9 Must Have Spring Coats

It’s official - we are heading firmly in the direction of spring. Buds are blooming, birds are singing and the sun is beginning to poke its head out from behind the seemingly permanent clouds of winter. 

As we approach the end of the winter lockdown, it’s time to think about setting aside those sweatpants and updating your wardrobe for the new season. 

Spring is a tricky one, as the weather can be quite changeable, so having a range of spring coats and other jacket options available is the best way to stay warm, dry and stylish whatever the day throws at you. 

We’ve rounded up our top spring coats for 2021 so you know what to wear - whether the weather is fine, or not!

Classic Coat

A straight shape that can be worn different ways. Perfect for those winter-to-spring days where it’s warm one minute and cool the next. 

Team it with high-waisted ‘mom’ jeans, a white trainer and a light turtleneck or sweatshirt for a cool spring look - or embrace the arrival of warmer weather by giving a ‘masculine’ edge to a stylish and floaty midi-dress with ankle boots.  

Traditional Trench

We all know that spring weather can be a little… unpredictable! That’s why trench coats and macs are always popular fashion choices for this time of year. 

Whether you’re dressing up or curating a casual vibe, the trench coat has your back. Button and belt for a cinched waist, perfect with a dress or skirt for office wear or date night. 

Warm day and an outfit you’re dying to show off? Reverse the trend by tying the belt behind your back and leaving the coat open. 

Spring Florals

The sun is out, the flowers are blooming; take inspiration from nature with your new wardrobe choices by picking out a bright floral-print jacket. Perfect for days where the weather hasn’t quite caught up with your imagination, a floral print is a great way to add some colour to an all-black ensemble and a first step to the bolder, more colourful prints we love to wear during summer.

Biker Chick

A quality leather jacket is an excellent wardrobe investment. Take care of it properly and it will give you look after look for decades; plus a treated leather jacket will offer some waterproofing, which is perfect for rainy spring days.

Go full biker with ripped skinny jeans, black boots and a statement tee or contrast with pretty florals for a striking take on spring fashion. 

Everyday Denim

If you find the leather look a bit strong, then a traditional denim jacket is a long-time favourite for a reason. For occasions where a summer frock might be a bit smart, dress it down with this denim staple and smart trainers for a relaxed, daytime look. Or why not rock the ‘double-denim’ trend with a contrasting pair of ankle-grazer jeans for an updated take on a vintage ensemble.

Bright & Beautiful

After the dull, dark and dingy days of winter, spring is here and it’s bringing with it colour everywhere you look - including wardrobe choices. 

Even if you’re more of a monochrome fan, finishing an outfit with a pop of colour using a jacket or coat adds a little burst of joy. Keep it classy with black jeans, a black tee and white trainers or make a bold splash by mixing and matching your favourite hues for a look that’ll put a smile on everyone’s face this spring.

Sports Luxe

Activewear isn’t only for the gym; the sports luxe trend is experiencing a resurgence in popularity after months of working from home have people looking for more comfortable ways to play with their style. Finish the look with a cotton stretch pencil skirt or dress, white trainers and hoop earrings.

Army Neutrals

For a casual spring coat with attitude, choose a utility-style jacket to add a military twist to your outfit. Greens, beiges and browns take centre stage for pieces that look as good in an urban jungle as they do out in the wilds of nature. Plus, we love all those extra pockets. 

All-white ensembles look great topped off with a utility jacket… or are you brave enough to go complete camo?

Short and Sweet

Now that ‘wrapping up warm’ is no longer top of our priority list, indulging in a cropped jacket, bolero or shrug gives a layered feel to any outfit. Yes, these look great with dresses and skirts to show off your waist, but they’re also great for accentuating prints and colours. 

We love the nautical look with a striped tee and high-waisted jeans.

As the days gradually grow longer and we all spend more time outside, it’s time to go back to enjoying fashion after long months stuck indoors. The world is opening up again, so go on, treat yourself to a new coat or jacket to create new looks ready for a more sociable spring.
