How to Wear Transitional Jackets for Spring
‘Tis the time for that sort of warm, sort of breathable jacket to make way to the front of your coat closet. Because the weather can’t seem to decide whether to be warm, cold, rainy, sunny, snowy or somehow all of these in one day. A quick fix to transitional dressing - incorporate your jacket as part of your outfit in case you decide to keep it on.
Here are four go-to staple jackets and how to remix them during this transitional month.
Sporty Bomber
STYLE TIP:
Try a short-sleeve bomber this season from the quintessential cool brand, Sacai, and layer with long sleeve cotton tees. Dress up a bomber anytime with a midi dress or skirt and a sporty kitten heel or sneaker. It’s all in the textile choices when coordinating sporty styles together, think: nylon, stretch crepe, and mesh. Add a simple huggie earring for a minimal touch.

Mixed Moto
STYLE TIP:
Don’t be afraid to mix moto jackets with alternative shirting. They don’t always require that worn-in band tee. Swap that for a silky top that leans workwear but style with raw edge pants or jeans and cowboy boots for a remixed look that leans cool.

Timeless Denim
STYLE TIP:
When the sun is expected to come out just past 10am and warm up throughout the day, a denim jacket is a versatile, down-to-earth option to pair with a colorful jumpsuit and easy around town clogs and a tote for your necessities. Toss the jacket arms over your shoulders once it warms up or drape through your tote handles.

Classic Trench
STYLE TIP:
Pull out your trench and take her for a spin to get you through April showers. Let your trench do the talking by picking one with unique colors, unexpected detailing, or one with a modern twist on this classic staple with unique silhouettes or proportions. Pair as a full look with simple, understated basics like a white button-up and cropped dark wash denim. Go for a chic take on wellies to stay dry head to toe.
