I’ll argue that spring is probably the only good season to dress for. During winter, you’re usually too wrapped up in layers or your one gigantic puffer coat. And during summer? It’s fun and cute until it’s not (a.k.a. too hot to even think about your outfit). But spring? It’s perfect. Most days, you can wear your shorts and skirts and all you need to top it all off and fend off the afternoon breeze is a light jacket.
Since we’re always tracking the trends, we polled the Cut’s editorial team, including market editor Cortne Bonilla, and rounded up the types of jackets you need to consider wearing this spring.
SO Which Spring Jackets You Should ADD To Your Cart?
➼ Lightweight trench coats
➼ Distressed-leather jackets
➼ Gorpcore jackets
➼ Sporty track jackets
➼ Racking jackets
Lightweight Trench Coats
We know you also saw those pictures of Taylor Russell with Harry Styles looking effortless in a classic trench coat. While hers was probably Loewe, there are lots of styles to shop elsewhere. Trenches were featured heavily at Coach’s fall-winter 2024 show in a number of colors and materials, including leather. Our style director, Jess Willis, also swears by this transitional piece.
Distressed-Leather Jackets
Leather jackets are far from a trend, but each season brings on a newer iteration of the textile. This time around: distressed and oversize. Think leather bombers that look like one-of-a-kind vintage finds or boxy, structured jackets that look as if they’ve been washed with sandpaper. What looks old is new again. Credit this to Miu Miu, whose boxy, faded leather jacket sent the TikTok girls into a frenzy.
Gorpcore Jackets
Again, Miu Miu is at the forefront of the trend. Yes, gorpcore is back. Maybe it’s the sudden and overwhelming influx of “quiet luxury,” but many jackets on the runway were surprisingly understated and pretty practical. Save for Miu Miu’s silk jackets, Hermès showed utilitarian neutrals you could probably wear camping (if you had thousands of dollars to spare), and at Sandy Liang, cotton chino twill was the fabric of choice. We love a practical fashion moment.
Sporty Track Jackets
Athleisure has fully integrated into our wardrobes. We’re still very much dressing up sweatpants and wearing jerseys as shirts. It’s only a matter of time until jersey dresses make a return, too! The look you can get into now? Track jackets. And you probably already own one. The sporty silhouette is fashion’s favorite thing to reimagine. While you can’t go wrong with the classic, we’ve picked a few fun versions.
Racing jackets
Has the interest in Formula 1 racing sparked a fashion trend? Even if you’re not into motorsports, you have to admit the jackets add a cool factor to any outfit. Spotted on Rihanna, Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, and, most recently, Drake, racing jackets are fairly easy to thrift and even easier to find.
