Cute lightweight jackets are the secret to staying warm in spring! We love the details that make these two jackets stand out–traditional quilting on a modern cocoon shaped denim jacket and adorable puff sleeves on a classic leather jacket!
So ready for spring outfits! By March, we’re tired of winter and excited for fresh looks even though our temps outside can still be chilly! We’re constantly looking for ways to style spring outfits for cool weather (check out our springy but warm blog post). One of the key essentials for staying warm but dressing for spring is the JACKET! Keep scrolling to see our top picks for the must-have spring jackets this season!
hottest spring trend: shackets
All hail the shacket!! The shacket was the new trendy jacket for fall/winter 2020, and we’re excited to take our shackets into spring! Just lighten the color and/or the print and wear it over anything from casual jeans to skirts and shorts.
light layers: cardigans as jackets
Even though it’s spring, we never pack away all our sweaters! It’s during the shoulder seasons of fall & spring when we wear our cardigans the most! Cozy and warm, they’re easy to layer over a tank or tee, and just as easy to shed as the day warms up!
leather lite: suede motos
One of our favorite go-to styles is a leather jacket over a graphic tee. In spring, we love the softer feel of suede in a lighter neutral shade like camel, tan, or light grey. You can have even more fun with light colors and go with a pastel! The moto style is updated and cool–we love this style because it’s not too heavy or embellished with buckles & zippers.
warm & polished: blazers
As spring temperatures rise, try wearing your blazer as a jacket! If temperatures are a bit chilly, resist throwing a coat over your cute blazer outfit. Instead, try adding warmth with a scarf! Keep this look perfect for spring by keeping the colors light–try pretty pastels like pink, blue or yellow.
crazy for cozy: quilted jackets
This denim jacket is a fun change up from a traditional denim jacket. It’s quilted and a bit oversized for a cozy layer over any spring outfit!
cool details: belted & band style jackets
It’s fun to have a few dressier spring jackets in your repertoire! We love theseWhite House Black Market jackets for fun date night looks! Julie’s suede belted jacket is in the coolest gray shade. Krista’s coated denim band jacket is a fun twist on a traditional leather jacket. Now we just need more places to go!!
best of both worlds: shacket + quilted!
Who knew this would be such a killer combination? This light-as-a-feather shacket is the ideal spring layer and it also comes in cream or black. We fell in love with the sky blue! Pair it with light neutrals for a chic spring statement!
unexpected neutral: olive utility jacket
This army green jacket with stars has literally been our favorite jacket of 2020! It instantly ups the cool factor from casual to date night outfits! We love the slightly longer length and raw hem.
