The best spring coats rounded up by StyleNest.
Pack away your heavy-duty winter coats and look to something a little lighter in our edit of the best spring coats. Greys, blacks and camels are perfect for the warm fabrics and dull days of Autumn Winter, but Spring Summer calls for something brighter and more vibrant. Don’t be afraid to play with colour; you can get away with a bold blue or a sherbet yellow when the sun is shining, and when it comes to shapes, the finer fabric means there are lots to choose from. A 1920s swing coat will add some Gatsby Glamour to a chic cocktail dress, whilst DVF’s Teddy Boy inspired suit jacket will add a masculine edge to skinny jeans and a white shirt.
And of course, spring wouldn’t be spring without those dreaded April showers so we’ve included some lightweight parkas and utility jackets for the school run, weekends or shopping trips.
Oversized Lightweight Parka
Summer showers are imminent so cover up in Topshop’s lightweight parka. Boyfriend jeans, Breton, plimsolls and parka – it’s an oldie but a goody.
Acne Sidney Coat
A real investment piece, this Acne ¾ length sleeved coat manages to be ladylike and futuristic at the same time. With a hidden magnetic fastening, the silhouette is kept clean and elegant – perfect for layering over a cocktail dress this summer.
Diane Von Furstenberg Raiko Coat
Mannish tailoring in high voltage colour puts this DVF statement coat at the top of our wish list. Wear dressed down with skinny jeans and a tee in the day, and come evening pair it with tailored trousers, patent heels and an envelope clutch for a glamorous take on the masculine trend.
Spring Trench
Boden’s spring trench was created with typical British weather in mind – sunny spells with the possibility of scattered showers. Remember your brolly too and you’ll be set for a wonderful British summer.-
Day Birger et Mikkelsen Floral Print Day Coat
This floral, jacquard swing coat will add some 20s charm to your look. Wear over skinny jeans and a tee with gold accessories for a modern take on a vintage look.
Jonathan Saunders Langly Polka-Dot Cotton & Silk-Blend Coat
Add a pop of colour to your spring wardrobe with Jonathan Saunders’ silk dress coat. King of Prints himself, Saunders uses tiny polka dots to stamp his signature style on this statement piece. Turn around to see the fuschia-on-orange polka dot print in reverse, on the back of the coat, – adding a quirky, unexpected edge.
Stella McCartney Hawaiian Print Coat
Coat With Piped Pocket
As seen at Louis Vuitton’s SS12 show, sugar sweet sherbet shades adorned ladylike, elegant coats and dresses. We love the simple shape and collarless neck of this Zara piece – pair with a silk tee and tailored shorts for a summer lunch or garden party.
Double Collar Parka
Work utility chic in this practical parka. We love the contrasting pastel sleeve rollups which give the boyish coat a feminine edge. Pair with jeans and a tee – perfect for the school run.
