The quilted jacket

You’re probably safe packing away your puffer jackets, but you’ll still need some insulation for the transitional weeks ahead. These quilted picks combine the retro and the contemporary, fitting in nicely with the huge uptick in bohemian style that’ll define 2025. On warmer days, wear one over a midi-dress and kitten heels; when you’re feeling chillier, try it with a thin sweater, straight jeans, and loafers. (Come summer, you can turn it into your go-to office layer.)

The trench coat

Trench coat weather is one of the most sacred times of the year, when you can layer almost anything in your wardrobe like a pro. Each of these picks is just the right weight to keep you warm in the no man’s land between 50 and 70 degrees, freeing you up to get creative with everything else in your ensemble. A few favorites: a white T-shirt and a sequin skirt; a featherweight cardigan and slim jeans; a minidress and sheer tights; a gray hoodie and matching sweatpants. With a wind- and water-resistant layer on top, you’re set for pretty much anything Mother Nature could throw your way. Oh, and cropped trenches are majorly trending for spring, so we’ve included a few of those as well.

The bomber jacket

The short jacket of choice among fashion people this spring is, without question, the bomber. It’s an ideal layering piece, with a midweight design that can cut through chilly wind without making you sweat or covering up your whole outfit. And on those days when you have to dress for huge temperature swings, bombers offer just enough extra warmth when they’re closed and plenty of airflow paired with miniskirts and denim shorts. Saint Laurent and Tibi showed leather bombers for spring, and we love the idea of juxtaposing them with more feminine pieces; otherwise, you can’t go wrong with a lightweight bomber in a neutral shade like tan, olive, or navy.

The denim jacket

Need we explain the timeless appeal of the jean jacket? This all-season pick is a nonnegotiable any time of year, but it’s especially relevant right now, when you need a layer that offers some breathability. (Bonus points for the fact that it works with two of spring’s biggest trends, boho and prep.) Style your pick with jeans in a matching wash for a full denim-on-denim moment—a major denim trend right now—or try mixing things up with tailored trousers or a satin midiskirt. We’re offering three unique takes on the silhouette below: tried-and-true classics, collarless styles inspired by lady jackets, and remixed gems that feel especially now.

The rain jacket

You know what they say about April showers—so be prepared for all the unexpected downpours ahead with a proper slicker. We’re enamored by the sporty-chic options from Zara, K-Way, and Rains in the trendiest colors of the season (petal pink, soft blue, and butter yellow, respectively) that’ll stand out among a sea of black. If you’d prefer something more classic, though, Boden, Lululemon, and J.Crew offer less flashy picks with just enough personality to make them worth the investment.

The barn jacket

Looking for a lightweight layer you’ll love as much now as five years down the road? Despite being one of the most sought-after silhouettes of the spring, the barn jacket is forever—no matter where the trend cycle goes, there will always be a place for a layering piece with a crisp collar and plenty of pockets. Whether you’re walking the dogs, gardening, or meeting friends for lunch, you’ll look put-together but not too fancy—perfection. We chose these options because they’ll integrate seamlessly into your current capsule wardrobe.

The leather jacket

Minimalist, worn-in leather jackets are trending for 2025, so we’re smitten with styles that look like they could have come right from your favorite vintage store. (Just peep H&M’s oversized gem and Zara’s genuine suede jacket.) But that’s not to say that the classics—moto jackets—are out; Free People and Mango offer two splurge-worthy options in real leather that’ll be aces with a tank top and skinny jeans.
