It’s True: These Are the Chic Jacket Colour Trends People Are Wearing in 2025

I don't know about you, but I'm seeing jackets I want everywhere I look.

Winter's grip is finally loosening, and with the arrival of milder temperatures, our wardrobes are shifting accordingly. Heavy coats are being swapped for something lighter, more transitional and—crucially—more fun. But it's not just jacket trends I'm interested in, but more specifically, jacket colour trends for 2025.

Whether it's a structured blazer, a cropped bomber or an oversized denim style, standout jackets will be the hero items of early 2025. And whilst neutral staples will always have their place, I've noticed a significant shift towards colour this season. From the streets of London (where the temperature has finally crept above single digits) to fashion week front rows, bold shades are back.

Colour played a major role in the spring/summer 2025 collections, with designers like Valentino, Bottega Veneta and Stella McCartney leaning into high-impact shades. Powder pinks, fiery reds and rich greens took centre stage, styled in ways that felt both wearable and aspirational. At Valentino, vibrant monochrome suiting was championed, whilst Bottega's former creative director, Matthieu Blazy, made a case for muted pastels in leather. This runway influence is already trickling down to the everyday wardrobe, and jackets are an accessible way to tap into the trend.

I'm usually one to stick to classic camel, navy or black outerwear, but even I've found myself drawn to the wave of colourful jackets taking over my social feeds and favourite brands. And I'm not alone—whether it's a yellow tailored blazer over a simple jeans-and-tee combo or a red bomber layered with casual separates, fashion people are betting on bright jackets for spring.

To make embracing the jacket colour trends 2025 as effortless as possible, below I've curated five standout looks featuring the hues I've seen everywhere. From sage greens to bright oranges, these pieces feel fresh, elevated, and, most importantly, easy to incorporate into your existing wardrobe.

1. Red

Style Notes: Red is the ultimate confidence-boosting shade, and this season, it's being reimagined in jacket form. Designers like Prada and Ferragamo incorporated the fiery hue into tailored outerwear that instantly makes an impact. Whether worn with denim for a casual edge or layered over a sleek midi dress in a contrasting shade, this is one colour that demands attention. For a modern take, pair it with relaxed joggers and a tee to let the colour take centre stage. Alternatively, lean into the statement with matching red pieces for a full monochrome moment—very Valentino-approved.

2. Green

Style Notes: Green is one of those colours that quietly makes an impact. My favourite hue on the green spectrum is sage, and this muted, earthy shade offers a fresh take that's both subtle and stylish. Ideal for those who want to dip into colour without going too bold, a sage jacket pairs so well with neutrals or deeper forest greens. A sage bomber or utility jacket looks particularly good with dark-wash denim.

3. Yellow

Style Notes: Aligne's yellow Daphne blazer is a fashion-person favourite, and it's easy to see why. Blurring the lines between a blazer and a lightweight jacket, this piece taps into the dopamine-dressing mood without being overpowering. Spotted in softer butter yellows at Stella McCartney and brighter iterations at Versace, yellow is a key for spring. It can feel intimidating, but when styled with classic denim and neutral accessories, it becomes surprisingly wearable. A boxy blazer keeps things contemporary and pairs well with everything from tailored trousers to wide-leg jeans.

4. Orange

Style Notes: Orange might not be the first colour that comes to mind when you're thinking about investing in a jacket, but trust me: it's having a major moment. During fashion month, I spotted several showgoers layering orange denim jackets over monochrome outfits, giving their looks a fresh, playful feel. This shade works particularly well in textured fabrics like denim and suede, making it an ideal choice for those wanting to experiment with colour in a low-maintenance way. The key to wearing an orange denim jacket? Keep the rest of your outfit simple. Think classic blue jeans, a white tee and a contrasting accessory to tie everything together.

5. Pink

Style Notes: Pink is no longer just a frilly shade—it's a statement colour with serious impact. If you took just one thing from the S/S 25 shows, it should be that powder pink will be the colour of the season, and this extends to outerwear. Whether you lean towards soft pastels or something more saturated, a pink jacket adds a touch of playfulness to any look. For a balanced approach, mix pink with relaxed tailoring or casual denim.
