New blossoms, brighter days, and lighter layers – there is so much to look forward to for spring, especially this spring, when we could be getting a chance to venture out into the world once again, meet friends in parks, and show off the sartorial skills we’ve been refining in lockdown. If you’re looking to purchase a joyful new spring jacket or coat for the new season, then we’ve found 20 gorgeous transitional pieces that you need to add to your shopping list.

When spring, or even autumn, rolls around there are a few jacket and coat silhouettes that are bona-fide classics – think longline wool coats, teddy jackets, lightweight puffers or quilted coats, and statement, vegan leather outerwear. For 2021, we’re especially fond of pastel-coloured jackets to remind us of the joy of dressing up, and shackets, otherwise called oversize overshirts, which started trending in spring 2020.

Ahead, check out five spring jacket trends that we are loving and the standout pieces we’re shopping for the season.
