Smartish spring jacket

Hi I’m looking for a light smartish spring jacket (not a blazer) has anyone any ideas? Fancy green or blue as a colour but open to all suggestions. Quite like this one but it’s typically sold out in my size! 👇🏻

Me too! All I can find is denim jackets or "dog walking" coats. I want something smart casual.

KatBum40 had a nice one from Zara yesterday. Quite a bright green.

Yes so many denim jackets everywhere

Whistles have got jersey blazers although they are a bit too work like for casual me.

Crew have got a linen blazer in navy. I have got an ancient Jaegar navy linen blazer that is an absolute staple in anything other than winter for me. I was hoping that someone might have a dark grey or black casual linen blazer but all I can find is navy.

I was about to start the exact same thread so I’m jumping in here! I have a denim jacket that I like but can’t do the whole double denim thing so want something I can wear with my jeans. Struggling to find anything that grabs me.

I bought a salmonish blazer today but still looking for a darker option!

Mint Velvet tend to do lovely spring jackets - casual but in good fabrics that make them work with smarter looks too.

Bum40 is a big fan of Zara for this kind of coat. I am pretty casual so my smartest jacket at this time of year is a military style jacket. mine is a khaki one from Hush (last years) but a work colleague has a really nice one from Next that was half the price. I keep meaning to get a boucle jacket as well, again Hush or Zara usually have a few choices.

I just bought this one from a recommendation on another thread www.johnlewis.com/hush-military-jacket-khaki/p3613061

Oops, cross post with CountFosco who was also recommending military jackets!

I have ordered the wren biker jacket from Boden (with 25% off) but it’s not in stock yet so still awaiting its arrival! It’s a kind of waxed cotton which I quite liked the look of.

Ooh thanks will have a look
