I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t be happier to step into a new season where lightweight jackets are preferred.
t It’s that time to store away your bulky, heavy coats and bring in your chicest selections of spring outerwear. I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t be happier to step into a new season where lightweight jackets are preferred. Usually fall seems to be most fashionistas’ favorite time of the year for the layering of clothes, the jewel-tone shades, and wool-blend scarves. However, spring has called and it’s ready to have us in the best jackets for our wardrobes. The trends this season that have been seen on the spring 2014 runways, lookbooks, and street style are to die for, and I am so excited to share some new and fresh picks as well as the classics we’ve come to love. From the cargo jacket to the boyfriend blazer, these are nine spring coats you should really consider adding to your collection.

t A bright and cheery jacket would add that necessary pop of color to an all-black outfit, denim wear, or printed ensemble. Check out this classic-shaped yellow trench with a jacquard weave print.

t Get a little sporty with a collegiate style varsity jacket. With sporty luxe being a sought-after trend these last couple of years, spring is the perfect time to try it out for yourself. Wearing it with a feminine dress or boyfriend jeans would suit you well.
