Dressing for spring can be tricky. With temperatures constantly fluctuating, it’s not always clear what pieces are worth investing in for the season, but the answer is simple: Transitional outerwear. To combat the ups, downs, and everything in between, we went straight to our favorite stylish celebrities for inspiration—and the results are effortlessly chic. From classic trench coats to sporty jackets styled with all of spring’s best wardrobe essentials, we’ve outlined the best celeb transitional outerwear outfits that feel fresh, on-trend, and actually wearable.
The Transitional Outerwear Check List:
Fashion Month took us all over the globe, where weather patterns were seemingly different in every city. It was leather weather in Milan, where Love Story’s Sarah Pidgeon donned a black button-front jacket in buttery nappa with a simple white T-shirt and black jeans. Bella Hadid followed suit, while also making appearances in the Italian city of design, styling a brown suede jacket with straight-leg denim and pointy boots, leaning into her now-infamous cowgirl-with-a-twist aesthetic.
Alexa Chung doubled up on jackets in Paris, styling a classic Mac trench coat in khaki over a navy nylon bomber, V-neck sweater, and white button-down shirt for a masterclass in layering. Back in California, Kendall Jenner sported a lightweight funnel-neck jacket with capri pants and a heeled thong sandal—exactly what we want to wear as the temperatures rise. And just this week, we saw Zoë Kravitz facing the irregular weather patterns in New York, with a black car coat, pale yellow T-shirt, and grey jeans (one of spring’s biggest denim trends we’ve had our eyes on). Adding in signature accessories—including those soft leather black ballet flats from The Row, a ball cap, and an oversized suede tote—we’re itching to recreate this one, asap.
Wherever your home base may be (or where you’ll be traveling to this spring), these fresh ideas work in every climate. Ahead, the best transitional outerwear outfits, inspired by our favorite celebrities.
