It’s the first day of spring, and with that, we would like to take this opportunity to rid those bulky coats, faux furs, and puffers from your wardrobe. What a relief! Now that there is room in your closet, there’s no better time to shop the best spring jackets. On the streets of New York and London, women have already upgraded their style with five new outerwear trends we’re expecting to see all season long.

Elevated trench coats in surprising hues like pale pink or optic white are making a comeback, as are a plethora of patent styles, which will come in especially handy for those rainy April days. For chillier weather, Saks Potts’s orange gloss patent leather jacket or Anine Bing’s plush bomber will prove warm enough, while windbreakers from Sandy Liang and Ganni provide an effortlessly cool look no matter the climate. (Pro tip: Buy these anoraks oversize for a sporty look and then tighten up those drawstrings for a touch of femininity at the waist.)

Patchworks and animal prints from leopard to snake to even cow are available for those who like to make a statement, while monochrome denim jackets in cream and black washes are perfect for those who favor something more minimalistic. If we learned anything from the women attending the Fall 2019 shows, bulky, drab jackets are so last season.
