Cropped trench coat
The key to any kind of wardrobe layering is proportions, and no proportion is more flattering and versatile than a cropped jacket. Be they pocketed, toggled, or button-down, consider this your spring outerwear staple. For spring 2025 we have our minds set on cropped trench coats.
Suede jackets
This season, designers have reimagined the classic suede jacket in a variety of cuts and colours, making it a statement piece for both casual and polished looks. Amongst the classic tan and caramel shades, Zadig & Voltaire has opted for hues of blue, while House of Dagmar has dived into chocolatey tones.
Androgynous
For spring 2025, the lines between feminine and masculine are officially blurred, especially in outerwear. Features traditionally associated with men's styles – such as strong collars, straight waists, and defined pockets – are prominently featured on the women's runways this season, with Miu Miu leading the charge.
Sporty attire
Relive your high school collegiate dreams with the spectrum of sportier spring jackets that have dropped this season. Feeling preppy? Gant's varsity jacket is the one for you. More outdoorsy? Look to the drawstring bomber by Zimmermann.
Denim jackets
Spring is synonymous with a denim refresh – and a jacket is the perfect starting point. Destree’s tailored silhouette brings a touch of romance, offering a softer, more refined take on the classic denim jacket. Meanwhile, Weekday’s washed and bleached styles embrace a raw, lived-in aesthetic, perfect for those drawn to a more rebellious, streetwear-inspired look.
