The quick glimpse of sunshine over the past few days has me dreaming of spring. The frosty chill has dissipated and bright, even warm days on their way. Excitingly, this means that soon enough we will only need knitwear and a chic jacket. I can't explain why, but I just have this thing for jackets. I firmly believe they have the power to make any outfit look cooler—that, or they can totally let the side down if you don't have the right options at your disposal.
Right on cue, there are plenty of jackets to shop at the moment which, for layering obsessives like me, is such a treat. However, I'm aware that spending hours scrolling through every jacket section online isn't other people's idea of time well spent.
As such, I decided to put my shopping prowess to good use and bring you an edit of the very best high-street jackets. I trawled through the new-in sections of each and every high-street store to bring you the top three styles from each—all of which you'll find below. Common themes include leather bomber jackets and chic cropped woollen silhouettes. Throw in some quilted jacket and patchwork, and I guarantee you're sure to find a jacket to suit you, whatever your sartorial preferences.
Keep scrolling to see and shop the best high-street jackets currently on offer, neatly categorised by brand. I challenge you not to buy one (or three).
