These are the major jacket trends to shop this spring…

Utility jackets

A massive trend on the spring/summer 2023 catwalks, utility dresses, skirts, jumpsuits and trousers featured oversized zips and lots of pockets.

Give any spring outfit a utility spin with a cargo jacket. The roomy shape makes it easy to throw over any ensemble – and with all those pockets, you might even be able to leave your handbag at home.

Boucle blazers

Boucle blazers never really go out of style – just ask the Princess of Wales, who’s been snapped in royal blue, ivory and red versions recently.

Take a leaf out of Kate’s book with a longline blazer in a bold hue, or opt for a boxy cropped jacket – ideal for teaming with high-waisted jeans

The ultimate outerwear icon, it doesn’t get more timeless than a trench coat, which you can style come rain, shine – and anywhere in between.

Whether it’s classic beige, cool khaki or storm grey, a belted trench goes with just about everything, making it a cost-of-living-friendly investment.

Leather jackets

Love a black biker jacket? Switch up your spring look with a lighter hue.

Think mint, baby pink or sunny yellow for teaming with floral midi dresses, or white to pair with black denim or wide-leg trousers.
