Punxsutawney Phil may have predicted another six weeks of winter this past Groundhog Day, but it’s never too early to start dreaming about dressing for spring weather. While it can be hard to transition your wardrobe as one season gives way to another, you can make the switch a little easier by stocking up on some new jackets and coats that you can wear as the snow flurries turn into sunny skies.
Bomber Jackets
A streetwear piece that has been in style for a few years, bomber jackets are lightweight and easy to wear, pairing with just about any outfit imaginable. Their short collars provide some wind protection, though not as much as a funnel or stand-up collar. However, this makes them a perfect layering piece: this jacket can be worn underneath your winter coats not only as an extra layer of protection from harsh winds, but also as a completer piece for your outfit that puts the finishing touch on your look. Once the weather warms up, you can then throw on your your bomber jacket as a light option to keep you covered on your way to that 8 a.m. class. If bomber jackets sound like a piece worth investing in, check out the selection offered by ASOS; their men’s and women’s offerings are both reasonably priced (most start at around $40) and right on trend.
Coach Jackets
This classic piece and emergent trend for spring 2017 will be the perfect jacket to carry you into the spring weather. Coach jackets have a simple silhouette, with a traditional flat collar and either a zipper or single set of buttons running down the center of the jacket. What gives them a modern update are their novelty, graphics, prints, and even their material, which can range from denim and canvas to nylon and even wool. Also serving as a layering piece during the winter months, the coach jacket will add another layer of warmth under your coat while also adding to your look; but as soon as spring makes its arrival, feel free to wear the jacket on its own. To find a stylish coach jacket to add to your wardrobe, check out Urban Outfitters, which offers a vast selection for both men and women in energizing colors and prints that you’re sure to be wearing all spring long.
Trench Coats
While trench coats are a wardrobe must-have, they also happen to be a major trend for spring 2017, which means they are getting a facelift in the process. Done in vibrant colors and modern silhouettes with exaggerated lapels and oversized belts, the trench coat is no longer a boring, brown waterproof coat, but instead another vehicle through which to show your personality. Adding this coat to your wardrobe in the late winter months will be especially helpful when snowstorms turn into downpours. The best part is that some have a removable lining, which will keep you warm through colder temperatures and can then be taken out once those springs showers start. For a refreshing trench coat style, head over to Need Supply Co., which boasts a stock of trendy trench coat styles for guys and girls; though some items are a bit costly, they have a wide variety of styles that are sure to please even the pickiest of shoppers.
Winter may be here to stay for a few more weeks, but you can start planting the seeds of your spring style now so that, by the time sunny days arrive, your style will be in full bloom!
