Spring might only just have started to appear – but the seasons are shifting, so lightweight outerwear is where it’s at right now.
And when it comes to transitional jackets, we’re all for hard-working pieces which marry function with flair, have room for an extra layer underneath (in case there’s a sudden cold spell) thanks to a relaxed fit, and are versatile enough to know you’re going to get lots of wear out of them.
Here’s what’s trending for spring, and can cope with our unpredictable weather patterns…
1. Utility
Hush Laurie Zip Up Utility Jacket, £99
2. Overshirt
Sure to be a big hit this spring and beyond, it’s time to switch out your cardigan for the far trendier, loose fit overshirt.
Reiss Clayton Denim Overshirt in Cream, £178
3. Parka
Reiss Rains Belted Raincoat in Flint Grey, £105
4. Cropped trench
The cropped trench takes a little getting used to if you’re used to longer styles, but it looks ever so hip – and that’s exactly where the length should hit.
Hush Stella Short Trench Jacket in Stone, £159
5. Classic trench
But don’t worry – a full length trench coat is still the standout item for spring, and it’s all about how you wear it.
Timeless and universally flattering, it’s the fashion chameleon which keeps on giving, and manages to combine effortless chic with a certain je ne sais quoi.
