39 Chic Spring Jackets to See You Through the Season

women's spring jackets light layering


Light layering is on its way - or perhaps has arrived - wherever you are in the world, and autumn and spring jackets are among the key staples to a capsule wardrobe to help you create outfit ideas for either season. 

They make the perfect balance between too cool for sleeveless and too warm for anything heavy, while also offering a balance between polished fashion and practicality.


Also, they offer so many smart casual outfit ideas for women who love a chic minimalist look. And they are a fabulous piece to include in your packing list when putting together travel and airport outfits.

The autumn and spring jackets are all about versatility. Light layering pieces that can be paired with a knit one day and a t-shirt the next, with flat sandals for a casual look or heeled sandals for something a little more elegant. Perfect for creating
outfits for the transitional months.

And don’t forget that when the cold weather returns, or arrives, these light layering pieces will make great company when paired with heavier coats.

Different silhouettes are appearing, from the simple straight design to the more structured pull-waist version, a cropped form or the longer one, the leather or the cotton. Whichever suits your wardrobe and your lifestyle best.

Appearing everywhere in the fashion world, from the runways to the streets and social media, I’ve put together a collection of 39 new and secondhand jackets for spring and autumn. Specifically, I’ve gone for the ones that will not become irrelevant next year but will remain capsule wardrobe staples for women who appreciate long-lasting fashion trends, rather than fast-fashion variety.

And if you visit my
Instagram account, you will find plenty of ideas for styling jackets, just like the ones I’ve shared on this blog.

I hope you enjoy!
