One of the most important pieces in any spring wardrobe is an excellent jacket.

For 2025, the classics are back in favour, feeling just as contemporary as ever. The recent revival of the barn jacket is here to stay, as iterations of the country style continue to flood our favourite stores and Instagram feeds. The classic blazer is set to return once again but brings with it a nod to the textures we’ve embraced over the winter months with suede finishes and deep browns moving away from autumnal restrictions to be celebrated when the skies brighten up.
Leather jackets have also been updated with a simplification void of bold buckles and excessive zips to bring a minimalist take that is sure to last in our forever wardrobes. Alongside you’ll find staple styles returning from the cropped trench coat to the bouclé jacket, bringing a touch of polish to any and all outfits.
Whether there’s a gap in your wardrobe where a great jacket should be, or you’re looking for a little inspiration as the transitional period approaches, you’ll want to scroll on to explore the 6 key jacket trends of 2025.
