7 On-Trend Spring Jacket Styles You Can Find Secondhand

Spring is here! That time of year where we can pack away our puffer coats and swap in some lighter layers. The key to any great outfit is outerwear. Your coat or jacket is the most visible item you wear. Whether it’s arriving at the office, meeting up with a friend for coffee, or dropping the kids off at school, your jacket is what the world around you sees. The perfect top layer can elevate the most basic of outfits. Your spring jacket selection can help aid you in curating your closet and give you style direction. Think about what you have in your wardrobe and what your go to spring style is. What would be the most versatile for you? If you love a simple classic look, perhaps a trench coat is for you. Or maybe your style is bold and loud and that trench would help anchor your statement pieces. Perhaps you want to have some fun playing with proportions and a boxy suede jacket would give you your desired silhouette. We have identified seven key spring coat trends that you can find secondhand (or perhaps already own). Why secondhand? Not only is secondhand shopping a more cost effective way to shop, it also helps reduce clothing waste. Buying secondhand clothing helps lower the overall demand for new garments. This saves resources and reduces the greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact. Shopping secondhand will stretch your dollar further and also your personal style.

Unsure of where to start? We have some incredible secondhand finds for you. —Jen Pistor

The Cropped Trench Coat

A newer take on an old classic. Perfect for those who are tired of all the long layers and are looking for a topper that shows off their outfit. The cropped trench is versatile and looks amazing with joggers or your work outfit.

Denim Jackets

The denim jacket has had a glow up. New and interesting silhouettes are being seen on all the most fashionable folks. Think boxy, think patchwork, think interesting lengths and details. You might want to pack your GAP denim jacket away for now and try something new. 

Bomber Jackets

Bomber jackets are a classic style but are definitely having a moment this Spring season. A flowy black pant, crisp white tee, and your fave sneakers topped off with a bomber jacket will have you feeling both timeless and current. 

Plaid Jackets

Usually a print reserved for Fall, plaid has popped on the scene for Spring. Cropped lengths work best for this shoulder season. Plaid can inject a bit of fun and interest to your look. To make sure you are keeping a lighter Spring feel to your outfit try pairing your plaid jacket with lighter wash denim, flowy linens, or dresses and sneakers. 

Track Jackets

Athleisure Wear has been popular for a long time now. For Spring the Track Jackets are being paired with skirts and dresses, denim, and even work attire. It’s a playful juxtaposition of casual and tailored. 

Suede Blazer

The Suede Blazer has been popping up on Fashion Week street wear pages everywhere. It’s most often styled with a very clean aesthetic. Jeans and a white tee, black pants and black top, pinstripe button up and denim trousers, or a stripe top with white pants. It’s a great option for the more minimalist girlie. Just add sneakers or loafers, a simple tote, and your favourite pair of sunglasses. Vintage suede is the best way to go. 

The Leather Jacket

If suede is not your thing, leather is a wonderful alternative.  There are so many excellent condition secondhand leather jackets out there to be found. Leather typically gets better as it ages. Choose a style you love and know you will wear for years to come.
