Spring has officially arrived, bringing longer days, lighter wardrobes and the occasional glimpse of bare arms. But if there’s one thing an Auckland spring can be relied upon for, it’s keeping us on our toes. Blue skies can turn to showers before lunch, while a sunny morning rarely guarantees an equally warm commute home.

Enter the transeasonal jacket: light enough to shrug off when the temperature climbs, but substantial enough to provide a little extra coverage when the forecast inevitably changes its mind. This season’s best iterations make a case for outerwear that works hard without feeling heavy. This season, there’s no shortage of options worth layering into your wardrobe. Think the oh-so-trendy funnel-neck jacket, as seen at Caitlin Crisp; sporty windbreakers courtesy of Commonplace Essentials; or polished, work-ready blazers from Maggie Marilyn and Ruby.

Whatever the forecast has in store, read on for our edit of the transeasonal jackets worth adding to your spring rotation.
