20 Feb The Best Spring Jackets and Coats to See You Through 2023 and Beyond

If there were ever a time to be joyful, the first signs of spring emerging after a long, cold winter might just be it. The stretch in the evening, the frost melting and temperatures rising all bring a much needed lift to our shivering souls. Apart from getting some much-needed vitamin d, we can finally think a little less about the functionality of our outfits. Which is quite frankly, a little more than we want to deal with on cold mornings and something of a creativity killer. Once we don’t have to consider freezing when we step out the door, things can get a little more frivolous and fancy. Oh the excitement.

It’s not time to skip out of the house in single layers just yet though, which is where your transitional layers and trusty spring jackets come in. There will always be room for a classic spring trench coat in our wardrobes, ready to layer for varying levels of protection. Ditto the staple blazer which always looks pulled together. This season the bomber is still big news, and leather lovers can plump for grungy biker jackets, chic cropped styles, or the y2k moto vibe that is still going strong. Cargo and utility jackets are having a major moment and look great paired with everything. And if you’re not quite ready to go light, why not try one of the shorter wool coats that are cropping up everywhere. Here are the best spring jackets to get you through 2023 and beyond.

Staple Blazers

This season blazers are either oversized (great for layering), or cinched at the waist if you want to switch things up. The 80s vibe in the spring collections also sees strong shoulders and double-breasted styling back in business. Look for warmer wool fabrications for now, or layer something lighter that you can still wear through spring and summer.

Totême’s belted blazer also comes in black.

H&M’s black tie-belt blazer is a good budget option.
