It’s time to put the heavy coats away, and swap them out for something a little lighter. This season, a swingy spring jacket will add that special something to your outfits. From cropped trenches to funnel-neck windbreakers, shop our favorites now.
When I think spring jackets, I think of a trench coat. But instead of the usual longer version, swap in a cropped version! I love the dramatic swing of this Aritzia Esquire coat. The proportions of the coat mean it adds balance to a straighter leg pant, and the shorter length will work with more oversized silhouettes too! On the pricier end, Ralph Lauren’s balloon twill coat has the perfect amount of slouch with a slightly longer hem. I also love the 70’s-inspired collar.
One of the fresher jacket silhouettes I’ve seen this season is a funnel necked windbreaker. A high-neck is always chic, but the contrast of the athletic fabric and a more structured trouser or long skirt looks so chic. Aritizia’s Oculus jacket in a tawny beige is a perfect example! I love the way they styled it with white trousers. Throw on a long, tassel necklace and leather flip flops and you’ll be best dressed wherever you’re going. Lululemon’s sky blue version and Everlane’s white nylon option also scratch the same itch.
In fact, a spring jacket is an easy way to inject a little unexpected color into your wardrobe. A denim jacket gets an electric blue update in this La Ligne cropped jacket. While it’s a strong color, the blue is more versatile than you think! The lady jacket is still going strong, but it gets tweaked a bit in this J.Crew version. A tighter fit and an interesting green color make it a little less lady, and a little bit cooler. It’s a great match with this season’s balloon jeans or oversized pants.
