The arrival of spring always sparks a shift — not only in my overall mood (seasonal depression queens unite!) but in my day-to-day wardrobe. Every March, I say so long to ankle-grazing winter parkas and hello to lightweight layers, florals and loads of colour.
Now, you may be thinking: It's basically April, which means it's basically May, which means it's basically June; we're (almost) in the clear. Why would I need a new jacket? However, need I remind you: we live in Canada; thus, forecast-wise, we're never in the clear. Fickle weather is always on the horizon, so investing in a few transitional pieces wouldn't be a bad idea.
Whether you're a classic trench kind of gal, a fan of quilted coats or need something weather-friendly that can handle the occasional spring shower, we've rounded up 16 spring jackets that will check all of your sartorial boxes this season. As a Canadian looking to buy from Canadian brands, I've gone one step further and included my top picks from north-of-the-border retailers.
