Refresh your wardrobe this season with versatile and transitional layers
With puffy coats and parkas tucked away, it’s time to get your closet ready for higher temperatures. From denim jackets to textured blazers, airy trench coats and more, these stylish pieces of outerwear will have you fully prepped for spring, no matter the weather.
Perfect for layering, Babaton’s double-breasted trench coat has a relaxed silhouette and is handcrafted with twill from Italy. It’s one of those pieces that’s an instant classic in your wardrobe, and pairs with everything from evening dresses to office wear, or even jeans and a blouse.Available here
One thing about denim jackets is that they will never go out of style. Make a statement with Reformation’s cropped version that features a boxy fit, patch pockets and bronze buttons down the front. Wear it with a matching skirt (as pictured) for a chic retro look, or with your favourite silk dress, white linen pants, and more.Available here
Got brunches, garden parties, and wedding festivities on your agenda this season? Cue this beautiful pink-and-white tweed jacket that will add a lovely pop of colour to all of your ensembles. It’s sophisticated, classy, and elevates something as simple as a pair of jeans and strappy heels.Available here
If you’re looking for something edgy that’s not your usual black leather jacket, then here’s a refreshing option. This suede style from Club Monaco will become a daily favourite. Pair it with jeans, long silk skirts, floral dresses and more. We love the asymmetric front zip closure, snap-down lapels and belt—plus, the grey colour brightens things up for spring.Available here
Lightweight and pretty, this maxi trench by Dynamite features a relaxed fit, six front buttons, a belted sash, and a slit at the back. It’s absolutely perfect for the warmer days, and we just can’t get enough of this lilac colour.Available here
Oversized blazers are one of the hottest trends this season, and this one in royal blue tops our list for a number of reasons: it’s comfy, affordable and super-versatile, whether you’re going for a casual or professional look. Throw on matching trousers and heels for the office, a leather skirt and a cami for a night out, or with jeans and a simple T-shirt for a daytime outing.Available here
The name “chore” says it all. Oversized, long and on-trend, this shacket by Levi’s is guaranteed to become an everyday staple for running errands, grabbing groceries, going to the gym and more. It’s roomy enough for layering, so you can dress for whatever Mother Nature has in store.Available here
Thanks to its sandy brown colour, below-the-knee length, lined interior, and front hidden-button closure, this coat by Zara is a wonderful piece to wear during both of the transitional seasons: spring and fall. Throw it over your favourite denim, pantsuit, or black dress and you’re ready to go.Available here
A waterproof jacket is a must-have this season because rain showers will (sadly) never be fully behind us. Opt for something lightweight and practical like this nylon poncho by Uniqlo. It’s hooded, true to size, and what we love the most is that you can pack it up and store it in the large pockets when the sun starts shining. Perfect for outdoor activities!Available here
Oak and Fort’s super-cool leather bomber will take your street-style game to the next level. Wear it with sweatpants and sneakers for a trendy, casual look, or with loose trousers and a cropped blouse for an edgy night out. This one is going to get you compliments for sure.Available here
