    30 Light Jackets You’ll Be Glad To Own As The Weather Continues To Change Its Mind This Spring

    These will get you through the yo-yo of temperatures spring brings with it.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

    1. A Levi's denim jacket about to be your go-to pick from now until forever. Seriously, this is such a closet staple that you'll never go wrong with it. It'll look just as good with a turtleneck and jeans in early spring as it does with shorts and a bra during those later warm days.

    2. water-resistant raincoat to protect you from the (inevitable) rain that comes every spring. Reviewers love this style because it looks like a chic trench coat but actually keeps you dry during a storm. Plus, it's great for traveling!

    Columbia

    Promising review: "After a long search, I found this rain jacket of my dreams! The high-tech fabric is waterproof but breathable, and lined so you don't have bare arms up against its mildly plastic feel. The jacket is long, to cover my tush instead of directing water to drip down onto it. The hood is adjustable, at the back, to keep it from falling forward over your eyes. The pockets are sizeable and easily accessible. And the tie-belt holds it in when I need warmth." —Ruth A

    Get it from Columbia for $52+ (available in sizes XS–XXL in seven colors and 1X–3X in four colors).

    3. A simple bomber jacket you'll reach for in the morning when you want to put that nice finishing touch on your simple jeans and tee outfit.

    Promising review: "This is a great jacket! The jacket is lightweight but warm. It's perfect for fall and spring! The faux leather is very high quality and very soft. I don't wear leather, but if you do, it looks like real leather. It doesn't smell funny or feel like plastic, like some. It's very well-made. Plus, it's a great price. It fits as expected. They said this was in US sizes, and I confirm that to be true. I ordered a medium, and it fits perfectly. I highly recommend it!" —zhaowei998

    Everlane

    Promising review: "This coat lived up to my expectations! It is beautiful and well-made. The coat was longer than I expected, about mid-thigh. I can wear thinner sweaters and not feel constricted. I am wearing it as an indoor suit coat as well as a fall or spring coat. Heavy enough for 30’s-50’s F temperatures. But I live in Northern Wisconsin, where 40 degrees is a suggestion for closed-toe shoes, but shorts are still worn. Not by me though. ;)" —Sarah

    Get it from Amazon for $63.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 22 colors).

    15. An Athleta jacket designed with recycled Thinsulate insulation to keep you warm when it's sunny outside but also windy so there's still a chill in the air. You'll be able to take your dog for a nice long walk and get some vitamin D without freezing.

    model wearing the jacket in black
    Athleta

    I've had this jacket for a couple of years now, and I love it so much. It's super lightweight yet warm. I find myself reaching for it a lot in the spring because it's not bulky yet it does still protect me, especially when I take my dog for a walk. I love the high neckline style and that the hem is longer in the back. It's perfect to wear with leggings, but I have also worn it to travel and paired it with jeans for a great day of sightseeing. Overall, this is a high-quality jacket I think everyone needs in their closet.

    Promising review: "LOVE this jacket. It's just the right level of warmth on warmer winter or cooler spring days. Fashionable too! I wear it all the time." —anonymous

    Get it from Athleta for $199 (available in sizes XXS–3X and M–XL tall).

    Promising review: "I LOVE this jacket. It's fashionable, well-made, and warm. It's a little warmer than I thought, which makes it great for wearing outside in spring and fall weather. I wore it to work one day as my third piece, but I had to take it off mid-day. Just got me a little too warm. The quality is fabulous. You will not be disappointed." —Christie D. Nielsen

    Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in three colors).

    19. A stylish shawl collar coat so cute that all your friends will ask to borrow it, and you'll say, "Sorry, my hands are ~tied~."

    Promising reviews: "It’s perfect. The material is great for the cooler fall/spring temps." —sassytraveller

    "Love this so much!!!! The sleeves and shoulders/upper back are a little too snug/tight, but everything else fit just right. I bought two so far, and plan to get as many as I can in my size! I get so many compliments when I wear them. The best part is that it’s not just fashionable, it’s also very warm! I love the pockets, and I love, love, love the broad collar!" —Rev Cass

    Get it from Amazon for $69.90 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and in nine colors).

    20. A fitted faux leather moto jacket perfect to wear when you go out with friends and don't want to bring a big bulky jacket (that you'll take off immediately when you get inside). This one is super cool and will, for sure, get you a ton of compliments.

    Promising review: "I did not think much of this coat when I first bought it and even when I opened it because it was vacuum sealed, but I just popped it in the dryer for a couple of minutes, and it came out beautiful. It’s awfully fluffy and really warm, it really exceeded my expectations. The color is beautiful and the price you cannot beat; that's well worth it!! Also, it runs true to size." —Tiffanie

    Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 16 colors).

    22. A water-resistant packable puffer meant to fold up small (into the included pouch) so you can take it on your adventures and know that you're always covered if it gets a bit colder (or rainier) than you expected.

    Promising review: "I bought this as a backup for a trip to Boston — just in case I needed it. I LIVED in this the entire time. Adds plenty of warmth with minimal bulk. It is now my official go-to jacket for those spring and fall days when it’s too warm for a coat but too cold to go without" —MTB918

    Get it from Amazon for $32.60+ (available in sizes XS–6X and in 119 colors).

    25. A utility jacket with a cinched-waist design, meaning you can essentially style this two different ways. Throw it over your favorite hoodie for a dressed-up athleisure look or with your favorite pair of jeans for a casual outfit that's perfect for running errands on Saturday morning.

    Promising review: "I can’t say enough about this vest! Worth the price I paid; it’s perfectly cropped and has the adjuster pieces at the bottom to cinch it tighter if you like that look. Light weight but the “puffer” effect really helps keep you warm. The perfect outer layer for fall or spring I find myself wearing it constantly since purchasing it!😍" —Allie Conefrey

    Get it from Amazon for $36.97 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 19 colors). 

    27. A FP Movement fleece jacket combining both comfort and style into one cozy jacket you can wear as you hit the tennis or pickleball courts. Reviewers love this jacket so much that many have returned to buy it in more colors, which is a true sign of its greatness.

    FYI, if you have Amazon Prime you can try before you buy!

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this jacket. I love that you can remove the belt as well which wasn't something I was expecting to be able to do. It looks great! I bought it for wearing over dresses in the spring and fall and for going out with the gals. The sleeves are slightly long, but I don't mind, and I don't notice." —Syl

    Get it from Amazon for $54+ (available in sizes XS–4X and 20+ colors and styles).

    29. A button-down cropped corduroy shacket that's the perfect mix of a shirt and a jacket to give you an option that has a little bit of weight to it but not too much that'll it'll actually weigh you down and cause you to sweat as soon as you step outside.

    Promising review: "I wanted a simple jacket that was fashionable and that I could dress up or down and this was it. It's a spring jacket, and I love the soft and comfortable fabric. It fits perfectly. I'd buy again in more colors!" —Kay M.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 16 colors and patterns). 

    30. A long-line coat reviewers swear looks more expensive than the price tag. When you wear it, you may believe you're in Paris even if you're just in your own little neighborhood. And when the sun starts to shine a little too much, you can drape it over your shoulder for a look that's ~très chic~.

    If you plan on wearing thick sweaters and lots of layers, reviewers suggest sizing up one size so the coat isn't too snug!
