EVERY JACKET WORTH INVESTING IN FOR SPRING

By Emma Strawbridge, 16 February 2025

It’s hard to imagine not stepping out in a big puffer jacket, bonnet, scarf and gloves, and a hot water bottle underneath it all right now, but we’re looking forward to nothing more. Our perfect weather conditions are the same as Miss Congeniality’s Cheryl, ‘Not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket’, and that’s what we’re here to help with – jackets. Cult classics like the trench and denim silhouettes will always be wardrobe go-tos, but we’re going to show you how to update them for the new season – scroll to see our top styles for spring.

Topshop cropped faux suede bomber jacket with popper details in camel, £60

BROWN SUEDE JACKETS
It’s no secret that suede is back, but with festival season on the horizon and the return of boho, you bet we’re taking suede jackets into spring. Where we’ve been seeing strong blazer-like silhouettes this winter, expect the styles to relax into the new season with bomber jackets and trenches featuring heavily.

DENIM WORKWEAR JACKETS
Denim jackets will never not be a thing, but we’re taking ours with a vintage wash and old-school workwear branding for SS25. Leaning into off-duty styling will give off that effortless ‘I just threw this on’ feel, even though you planned your entire week’s outfits on Sunday night. This Carhartt shacket hybrid is the definition of light layer – perfect for office days and summer nights alike.

BOMBER JACKETS

If your vibe is all about making a statement, opt for a bomber jacket. They will always make you feel like you're on the right side of cool, and this one from COLLUSION ticks every new-season trend with a faux-leather design and bold stripes. Style it for weekend plans with a denim bubble skirt or keep it simple with your favourite jeans and a point-toe boot.

BUTTERMILK-YELLOW JACKETS
We said the trench coat is a spring staple, but have you tried it in buttermilk yellow? The trending shade is perfect for spring and complements cool tones like grey and denim blue. The easiest way to add colour to a look is through a jacket… so you’re welcome.

ASOS DESIGN oversized washed barn jacket with leather look collar in khaki, £65

BARN JACKETS
We mentioned barn jackets back in autumn as they had become a staple of it-girls like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner. But just like autumn, spring is a transitional season so they’ll slot right back into your everyday rotation with ease. As the days get (hopefully) warmer, make yours oversized and pair it with shorts and minis for a cool-girl-approved look.

Topshop patchwork quilted liner jacket in multi, £65

QUILTED LINER JACKETS
A light quilted jacket is spring’s answer to the puffer. You can wear it to the gym, to the office, for weekend plans – so versatile, but not as cumbersome. For the new season, opt for a lighter colourway as opposed to black or grey. Extra points for the patchwork style of this Topshop piece, which plays into the free-spirited vibe we’re seeing into spring.
