The season of the big coat is over for another year. Gone are the overcoats and trenches that are staples of the autumn and winter and in are lighter jackets and tailored blazers for the spring. There is no shortage of amazing jackets to be wearing at this time of year so it can be a little overwhelming when trying to pick out a new one, which is why we’ve dug through the fashion archives of none other than Hailey Bieber to find six uber cool jackets perfect for the spring. These jackets are effortlessly cool and will no doubt add some serious style to any outfit this spring!
Classic Leather Jacket
Where better to start than with the classic leather biker jacket? This jacket is a fashion staple for a reason and always enables whoever is wearing it to look like the coolest person on the street. The version Hailey is wearing here is the standard classic design in black which exudes that timeless cool factor, although a coloured variant could also work as a bolder approach to wearing the classic and showcase a different style of personality.
Printed Leather Jacket
If a leather jacket in a totally different colour sounds like a bit too much, then how about the classic black with some stylish printing instead? Prints are a great way to showcase more individuality in an outfit and leather jackets are treasure troves when it comes to unique stylings and patterns. The version Hailey is wearing features a 70s styled vintage print in a golden-brown sitting atop the shoulders and along the lapels, giving the jacket a unique identity and making it stand out without feeling too over the top.
The Oversized Blazer
Tailoring works in every season of the year but especially comes to life in the spring where it can style up an outfit with minimal effort whilst also keeping the wearer warm if the weather is a little cooler. An oversized blazer especially is perfect for creating a relaxed yet still stylish outfit especially when paired with a matching pair of baggier trousers much like Hailey is wearing here. Wearing a t-shirt or hoodies underneath can push the casual vibes even further and create a really clean outfit that can be put together in mere seconds.
The Leather Trench
Whilst the trench is typically out of season for the time being there is one variant of the classic that works wonderfully for the spring. The leather trench is an even cooler take on the already cool leather jacket and adds a sense of gravitas to the jacket for an uber sleek look that will bring obvious comparisons to The Matrix. The leather trench is perfect for spring evenings where the weather is a little cooler and an outfit is in need of a warmer layer.
Sublime Silks and Perfect Pastels
Silk is a material that screams spring with its lightweight and flowy nature making it perfect for a day with a slight breeze to add some gracious movement to an outfit. Because silk is often so lightweight it’s perfect for wearing on warmer days as it won’t overheat the wearer but will still keep them warm if temperatures suddenly drop. Pastels are the best colours to accompany some silk too as they have a natural spring aura about them and add some nice, gentle colour without being too loud or too bold.
Boxy Cuts
The boxy blazer is another great take on the traditional piece that gives it some more personality whilst still keeping its refined feel. The version worn by Hailey features some huge shoulders and long baggy sleeves giving the impression that there’s plenty of room to move around inside and won’t therefore feel too restrictive. The double-breasted styling of the jacket also adds another subtle layer of elegance to the piece whilst still retaining its cool, sleek feel.
