Spring marks the moment we shed our winter coats - quite literally - days start to get longer, temperatures inch up towards the double digits, and in contrast to when layering clothes reigned supreme and an attitude of more is more was a failsafe in our search for style and comfort, this season is all about balance.

So, how do you build a sartorial arsenal that sees you through from April showers to May flowers without either sweltering or shivering? It starts with a curation of the best spring jackets that make treading this elusive middle ground and layering clothes for spring easy.

1 | THE ULTIMATE SPRING BLAZER

Tailored blazers are no stranger to your rotation of office-to-occasionwear staples, but one in a springtime shade and fluid, lightweight tailoring marks our Relaxed Tailoring Longline Boyfriend Blazer out from the rest.

In a key March Collection colour, it effortlessly slots in alongside our contemporary check tailoring and statement prints to build cohesive spring outfits while addressing the season’s unpredictable weather. Easy to layer with pared-back, more casual pieces as well as event dresses, it’s complemented by a matching trouser to build the ultimate spring-ready suit.

2 | THE DENIM-LOOK BLAZER

Introducing a more casual air to a neatly suited-and-booted staple, this Italian Stripe Tailoring Feminine Blazer is crafted from denim-look tailoring in a soft pinstripe and granted a softer finish thanks to a subtle puff effect on the shoulders.

Double up on the pattern with the coordinating trousers that can be paired with your pick of spring clothing - think silk blouses, cotton shirts, and jersey wardrobe basics. Alternatively, add the striking pattern to printed occasion dresses with the style or keep your palette stripped back with a shirt dress in navy for an easy work-ready AM-PM look.

3 | THE 21ST-CENTURY UTILITARIAN STAPLE

Fusing cues from a classic denim jacket and a cargo-style one, this 21st-century take on a familiar utilitarian staple is crafted from pure-cotton denim in a washed-down finish and features a series of buttoned pockets down the front.

An off-duty stalwart with a contemporary, 21st-century appeal, it’s a refreshing reimagining of two wardrobe staples that can be dressed up or down. Double up on the denim with a pair of wide-leg jeans or a denim midi skirt and for a high-low balance, look to neat tailoring.

4 | THE WORKS-WITH-EVERYTHING BLAZER

Engineered to seamlessly complement dresses, jumpsuits, jeans, and trousers alike, our Italian Check Cropped Blazer falls to a cropped cut. It lines up alongside high waistlines and doesn’t disrupt the flowing silhouette of dresses, highlighting your waist for a flattering finish. 

In crease-resistant Italian check tailoring, the spring-ready piece retains a polished finish from day to night and heroes a combination of black, cream, and yellow for easy styling with your pick of classic winter neutrals and springtime colours, lending it transeasonal appeal. Whether you choose spring outfits in a confident, colour-pop palette or a light blue, pastel one, this effortlessly lends itself to both.

5 | THE OUTERWEAR-KNITWEAR HYBRID

A transitional saviour that is both knitwear and outerwear depending on the season or forecast, our Hand-Crochet Trim Bracelet Sleeve Bouclé Jacket is a multitasking chameleon. By marrying a luxuriously soft blend of cashmere and cotton with a neat construction outlined with a contrasting trim, it manages to be both elevated and easy to wear. 

For Monday to Friday outfitting, it complements polished tailoring (partly in thanks to the line of gold-toned buttons running down the centre and decorating the side pockets) and when Saturday arrives, it effortlessly elevates washed-down denim and more off-duty pieces for a covetable smart-casual balance.

6 | THE ELEVATED STAPLE

The definitive wardrobe staple combining a familiar silhouette with luxe, by-product leather. Granting your outfit soft tactility and a covetable finish, our Supersoft Italian Leather Blazer has a fluid drape and is shaped to a flattering single-breasted silhouette. Adding a directional edge to traditional tailored ensembles while complementing both polished and more pared-back spring outfits, it retains a put-together aesthetic in every pairing. 

By swapping traditional tailoring for leather, the long-sleeved style perfectly addresses this in-between time when we’re straddling warm and colder temperatures while filling your wardrobe with a piece that can be worn on Monday mornings with the same ease as Saturday evenings.

7 | THE OFF-DUTY CLASSIC 

A familiar wardrobe staple since the ‘50s and ‘60s is brought into the 21st century courtesy of our Leather Boyfriend Bomber Jacket.

Crafted from by-product Italian Nappa leather shaped to an oversized fit and signed off with sporty ribbed cuffs, hem and collar for a neater finish, it transforms from a borrowed-from-the-boys piece into a bona fide women's jacket. Granting it a utilitarian touch, angled side pockets are topped with poppers while one of the arms is signed off with a zip to keep your smallest essentials safe when you’ve shrugged this on over everything from a long-sleeved tee or soft layers and signed it off with a scarf.
