With the season’s annual chore behind us—see: spring cleaning—you might find yourself wondering what to do with all the lightweight and airy pieces that survived being packed away. However, given that we’re dealing with the UK, the most resolute dressers amongst us know it’s always safe to keep hold of a few sturdy pieces of outerwear to see us through the few false springs that lie ahead. Indeed, this regular meteorological phenomenon has made sceptics of us all, never quite trusting that any forecast that promises blue skies and sunshine won’t be succeeded by torrential downpour and darkened clouds.

But it’s this distrust in the weather that has made us resilient to styling woes and kept our wardrobes well-stocked with clothes that can see us through anything. This season, especially, has delivered its fair share of picturesque spring jacket trends that warrant clutching onto, irrespective of rain, hail or shine. There’s the cropped blazer styles seen at Mattieu Blazy’s debut for Chanel, of course, along with Jonathan Anderson’s flippy and truncated iteration of Monsieur Dior’s revered Bar Jacket and even wafty blousons by Chemena Kamali for Chloé.

That’s only scratching the surface. Still, it appears that the members of the style set aren’t even willing to part with their jacket styles on even the most clement of days. Earlier in the month, Margot Robbie attended a film premiere in the middle of a Los Angeles heat wave, wearing a draped strapless mini from Australian-based brand With Jéan and a tan leather bomber jacket. Elsewhere, whilst promoting her upcoming third album, Olivia Rodrigo took to London’s Regent’s Canal wearing a pink babydoll and navy pea coat.

Though it might feel contradictory to wear a spring jacket with a dress, these looks are proof that this season is all about embracing these conflicts. Consider it like an extension of the “wrong shoe theory”, as pairing a sturdier jacket with a floaty, one-and-done dress is the most effective way to inject an element of visual contrast into your look. (Whilst also catering to the ever-fluctuating temperature.)
