Low-Key, Harry Styles is My Spring Style Icon—I'm Going to Wear His Latest Jacket Trend This Week

Lately, no matter what I put in the morning, I seem to get it wrong. We’ve moved past wool coat season, yet the gusty winds make going without a layer impractical. Step into the sun, and suddenly, you’re too warm. And don’t even get me started on office air-conditioning—shivering through the morning, then overheating by the afternoon. Dressing for spring feels like an impossible balancing act.

Silently struggling, I had resigned myself to this uncomfortable way of life for the next few months—that was until I spotted the solution. Stepping out for a stroll in central London, Harry Styles donned a look I can only describe as spring-styling perfection.

The look was simple. Styles started with a pair of black trousers that he casually cuffed to expose the glossy hue of his chocolate brown loafers. All very chic. But what really got my attention was the dark blue chore jacket he wore fastened over his outfit, collar popped just so.

The undone ease! The lightweight practicality! The washed blue shade! It's giving off-duty French fisherman, and it's the answer to my spring dressing dilemma. With its simple button-down fastening and straight-cut silhouette, this easy jacket trend will help to enliven the simple tees and tanks I reach for across the season. Just as versatile in my own wardrobe as it is in Styles’, I’ll be taking my styling cues straight from the man himself, pairing it with tailored black trousers and loafers for everyday wear, then throwing it over breezy dresses once summer rolls in.

If, like me, you’ve been struggling to crack the spring layering code, consider this your sign to invest in a chore jacket. Shop my top picks below.
