7 Of The Best Spring Jacket Trends You’ll Want to Shop Right Now
It feels like spring has finally sprung with the hotter weather many of us have been enjoying over the past couple of weeks. There's no better feeling than retiring your chunky winter coat selection, however, it often leaves the question of — what do I wear now?
Transeasonal dressing can be tricky to nail, but having a decent spring jacket (especially when living in the UK) is the key to pulling it all together.

There are so many trends flying around that it can often be difficult to filter through the noise. So whether you're looking to try something new or double down on a wardrobe staple, we've outlined seven of the best different jacket styles to try for spring.
Denim
This might be the most obvious of choices, but you can't beat a classic. A denim jacket goes with almost anything, and is the perfect weight for warmer temperatures. Embrace the Canadian tuxedo look by pairing with jeans, or throw over a floral dress for a hippie-inspired approach.

Windbreaker
Miuccia Prada has single-handedly re-invented the cagoule with her recent designs for both Miu Miu and Prada. The style-set have been pairing them with ultra-feminine sequin skirts and summer dresses for a mash-up practical glamour look. Who are we to argue?

Bomber
Bomber jackets are always in style. Heritage brand Alpha Industries' are always reversible, featuring a bright orange lining, meaning that you can easily mix up your look depending on your mood. Opt for a style with a fur-trim hood, like this Balenciaga option, for a more trend-led take. You'll appreciate the warmth in the evening.

Bouclé
In case you haven't heard, boom boom fashion is the latest trend to take our wardrobes by storm. Bouclé jackets, once reserved for ladies who lunch, are now being worn with jeans, hoodies and everything in between, for a youthful take on a traditional item. Decorative buttons will add an extra glam factor to your look.

Leather
If you don't have a leather jacket in your wardrobe already, now is the time to add one. We've already taken style notes from Aimee Lou Wood's recent outings, but this Nour Hammond jacket she's wearing really caught our eye. A boxy shape featuring zips can add a tough edge to any outfit, especially when layered with a ladylike button-down cardigan. Allow us to also recommend opting for a second-hand style here — Rokit Vintage always have a great selection of perfectly worn-in leather pieces.

Barn
Barn jackets are the trend that just won't let up, and it's easy to see why. Characterised by their durable canvas or cotton fabric with a contrasting collar, these have become a must-have item amongst the style set. They're super practical, with Barbour's waxed cotton styles being water repellant, and the multiple pockets mean you can forgo a bag and travel light.

Parka
Largely associated with Britpop bands of the '90s, parka jackets are back in a big way for 2025. The traditional khaki green colour is perfect for spring, and once again, it's a practical choice for rainy weather. The high funnel neck gives an outfit instant polish, and works wonders when paired with wide-leg trousers for a chic, balanced silhouette.

Quilted
A quilted jacket is a more playful option for those wanting to make a statement. Think bright patterns and colours for a true spring/summer feel. Style with neutral basics to let the jacket do the talking, or clash with contrasting prints for a vibrant look.
