Rain or shine, these fabulous ensembles will have you covered no matter what
As beautiful as spring is, it can be tough dressing for the weather at times due to the unpredictability of the season. That’s why it’s so important to have jackets and coats in your closet that are not only on trend, but versatile and practical as well. From chic, oversized blazers to light trench coats and sporty fits, we’ve gathered some of our favourites so all you have to do is browse through… and look forward to warmer days ahead.
This quilted shirt-jacket by Aritzia is a fabulous pick if you are looking for something that is high quality and more on the casual side. Made with matte, water-repellent technical taffeta, it’s filled with recycled materials, and the rich brown shade of course will complement just about anything. Available online
Add a pop of gorgeous mauve to your look this season with Zara’s warm wool coat. From your favourite denim and sneakers to a pantsuit for work, and even a silk dress for a night out, it’s a versatile option, especially if you’re a fan of layering your clothes. Available online
Leather jackets will never go out of style, so why not switch things up this year and go bold with colour. An ensemble like this one will always elevate your look, whether you’re in a pair of jeans and a simple tee or a dress and heels. You mean business in this one. Available online
A practical raincoat is a must-have for the spring because—let’s face it—April showers are no joke. J.Crew’s piece is made with a rubberized, water-resistant shell to keep you dry when you need it, and we also love that it’s unlined so you won’t have to worry about breaking a sweat on warmer days. Available online
Shackets continue to be a street style favourite, and Dynamite’s version will easily become a daily go-to. We love that its cozy and chic, and the light shades are perfect for the springtime. Available online
You can never go wrong when you invest in a trench coat, especially when it has a fabulous print like this. Sophisticated and classy, it’s also guaranteed to last you a long time thanks to its great quality. Available online
Whether you’re going for casual, professional or fancy, Club Monaco’s coat will keep you on top of your style game. We absolutely love the plush faux fur, structured shoulders and oversized collar. Not to mention, it’s perfect for those chillier days, and basically feels like a big hug. Available online
Everyone needs a simple and practical jacket they can throw on and layer up for running errands, heading to yoga class and more. Although it’s puffy, Uniqlo’s down is still lightweight, which means you won’t overheat. A splash of colour is always fun, and it’s also available in five other shades. Available online
A classic denim jacket is another must-have for a number of reasons, including that it will always be in style… and pairs with just about everything. Oak and Fort’s unisex version has a relaxed, oversized fit, which makes things even more comfortable, and the little bit of distressed detail adds a subtle edge. Available online
Comfy and stylish, this long overshirt will add some freshness to your wardrobe for the spring, owing to its colour and pattern. We love that it doesn’t have a bulky fit, plus the buttons and large pocket add just the right amount of detail. Available online
