There are only a few more weeks of cold-weather drab before we finally welcome a new season, begging the question: Which of the best spring jackets are we investing in for the months ahead? Spring weather is notoriously finicky, and while you may be tempted to peel off the layers altogether, you’d be wise to invest in a few solid pieces to take you from rainy, chilly mornings to clear, crisp evenings.
A look in my own closet revealed two things: Investing in a proper trench coat proved to be a wise decision, and my sleek, warm leather jacket is a three-season staple. You’ll find plenty of these and more time-honored staples in my edit. But perhaps you’re tired of the same old silhouettes. If you’re more into spring’s biggest trends, fear not: Plenty of eye-catching patterns, cropped silhouettes, and funnel necks await. Shop the best spring jackets on my radar below.

The under-$100 jacket
A good sense of personal style doesn’t have a price tag. (Some of my favorite wardrobe staples, including a perfect white tee and a sale-rack wrap skirt, cost me less than $10 each.) The key is understanding your taste—and knowing a good deal when you see one. These relatively budget-friendly finds speak to current trends, like drawstring waists and cropped fits, while still having the potential to be worn for years to come.
