So, then, what coats/jackets are you all wearing this Spring?

[MyRealNamesBernard]

I am in a bit of a style rut, at the moment, over what coat or jacket to wear. To be honest, I am always in a bit of a style rut at this time of year. Winter, I can do (big fur-lined parkas and duffel coats), but Spring I fail. I just end up sweltering in the winter coat.

So, what does everyone else wear? I need inspiration! (If it helps, I work from home and only get out of the house to do the shopping/school run) so don't need anything ultra-smart.

I've just ordered a wool blazer, hopefully for spring and autumn.

I've been freezing in a summer jacket for the last week or so .

What do you wear otherwise Bernard?

I will be wearing my black leather biker until it gets too warm.

My mum bought me a lovely brown leather jacket for my birthday so I shall be wearing that lots.

And I have my eye on this

I bought a clever parka from Oasis this winter which has a detachable faux fur lining, so I'll be detatching that and wearing onwards for a while. Otherwise I switch to blazers and scarves.

Thank you for your replies.

Outer: I am a bit of a boring casual jeans, jumper, shirt and converse sort of dresser. I either wear oversized shirt/jumpers with skinny jeans or boyfriend jeans with fitted jumpers/tops. I reckon the wool blazer might go well with the latter... might google that now.....

I just bought this as a spring throw on jacket

I keep trying on jersey blazers, but they always make me look a bit frumpy.

A trench coat.

Would go very well with what you wear and always looks smart. Gap do good ones.

Otherwise an olive green utility jacket would work.

Marking my place; am overheated in my puffy padded and wool winter coats but freezing in my parka.
Where's the middle ground....I am wearing 2 fleeces today...must change before the school run!

I love spring jackets!

I have:

-Mint Velvet tan leather biker jacket with fur collar - Ebay bargain £50

-Zara dark grey jersey blazer

-Boden denim photographer jacket

-Phase Eight long cardigan. It's very thick so I wear it instead of a coat when the weather's in between like now.

I've also got a Boden rainy day mac in black but usually only wear that in the rain!

If it's not too cold, my lovely dusky pink coat I gt from Toast last year. It's a lovely weight, cocoon shaped and I don't care if pink might be so last season, I love it and it suits me.

For the last few springs and autumns I've been wearing a red trench mac thing from M&S intended as a dead cheap stopgap, but it's so useful. I'm wearing it now. If I ever buy a posh trench I would definitely consider red. As with red shoes it goes with a surprising number of things.

I have a black leather biker, black peacoat, grey wool blazer, navy trench and a ilse Jacobsen long raincoat for the school run, which is the most flattering shape on me ever.

A jersey blazer (but I drive to work so don't have to be warm). I would love a navy trench as think it would be perfect for spring and winter jacket dilemma. Like the look of the one currently for sale in Gap.

Could someone please direct me towards a wool blazer? Would love one in blue, also, would love a jersey blazer but not too short? Help required, need to get out of the high street shops and onto some online hidden gems. Any help very much appreciated. I am 5ft 2 and a size 14 but trying to shrink to a 12.

This is all brilliant! I am torn between the red trench or a pea coat. I need a bit of warmth, you see. I am still open to more ideas, though!

Love biker jackets but I can't really wear very short jackets as they make my hips look strange and, sadly, most bikers are short on me.

I actually own a khaki cargo from last season but it's so thin it's practically a shirt, so it's for very warm days only.

I pretty much live in my biker jacket from March to May, unless it's chucking it down. I also have a cropped trench, a couple of fabric bikers and various little blazers, plus a plain cotton bomber jacket. I'd really like a v lightweight parka, for duller/rainy days.

Oh and cropped denim jackets for warmer days.

I always struggle with Spring outerwear too.i got a navy peacoat jacket a couple of years ago which is brilliant with jeans/trousers, but I over the last few months I've changed my work wardrobe so that I wear dresses pretty much all the time and have no idea what to wear over them! (I live in Scotland so warmth still important in summer spring).
