What spring coat/jacket will you be wearing?

I need some inspiration. I only have winter coats and a couple of suit jackets for work and that is it. I need to get something lighter for spring but I have no idea what I want.

I find Spring so tricky! Hard to find one jacket or coat for all occasions (much easier to have one good winter coat, I find).

I’ve got a few of blazers (navy, black, camel) and a denim jacket for milder weather and a light coloured trench coat for chillier weather. Need some sort of hooded raincoat, though, for ‘pissing it down’ weather, which will probably be most days! Grin.

Smaller bomber jacket puffer then in summer I want a rainbow themed bomber jacket.

Following with interest - I have an ancient, light swing coat that needs replacing. I would love something similar but with a hood for spring showers.

I use this for work as it goes with most of my work clothes.

I have a few jackets that I can only really wear for a few weeks in spring, in between too cold and too hot.

Trench coat
Leather jackets
Denim jacket
Cloak coat

@Outwithreason what is a car coat?! That’s a new one on me.

I have a Barbour jacket which is butt-length. It's warm when zipped up. I also still wear my long duvet-style coat on cold days. In fact, until I start to sweat, I wear that. On hot days, I have a camel coloured light coat of sorts from Primark.

I haven't a clue what a car coat is! I just liked how unfussy it is.

I am looking for something like this, I like the sweaty Betty stride but it’s out of budget for me at the moment !
I have a leather jacket I tend to wear in spring but need something for when it rains.

I've got a really light but waterproof hooded mac that tends to get a lot of wear at this time of year. I'd like something smarter for work though.

I remember my mother had the most gorgeous camel, wool, belted car coat. It was just so effortlessly stylish.

I like this one! I was thinking I'd probably be happy to pay up to £100 and this is right on budget.

Also darker colours suit me better.
