fur Jackets
Fuzzy, faux fur jackets are around every year but they feel particularly noteworthy right now. This is something better suited for late winter and the early days of spring, so now is the time to wear it.
Boxy Jackets
Polished, boxy jackets are a classic jacket shape that is on the rise. Brands including Celine and Chanel have timeless designs in their collections each season that fashion insiders have been snapping up in a major way recently. Style them with jeans to make them feel modern.
Bomber Jackets
We've been seeing bomber jackets trending since last year and they aren't showing signs of slowing down. There is a wide range of styles on the market from distressed leather to puffy, padded versions.
