Happy Spring Outerwear

Spring weather can be wonderfully unpredictable, which makes a chic outerwear piece an essential part of any well-dressed wardrobe. Whether you are reaching for a timeless trench, a soft suede jacket, or a statement-making floral layer, the right third piece adds both polish and practicality to your look. I rounded up the best spring outerwear from around the web to help you stay stylish through every forecast, rain or shine.

Casual/Barn Jackets

• I love the crisp off-white hue of this waxed jacket. The moment I saw it I had to have it! (I got my normal size UK 8.) The lighter color is an easy spring update to your trusty olive wax jacket, and I'm warning you now, you're going to see a lot of this little bucket bag. (I love it so much, I got it in two colors.)
• This belted cream denim jacket is an elevated twist on fieldwear. It creates a beautifully defined waist and looks incredibly chic over jeans or trousers.
• A classic barn coat is my go-to for chilly morning dog walks. It's from the men's department, and I got mine a few seasons ago in XS. It has the perfect slightly oversized, borrowed-from-the-boys fit. (30% off through midnight, March 9!)
• White denim feels so fresh for the season, especially in the shape of this cropped barn jacket. The contrasting corduroy collar gives it a wonderful heritage feel and the cropped style is especially flattering with high-waisted jeans.
• Utility meets femininity in this fantastic ash pink painter jacket. The durable herringbone cotton will wear in beautifully over time (I love a piece that gets better with age!). Throw it on for weekend gardening or a casual farmer's market run.

Pattern Play

• What a stunning statement piece! This vintage-inspired jacquard jacket features the most beautiful stand collar and covered buttons. I would pair it with tailored trousers for a dressed-up lunch, or keep it casual with cropped jeans and ballet flats.
• Make a bold statement with this beautiful linen coat. The multicolored artistic print is a joyous celebration of spring hues. Cinch the waist over a simple white dress for church, or wear it open over wide-leg pants for an artsy gallery visit.
• This brilliant reversible trench gives you two looks in one. Wear the olive side for errands, then flip to the plaid for a weekend brunch.
• This timeless plaid jacket is perfect for unpredictable transitional weather. I would style it over a light sweater with jeans now, and throw it over a crisp white sundress when the temperatures finally rise.
• For weekend errands or a morning walk, this sporty floral pullover is just the ticket. I love the hidden zipper and drawstring hem. It is perfectly practical for breezy days and looks adorable with your favorite workout leggings.

Trench Coats

• If you need a reliable staple, this cotton trench drapes beautifully. I love wearing a cashmere-silk shawl as a scarf (my latest acquisition!!) with white denim and these chic ballet flats for in-between weather days. The below-the-knee length is so chic and the crisp Italian cotton fabric is inspired by Burberry's iconic trench. So good!
• I love the slightly slouchy cut of this twill trench and soft clay hue. It's the layer you'll reach for often on chilly spring days.
• The crisp fabric and tailored fit of this double-breasted coat make it look much more expensive than its price tag. It's also a nice length to pair with mini skirts and wellies.
• I've had this classic trench coat for 5 or 6 years and it's still going strong to this day. I love the leather details on the buckles and horn buttons.

Embellished

• You can never go wrong with olive green, and this belted coat has a stunning removable jeweled collar. Pair it with dark denim and classic loafers for an afternoon of museum hopping or looking fab checking off your everyday to-do list. The olive is selling out but the navy version is also very chic!
• For a touch of glamour, I am obsessed with this embellished coat. The hand-placed crystals elevate a wardrobe staple to shine for evening dinner dates or a night at the theater.
• The intricate embroidery on this military green layer brings so much lovely texture to a springtime outfit. Only a few left, but it's on major sale!

Ladylike

• My closet is begging for this blush pink tweed jacket. The braided white trim and double-ended zipper add an unexpected edge to a very feminine silhouette. It is exactly what you need to polish up a simple t-shirt and jeans combination.
• This vibrant tangerine swing coat provides an immediate mood boost on dreary days. The structured Italian cotton and fluid drape are so elegant. I picture this thrown over a neutral work outfit to add a brilliant pop of color to your commute.

Suede Jackets

• This gorgeous pastel pink suede jacket is an absolute dream for spring. The boxy fit slips right over light knitwear for breezy patio lunches with girlfriends.
• An absolute investment piece, this suede car coat drapes beautifully. Layer it over a silk blouse for dinner now, and over a cotton sundress on cooler summer nights.
• Nodding to vintage fieldwear, this belted jacket brings a rich, refined element to your closet. I'd pair it with wide-leg white trousers and simple sandals for an elevated daytime look.
• We all know I adore a good third piece, and this suede shirt jacket adds wonderful texture to any outfit. It looks fantastic over a simple white camisole and vintage wash jeans.

Raincoats

• The playful colorblocking on this hooded raincoat makes dreary weather much more fun. (The cut is generous so you can fit chunky sweaters underneath on chillier mornings.)
• Every wardrobe requires a functional raincoat, and this lightweight option is super affordable and ideal for April showers. Keep it by the door for damp dog walks or running to the grocery store.
• Sometimes you just want a minimalist layer, which makes this navy coat a brilliant find. It pulls together a casual striped tee and chinos look in seconds for an effortless weekend uniform.
• Rainy days are inevitable, so you might as well look chic! This lightweight off-white windbreaker is packable and breathable. I love the creamy color, especially when worn over a workout set like this merino wool workout top and leggings in a pretty sage green.
• A sporty yet elevated layer, this cropped jacket is fantastic for transitional weather. Throw it on over your favorite activewear or with high-waisted jeans for running around town.
• How fun is the vibrant fern color of this tech jacket for spring? (It instantly brightens a cloudy day!) Wear it with chino shorts and sneakers for outdoor weekend adventures.
