There’s something about the arrival of spring that makes even me, a neutral palette connoisseur, reconsider my wardrobe and inject some colour into it. For me, the easiest way to do this is through jackets.
Luckily for me, designers agree. While blacks and deep burgundies dominated the autumn/winter runways, naturally, the spring/summer runways offered opposing counterparts, leaning into brighter hues and softer pastel palettes. Olive green in particular has caught my eye this year—I can’t stop thinking about the Bottega Veneta trench coat—and we’ve seen the return of the much-loved butter yellow in the form of a stunning bomber jacket on the Loewe catwalk, too.
On the high street, it’s a similar story. Which means tapping into the jacket colour trends of the year couldn’t be easier, no matter your budget. Scroll on to see the spring jacket colour trends to note for 2026 and then shop the best buys for each shade.

Style Notes: When it comes to spring/summer wardrobes, blue plays a vital role and this cobalt iteration feels like a fresh, welcomed change to the usual hues we usually see. This Fendi blazer has well and truly put the colour on my radar and it’s one that instantly injects some colour into your style.

Style Notes: White and spring/summer wardrobes just go hand-in-hand. It’s such a crisp, fresh colour and instantly makes an outfit feel brighter and more put together. I’d style it with a poplin skirt, or opt for white jeans to achieve an all-white look, then take it through to summer with you and throw it on over a floaty dress.

5. Butter Yellow

Style Notes: While yellow is renowned for being a difficult colour to pull off, the more pastel hue of butter yellow is much easier to wear. Its soft shade gives it the versatility to style it with an array of outfits and we predict it to be as big as it was last year. It brings a fresh, refined feel to any look.
