The 3 Coolest Spring Jackets, and How to Wear them
3
The Leather Jacket
The beauty of a leather racing jacket like this one from Cole Haan is that it’s streamlined and minimal. Instead of the buttons, zippers, or one-too-many pockets you might see on a traditional jacket, all the hardware here is matte black metal, so it blends in with the cowhide instead of standing out. Tie it together with slim-cut jeans and differently textured boots and a bag (like suede or coated canvas seen here). A gray tee is a change of pace from the go-to white shirt.
Cole Haan Bonded Raw Edge Leather Jacket, $696; colehaan.com. Rag & Bone T-shirt, $95; rag-bone.com. Levi’s Made & Crafted Tack Slim jeans, $178; levi.com. AllSaints Reiner Chelsea boots, $285; allsaints.com. State Bags Preston, $135; statebags.com.
The Blended Blazer
An unlined blazer in a blended fabric strikes the right note between comfort and formality. This one from Billy Reid is a silk-linen mashup that’s breathable and resists wrinkles—in cooler climates, a wool-linen blend can do the same thing. It’ll work well with a great pair of khakis, a smart, slim briefcase, and a relaxed dress shoe.

The Waxed Cotton Jacket
This waxed cotton field jacket from Alex Crane is water-resistant, made for those unpredictable seasonal showers. You can get away with a bold color by pairing it with neutral basics like off-white sneakers, a gray crewneck, a leather backpack, and sand-colored jeans.
Alex Crane Point Jacket, $195; alexcrane.co. Nautica cotton crewneck sweater, $70; nautica.com. Best Made Co. Standard Five Pocket Pant, $128; bestmadeco.com. Saturdays NYC Mike Low sneaker, $195; saturdaysnyc.com. Coach 1941 League Backpack, $695; coach.com.
