Regardless of the fact it’s rained every day this year so far (yes, really), the weather is definitely warming up and our seasonal outerwear switch is imminent. I’m counting down the days until I can stow away my big coats and replace them with something a bit lighter; in this interim weather period, I’d usually head straight for my classic trench coat. However, this year, I fancy a change.
While I’ll never tire of my trench coat, I do feel it gets a bit too much limelight. This year, I’ve vowed to myself to push myself out of my comfort zone more with my style and embrace new pieces into my wardrobe and actually get wear out of them.
When it comes to spring, as a self-confessed denim obsessive, I probably wear jeans every single time I leave the house, so a versatile jacket that works with an array of different jean washes and shapes is such a key piece for me. Whether it’s a light wash straight-leg or my beloved black barrel-leg, I need a jacket as versatile as my trench coat to carry me through the new season and beyond.
To give myself as well as you some much-needed inspiration before spring is well and truly upon us, I headed to the Instagram account of some of my favourite women. Below, I’ve rounded up the six chicest jackets to wear with jeans this spring. From the classic leather to a newfound cross-over blazer, these are the styles I’m off to invest in.
6 Jacket Trends to Wear with Jeans This Spring:
1. Bomber Jacket
Style Notes: While the bomber jacket is nothing new, it remains an age-old, effortlessly cool outerwear staple. Beyond its stylish appeal, it’s practical, warm, and pairs seamlessly with any style of jeans. Over the years, the bomber has evolved far beyond its utilitarian roots and is now available in a wide array of colours, fabrics and silhouettes.

2. Barn Jacket
Style Notes: Barn jackets saw a real resurgence last year. I didn’t pick one up at the time, and it’s the one piece I regret not adding to my wardrobe—so it’s at the top of my list for spring. They’re incredibly versatile, yet lightweight enough to be perfect for when the weather starts to warm up.

3. Leather Jacket
Style Notes: The classic leather jacket has always been a favourite of mine, and it’s a piece I’ve consistently kept in my wardrobe. Years ago, I was loyal to the biker style; however, over time, I’ve expanded my collection to include more minimalist designs—and I finally caved and bought the viral Zara leather bomber jacket as well. Paired with jeans, it creates an effortlessly chic look.

4. Suede Trench Coat
Style Notes: I know I said I was trying to move away from trench coats, but to me, a suede iteration feels entirely different from the classic style I already own. It’s a fresh, modern update that taps perfectly into the suede trend taking the fashion world by storm. I’m currently lusting after a deep chocolate brown version—I know it would slot seamlessly into my wardrobe—but there are plenty of colourways to choose from, depending on what suits you best.

Style Notes: Funnel neck jackets are a major trend right now, defined by their high neckline that rises to graze the jawline. While I can’t quite shake the image of Victoria Beckham dramatically trailing hers behind her, there’s something undeniably chic and polished about the silhouette. Since getting one myself, I’ve barely taken it off—it adds an effortlessly edgy finish to any look.

Style Notes: Blazers play an integral role in my wardrobe—they’re my go-to whenever I want to instantly elevate an outfit. As much as I love them, there are only so many you can own, which is why I’m always on the lookout for a fresh new style. I recently spotted a crossover iteration that buttons high at the neckline to the side, and it feels like such a modern, refreshing addition.
