Dressing for spring is a tricky business; we’re more than ready for sun but the changeable temperatures mean we need to be prepared for any weather the season throws our way. So what’s the answer when the climate is somewhere in between summer and winter but not quite one or the other? Transitional outerwear. We’ve picked out five of the best transitional coats and jackets to see you through spring.
The Trench
You can’t talk transitional dressing without mentioning a trench coat. They’re a style staple that never falls out of favour. They’re timeless, lightweight, and great for layering on cooler days. The Apart Short Trench Coat is a feminine update of the classic style, with a shawl collar, silky fabric and a waist defining belt. Throw this on over tailored trousers and a tunic top for instant chic.
The Bomber Jacket
Bomber jackets are big news this season, so tap into the trend with the Quilted Sweatshirt Jacket. Featuring a floral quilted pattern and ribbed neckline, cuffs and hem, this jacket blends classic styling with a modern twist. Boyfriend jeans and a t-shirt are the casual way to wear this style in chillier temperatures, but when the weather warms up, pair your bomber with a floral spring dress to capture the latest sportswear meets pretty look.
The Suede Jacket
Suede jackets are fast catching up to leather biker jackets as the wardrobe investment. This Anna Scholz Suede Leather Jacket ticks all the right boxes: super soft, rich camel shade, high quality and a super flattering shape. Styling this jacket is a breeze. When the sun is shining, pair it with a Breton top and a denim skirt, and when the temperature drops, channel the latest look with wide leg jeans and an embroidered blouse.
The Parka
Tap into this season’s biggest comeback with this Hooded Parka Jacket, complete with a hood, lightweight lining and a drawstring waist to create a feminine silhouette. This utility staple will add a laidback, on-trend edge to any outfit this season from sharp trousers and a turtle neck to floaty cotton dresses.
The Blazer
A blazer isn’t just for the office. Sharpen up your spring/summer look with this Open Front Oversize Blazer. The relaxed fit and playful peach colour give it just the right amount of casual attitude. Style it with a lightweight knit and skinny jeans at the start of the season and upgrade to shorts or culottes as summer draws closer.
