Sure, spring fashion may be all about ditching layers, but those early weeks in the season can still get pretty chilly, so having a good transitional jacket or two in rotation is a must. "A great spring jacket is a style that will transition easily for your end of winter wardrobe to your summer closet," Atlantic-Pacific blogger and influencer Blair Eadie tells Town & Country. "Typically, I think of this as a mid to lightweight third piece that doesn't have heavy detailing or styling that would make it feel too wintery."
Ahead, we rounded up the very best spring jackets to add to your warm-weather wardrobe this season, along with some clever style tips courtesy of Eadie. From timeless trench coats that will shield you from all those unexpected April Showers, to wear-everywhere denim jackets, to comfy quilted jackets for those days when the weather can't make up its mind, there's a topper for every gal on our list.
