TEN OF THE SEASON’S
BEST SPRING JACKETS

Stone Island’s fabric mastery makes it a protagonist in all best spring jacket conversations. This single-breasted mac is cut from fine micro twill with a PFC-free, water-repellent coating to avoid getting soaked by spring showers. Finished with the label’s iconic compass patch to the arm, it’s an unmistakable blend of technical prowess and classic menswear sensibilities.

After four months of wearing wool jackets, it might feel like spring is the season to shake off the woolen shackles, but Max Mara’s Ellen Jacket suggests otherwise. The double-faced virgin wool melton construction is equal parts cozy and elegant, with a supremely clean finish thanks to minimal detailing and pitch-perfect relaxed tailoring.

One of the most welcome returns for spring is the bomber jacket. Fitted with a shawl collar as standard, bomber jackets are one of the keys to good layering, but this iteration from Thom Browne deserves to be on show. The designer’s four-band insignia graces the left arm while tricolor bands detail the cuffs. A light goose-down padding makes this piece appropriate all season.

There’s no denying that leather jackets and faux-leather jackets are a mainstay in winter, but they really come into their own in spring. In keeping with the newly fertile green landscapes, this Andersson Bell Lilu Bomber Jacket features a range of rich green hues.

LEMAIRE’s focus on silhouette and fabric means that it’s always a winner in spring. The Boxy Denim Jacket offers concrete evidence with a relaxed fit and a body punctuated by details like exaggerated flap pockets to draw eyes in.

Using the storied Alpha Industries MA-1 Bomber Jacket as the base, MadeMe reframes the classic spring jacket. Ruffled embellishment to the chest uses the shiny nylon taffeta fabric to its advantage, playing with light and emphasizing the detail.

When it comes to chore jackets, sticking with one of the world’s best workwear brands is always a safe bet. Carhartt Work in Progress has long proven its ability to meld style and substance, and pieces like the OG Chore Denim Jacket are central to that.

Trompe L’œil denim emerged as a thriving trend in recent seasons, with brands like Jean Paul Gaultier and Our Legacy leading the charge. For SS24, Ottolinger joins in, serving up an intricately printed lightweight spring jacket that gives the impression of heavy embellishment.

While Jacquemus is no stranger to maximalist detailing and bold color palettes, the ‘Le blouson Linu’ Jacket shows a more demure side to the brand’s repertoire. Raglan sleeves contribute to the relaxed fit while subtle detailing like the chunky zip pull leaves a lasting impression.

Welcome back the overshirt for spring. When it comes to women’s spring jackets, loose-fitting pieces like this Isabel Marant Etoile overshirt come in handy, allowing for layering as well as being wildly versatile. Throw it on over just about anything for a clean finishing touch.
