Timeless Spring/Summer 2026 Jackets: Wardrobe Staples

Certain jacket styles endure through the seasons and the years. The trench coat, leather jacket, and blazer are timeless classics that suit every style and occasion. And that doesn’t mean they aren’t at the heart of theSpring/Summer 2026 trend!

Discover our tips for adopting them as well as our selections:

The trench coat: the must-have spring-summer jacket

The trench coat is the ultimate lightweight rain jacket for spring 2026. Choose one in an oversized fit, made of cotton canvas or water-repellent technical fabrics. The key colors are sandy beige, chocolate brown, olive khaki, and "Butter Yellow." Wear it over a suit for an "Office Siren" look or with wide-leg jeans for a more casual vibe.

The trench coat remains the safest investment in a woman's wardrobe. In 2026, the trend is moving away from fitted styles in favor of generous silhouettes and extra-long lengths.

Style tip: If you're under 5'3", choose a style with a defined waistline to avoid making your figure look shorter. You'll also love the short trench coat: this cropped version is fresher and more modern, making it perfect for summer evenings.

Lightweight or regenerated leathers in burgundy, charcoal, or matte black are favored to add energy to mid-season looks.

Which jacket style should you wear based on your personal style?

The blazer: the chic spring-summer jacket

The blazer is the ultimate chic and versatile jacket. While the oversized version remains a wardrobe staple, the Spring/Summer 2026 season marks a turning point with more refined cuts that play with volume and length.

  • The crossover blazer: architectural elegance

Toelevate your office or evening look, the double-breasted blazer is the key piece. Unlike a single-breasted blazer, its panels overlap across the chest to create a wrap-around effect. If you’re looking to elongate your silhouette, go for this style: the higher neckline draws the eye toward your head and accentuates your waist.

  • The cropped blazer: the "Short & Chic" trend

Spottedon the runways, this cropped version hits just above the navel. It instantly adds a dynamic touch to any outfit by breaking with traditional tailoring conventions. Pair it with a pleated mini-skirt for a bold preppy look, or with high-waisted wide-leg pants for an ultra-modern contrast of proportions.

The suede jacket: the ’70s obsession of Spring/Summer 2026

The suede jacketreaffirms its status as a star fabric for Spring/Summer 2026. While it remains the hallmark of bohemian style, this season it takes on a more "boyish" (androgynous) look inspired by the Miu Miu runway shows. Choose it in cognac, tobacco, or sand tones, with straight or oversized cuts.

Suede has stood the test of time without losing any of its appeal. In 2026, the suede jacket is no longer content to simply complement ruffled dresses; it now completes more structured, androgynous looks.

How should you wear a suede jacket?

To embrace this trend, play with contrasts. If you’re wearing an earth-toned suede jacket, pair it with a button-down shirt and wide-leg jeans for a more casual look.

A cross between a parka and a windbreaker, this trendy, sporty jacket for 2026 is both practical and stylish. It features fashion-forward details such as cropped or boxy silhouettes, elasticated waists, and pastel colors and spring-inspired patterns.

Gorpcore (the trend of wearing hiking gear in the city) continues to gain traction. For an even more stylish look, play with contrasts: pair a pastel yellow technical windbreaker with a silk midi skirt.

In 2026, fashion is all about the details, and the high neck is what transforms a basic piece into a fashion statement. Whether you call it a funnel neck, funnel collar, or funnel neckline, this vertical design elongates the silhouette and shields you from spring breezes with unparalleled elegance.

For an ultra-modern look, choose a jacket with a high collar made of technical fabric or stiff cotton. If you zip your jacket all the way up, pull your hair back into a sleek bun to accentuate the look’s architectural feel.
