The 5 Must-Have Jacket Styles for Spring
The start of spring means storing away your heavy coats, chunky scarves, and combat boots. Breezy blouses and dresses will become your go-to pieces in a few weeks, but with the cold weather still present, a lightweight jacket is essential. With the official start of spring quickly approaching, it's time to start thinking about ways to transition your wardrobe.
Since it's still not quite warm enough to justify tees and tank dresses, we're breaking down five key jacket styles that work for in-between weather. (You know the kind: not hot but not freezing either.) Below, you'll find five spring jacket trends to wear in the coming months—all of which are just as cool as they are practical.
#1: Denim Jacket
You simply can't go wrong with a perfectly fitted denim jacket. It's incredibly versatile, plays well with other closet staples, and never goes out of style.
#2: Rain Jacket
Face those spring showers in style. A rain jacket is a must-have for those unexpected rainy days.
#3: Suede Jacket
Try swapping out your heavier leather jacket for a lighter suede (or faux suede) in spring.
#4: Bomber Jacket
There's no doubt that this is a popular jacket style for spring. Bombers are usually lightweight and go with just about any outfit.
#5: Cropped Jacket
We've had our eye on this figure-flaunting jacket since the beginning of 2018. We're looking forward to wearing it all throughout spring.
