A shapely spring jacket in black? Certainly there’s room in your closet for one of these, especially since it’s one that you’ll be funneling into your ensembles for seasons to come. The cotton construction of this jacket allows for longtime wearing through summer nights, and a tailored shape isn’t going to make you look boxy and/or chunky. A must-have in s-m-l-xl. [$396 at tobi]
Can’t quite swing the print red and black in spring? Get into a blue-and-black checked pullover hoodie we spied over at Urban Outfitters for a nice under-$40 price. This comfortable and lightweight overshirt– which is an Urban exclusive, by the way– is available in another colorway of grey as well, in sizes to XL. Cotton and true to size, which makes it perfect for spring. [$38 at urban outfitters]
Front-zip styling just got better with this Single Riders Jacket from Coming Soon at Tobi. A deep front zip will keep you looking rather debonair even if you happen to have it thrown over a t-shirt, and (let’s face it) we could all use that once in a while. Heavier weight fabric makes it a multi-season dream, and it combines both motorcycle and military inspiration for a new look. Sizes 44, 46, and 48 in navy. [$610 at tobi]
This Diesel jacket isn’t much like the overhyped, multi-patched versions we’ve seen before, and that makes us happy indeed! The Diesel Jordaner Field Jacket has a vintage-y shape that still reminds us of those army field jackets of yore (or, um, college), and it’s got the pockets, zips, and details to back up those claims of military inspiration. Available at Urban Outfitters from s-xl; runs small. [$280 at diesel]
The G-Star Barber Black might look like just a plain ol’ spring jacket, but a closer look reveals a good number of design details including unusual trench stylings. This basic hip-length jacket includes a button collar, a stitched yoke, epaulets, slash pockets, and tone on tone stitching– the recipe for spring coat style? Even if it’s not, it sure looks like it here on ssense. Sizes s-m-l and xxl. [$298 at ssense]
Starchy-looking denim is a good compromise in charcoal, especially when you dig a rugged look, but happen to be drowning in indigo blues! Fremont typically does a resort thing for what’s called “everyday living” (otherwise known as life?), so it’s safe to say this one’s going to stay on your back for a while. Available with 4% stretch, it’s not your traditional stiff denim outerwear, and that means you’ll be flattered doubly by it. Available at revolve in sizes s-m-l. [$327 at revolve]
Cinch that jacket up and give yourself a fresh figure. This Endovanera choice has high-fashion details like distinctive venting and trimmed-down touches. If you think you couldn’t possibly stomach another coat this season, keep in mind that this one isn’t just an investment piece, but a timely purchase that incorporates a high percentage of cotton to keep things lightweight through spring. Available at revolve in sizes S-XL. [$440 at revolve]
It’s amazing what a basic blazer can do when it’s shapely and smart, don’t you think? This selection from Marc by Marc Jacobs, available at ssense, has a slim fit in an almost boy-type shape, and you’ll get tons of those “cute and hip” style points just for that. A single back vent and a skinny notched collar are expected, but a star-patterned lining is not. 100% cotton shell in sizes s-m-l-xl. [$378 at ssense]
It’s a refreshing change not to be shopping for woolen bits, isn’t it? This Shipley & Halmos selection in “geezer black” is an understated selection that’s the cousin of all your winter outwear, except that it happens to be lighter, cooler, comfier, and pretty darn stylish. Double-breasted shape adds width to the chest, and you even get subtle pit ventilation to keep you comfortable post-rainshower. Sizes 38, 40, 42, and 44. [$490 at tobi]
