March 20 marked the first official day of spring, and with that comes the excitement of warmer days ahead. As we say goodbye to our winter coats, it is essential that our spring wardrobes are ready to go.
Even though spring means we’re one step closer to summer, it’s still important to have enough clothing options for the in-between weather. One notable item is the jacket. Jackets can keep you warm on cooler days while tying your entire look together. This is why it’s important to have a solid collection of jackets that can be worn for any occasion.
If you’re not sure where to start on your jacket-hunting journey, look no further. VALLEY has compiled a list of trendy jacket options just in time for your next outing.
Leather Or Pleather

Leather jackets are a popular option that never miss. If you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a real leather jacket, don’t worry. Pleather, or faux leather, is an affordable choice that looks just like the real thing.
Leather jackets are perfect for any time of day. Pair one with a miniskirt and some boots for a day trip to the city, or throw one over your favorite top with jeans before hitting the town. Besides black, these jackets come in other colors such as maroon, red and brown. These other colors are ideal for those who may prefer to wear lighter colors during the day.

Bomber Jackets

If you prefer a grungier look, a bomber jacket is definitely for you. Bomber jackets are a little puffier than leather jackets but are both comfy and cute. Pair it with some leather pants for an evening look or with your favorite pair of jeans. Or go baggy-on-baggy by pairing one with some cargo pants, VALLEY loves to see it.
Check out Zara’s collection of bomber jackets, which range in a variety of fabrics and styles. If you like leather jackets but wish they were baggier, a leather bomber jacket would be an excellent choice. With “cropped waistlines, elasticized waistbands, and cuffs,” these “Top Gun”-style jackets exude “rugged charm and nonchalant coolness.”
Perfect Puffers

Short puffer jackets are perfect to wear for walking to class on colder days. The beauty of puffers is that the color options are endless. Waterproof puffers are also a fashionable, yet practical choice for those April showers.

We also recommend puffer vests for days where it’s a little less cold. Vests will keep your body warm while still allowing you to show off your amazing outfit. For a cute and sporty look, pair a puffer vest with your favorite hoodie, leggings and a hat. You’ll look like you just came from pilates class (We won’t tell anybody if you didn’t).

Crazy For Corduroy

Corduroy is often slept on, so VALLEY is here to bring it some justice. Corduroy was originally popular in the 1970s when it was adored by artists, musicians and directors, but it is certainly making a comeback.
Corduroy jackets are an amazing choice for classes, coffee dates and any adventures in between. They can be used for smart or more casual looks, depending on what you pair them with. Pair one with matching corduroy pants to look corporate ready, or style one with your favorite jeans for an everyday vibe.
Nordstrom has a collection of cute corduroy options and Windsor is selling a cropped jacket that is currently 55% off, so now’s the time to hop on the trend.
Classic Denim

We can’t suggest jackets for spring without including the reliable jean jacket. This staple can tie together any outfit for any occasion. Gaining popularity in the 80s, these jackets are still classic, trendy pieces that can be rocked by all ages. Denim jackets are an amazing choice for class, dinner with friends, heading to the movies and so much more. Throw one over your favorite fit to complete your fabulous look.
Check out some cute jean jackets from Hollister and American Eagle.

Do we dare to suggest a denim-on-denim look? We’re personally obsessed, but we’ll leave that decision to you.
