The dreaded two months of the year where one day, it’s too hot for a puffer jacket, and the next, it’s too cold for even a light sweater are here, folks. Don’t get me wrong – I’m ecstatic that warmer temperatures have made their way back into the chat, but I can’t stand the mind games spring weather plays. With those unpredictable days ahead, it’s the perfect time to talk about one must-have transitional wardrobe piece: the spring jacket.
As your personal shopper (free of charge, of course!), I’m excited to share that the spring summer 2025 fashion trends, per the designer runways that were shown this past autumn, introduced a ton of fresh and fun transitional jacket trends to look forward to. Think cropped leather jackets with edgy cuts and statement sleeves, versatile raincoats and anoraks in bold colourways and cool textures, and reimagined trench coats that go beyond the classic khaki style and traditional silhouettes, bringing in unexpected fabrics and modern twists. Oh, and peplums are making a comeback! Who would’ve guessed!
Keep on scrolling to see the five best spring jacket trends that belong in your closet ASAP. I promise these chic jackets are worth the extra layer (even on those nights out with friends where you’d rather not carry one), and they’ll be the perfect finishing touch to pull your whole outfit together. And on those days when it does feel a little chilly, simply knot a triangle scarf – like this chic Kiltane neck tie – round your neck for added style points.
Cropped Leather Jackets
Miu Miu
Gabriela Hearst
From biker jackets to oversized bombers, leather jackets are a classic wardrobe staple that have gone through several iterations throughout the years. One silhouette that’s having a resurgence in 2025 is the cropped leather jacket. The sharper, shorter cut adds an extra edgy vibe, perfect for a biker street style look. Opt for a rich, highly saturated colour if you wanna kick it up a notch.

The trench coat has always been cool (at least in my professional opinion), but these latest designs straight from the runway have taken it to a whole new level. Bold and reinvented with contemporary cuts and innovative fabrics, they feature out-of-the-ordinary details like statement collars, pleated accents and asymmetrical buttons. A style win.
