Our Favourite Spring Coats and Jackets

So, which jackets are best for spring? Get ready for (ever-so-slightly) warmer weather by swapping wintry duvet coats for lighter layers. A trench coat is one of the smartest purchases you can make for the new season: effortless, practical, and always in style. Our cotton-rich trench coat has a contemporary cropped length, but still has the classic design details you'd expect such as a storm flap, tie belt and epaulettes. If you're petite, try this shorter belted trench in classic beige. On colder days, layer a lightweight sweater under your trench coat for some added cosiness.

Picking the right outerwear in between seasons can be tricky – get it wrong and you're either shivering or at risk of overheating all day. A lightweight cotton quilted jacket is a clever choice for when warmer weather is on the horizon but not quite here yet. If you love pattern, brighten up your new-season wardrobe with this floral-print jacket by Per Una. With a neat round-neck collar and a zip-fastening it's the perfect segue into spring dressing. Wear with barrel-leg jeans for an effortless weekend look and keep on hand for the summer months as a cover-up for chillier days.
