22 Transitional Jackets & Coats For Spring
Sun one minute, downpours the next. Step out in these lightweight coats and jackets to tide you over until the weather gets properly better.
It is the season of layers, as the weather lurches this way to winter and that way to summer, well not quite yet but the weather does change several times every same day. The key is a good lightweight coat or jacket to throw over your outfit that will keep the spring chill at bay – but not so much so that you start overheating. It’s a fine balance – but luckily, there are plenty of stylish examples out there to throw around nippy shoulders. From trench coats to quilted jackets, this is our top pick and they give you something to look forward to. Longer days, the sun and spring.
