Trench coats, leather bombers and denim jackets will always be considered classic spring jackets, but below we offer up some styling tweaks that will make you excited to revisit these old favourites. As for 2025’s trending jacket styles: sporty bombers, track jackets and parkas are all having a moment, and can be used to add an edge to your more tailored pieces. Think a nylon track top tucked into an A-line skirt, or a khaki nylon bomber worn open over a pleated midi-skirt. These jackets all have a certain Britpop energy, which is well-timed given Oasis’s comeback tour is scheduled for this summer – although in the hands of Alexander McQueen and Burberry, these are more fashion-forward than your average anorak. But it’s not all hoods and nylon, as Vogue’s fashion features director Julia Hobbs proved at London Fashion Week with her cream cropped jacket, which she paired with a matching pencil skirt and equally polished accessories.
Whether you’re in the market for a new spring jacket, or simply want some styling ideas to be armed with for the season ahead, keep reading for seven outfit ideas to bookmark now.
