Now that spring is here, it’s finally time to put away all of yourwarm winter coats. But as breezy blouses, cropped pants, and shift dresses become your staples, you’ll need something to layer on for those crisp mornings and chilly evenings that are still ahead.
If you’re looking for something feminine and figure-flattering, think sweeping dusters and wrap coats.
For those who prefer an edgier vibe, take your pick from leather trench coats and boyfriend blazers. Need more inspiration? Check out the six stylish spring jackets celebrities are sporting this season.
Duster Coats
Several stars have taken to the duster coat trend and with good reason: Not only do these lightweight toppers pair well with bandage dresses, as demonstrated by Khloe Kardashian above, but they can help elevate the style of any outfit. It doesn’t matter if you’re layering one over a fancy dress orof-the-moment biker shorts. We like thisCoryn Rose Gold Silky Duster Coat ($157; houseofcb. com).
Leather Trench Coats
A twist on the timeless look, a leather trench coat will help you standout from the masses. Go with a classic cognac, like this Jones New York Leather Belted Trench ($400; macys. com), or bold like Blake in a red patent leather (check out FIND Women’s Red Patent Trench Coat, $116; amazon. com). Either way, you can’t go wrong!
Pretty Pastels
It’s official: Pastel is the is the preferred springtime hue. Whether mint green a la Kate Middleton, lavender, pale blue or blush, trust us when we say that you can wear these tones with everything. We love thisMarni Mint Green A-Line Coat ($460; c21stores. com); play with two of spring’s biggest trends by throwing it over a floral dress.
Wrap Coats
Noting says pulled together like a wrap coat tied at the waist, which essentially creates a taller and leaner silhouette. A soft pink hue, like theForever 21 Longline Wrap Coat ($48; forever21. com)above, is a great alternative to Reese’s robe-like look.
Playful Prints
Investing in printed outwear may not seem like a logical spend, but a playful piece, like thisDries Van Noten Jacquard Lurex Collar Jacket ($1,500; saksfifthavenue. com), can add pizzazz to even the simplest outfit. To make your coat really standout, wear a monochromatic look underneath. If you’re feeling a bit more daring, go ahead and mix those prints.
Boyfriend Blazers
We’re all about that boyish charm. These menswear-inspired toppers can be worn with tailored trousers for casual sophistication or layered over a mini dress for after-hour activities. The key is to look for a loose fit like thisMural Oversize Blazer ($75; nordstrom. com).
