Sarah LafargeThe colourful spring jacket
So, which jackets are best for spring? Get ready for (ever-so-slightly) warmer weather by swapping wintry duvet coats for lighter layers. Colourful outerwear is a big trend this spring: perfect for rebooting your wardrobe and lifting your mood. Our top pick is this soft green bomber jacket, which has a relaxed fit and is super versatile. Colour fans: wear similar shades head-to-toe, like this blazer and tailored trousers. If neutrals are more your thing but you want to add a pop of colour to your outfit, pair a bright coat with black, cream, or denim.
Our favourite colourful coats
The spring trench coat
A trench coat is one of the smartest purchases you can make for spring: effortless, practical, and always in style. Our pure cotton trench coat has thoughtful design details like tortoise shell buttons, a longline cut and patch pockets, elevating this everyday hero. Choose from traditional camel or chic black. If you're petite, try this shorter belted trench in inky navy. On colder days, we love layering a lightweight sweater under our trench coat for some added cosiness.
Trench coats for every budget
The lightweight spring jacket
Picking the right outerwear in between seasons can be tricky – get it wrong and you're either shivering or at risk of overheating all day. A lightweight cotton pea coat is a clever choice for when warmer weather is on the horizon but not quite here yet. Or try this quilted jacket – it's already a big hit with M&S customers, thanks to the easy-to-wear design and clever water-repellent finish. If you love print, brighten up your new-season outfits with this reversible floral-print jacket, which can be worn two ways. Multipurpose, stylish and practical: what's not to like?
