Spring jackets are something I’m quite picky about as I always look for pieces that are ever so slightly different, that can work with a multitude of different things ( not just jeans) and more importantly that will “age” well. Something that has a timeless side to it so I can wear year in and year out. Some of my the pieces I have in my wardrobe over ten years and work as great go- to pieces to just give something basic a quick lift.
Below I’ve added a selection of different styles to cover every day style to workwear and everything in between :)
The Statement Jacket:
This is definitely for any of my friends on here that loves prints and attention to detail. The embroidered detail on this is really beautiful and ideal to pair with denim or tailored trousers like above.
You can find it here in sizes 8 -18 ( aff link)
The Smart Cargo Jacket:
This is a great option if you are quite busty and struggle to get jackets to sit nicely on. You can also define your waistline with the tie waist detail closed or worn draped open.
You can find it here in sizes 8-22
The Spring Denim Find:
This particular utility style, with the side elastic detail, gives a lot more waist definition than typical jackets like this one. It’s a perfect cut to look at if you tend to carry your weight around your tummy area and you want something tailored but comfortable too as it will nip in at the waist then delicately kick out around the hips.
You can find it here in sizes XS - XXL
The Spring Boucle Find:
This is a lovely option as there’s blue, brown, cream & white combinations throughout. It makes for a great smart Spring jacket to pair with dark wash denims, tailored trousers and even tailored shorts on warmer days.
You can find it here in sizes 8 - 20
The Camo Jacket
Camo jackets are one of my absolute favourites around this time of the year. I have this in a green version from last year and couldn’t help but adore this navy style too. It’s a perfect every day throw on jacket and where you feel instantly “dressed”. This is from Scamp & Dude who do really fun print and colour combinations as well as great quality pieces.
You can find it here in sizes 8-22
The Cropped Trench
Cropped trenches have been a huge trend since last year. There’s a number of different styles and colours from various brands you can come across easily but this specific PU leather style caught my eye as something that would be easy to clean, looks smart and so easy to pair with casual or formal pieces, dresses, high-waisted skirts to jeans!
You can find it here in sizes 10 - 32
The Lemon Blazer
If you’ve followed me for a while you’d know my slight obsession with lemon every spring!:) It’s always so timeless but coincidentally, lemon and soft yellow sorbet tones are considered the “it colour” of Spring 2024.
You can find it here in sizes 8-18
The Spring Shacket
If you are looking for shackets in various lengths - definitely check out the selection of styles on Next. They have great options for lots of sizes and for different colour tastes too. For todays post - I picked this vibrant pink and diamanté find as something that would give an instant lift to any wardrobe. Perfect worn open with a simple t-shirt or worn closed as seen above.
You can find it here in sizes 8- 22
The Pastel Blazer:
Single breasted style blazers are another great option if you are busty - the lapels for example are more streamlined so they’ll sit so much nicer on different bust sizes. Also another hack is to belt your blazer to define your shape - like in the photo above. It works great with jeans and skirts too!
You can find it here in sizes 6 - 24
The Linen Blazer:
Linen is a timeless classic for Spring- particularly paired with a pinstripe as it gives you also more versatility in your wardrobe. While I’ve seen various styles like this on the Highstreet, I liked the added oomph of the embellished detail. You can get the matching co-ords with shorts and a waistcoat, but for me personally I could see myself wearing the blazer itself mostly with light wash denim jeans or wide leg trousers.
You can find it here in sizes 8-18

Absolutely love the statement red piece but I fear it would make me look "boxy" shape wise!
