Finally, spring has arrived, which means one thing: lightweight jacket season. Much as we love the tailored wool coats of winter, it’s time for a refresh, and we’ve got newness by the bounty. From preppy chore and wax jackets and vintage-inspired suede to a pop of red inspired by Jacob Elordi’s enviable wardrobe, scroll to shop our edit of men’s jackets ready for spring.

Oh, and did we mention? While they all look mega-spenny, they’re actually all high street. You’re welcome.
