The Difference Between Dragging Through Your Day And Feeling Great On Your Feet? These Arch Support Insoles
It’s March, and I never know what to wear.
It might be 30 degrees when I leave the house in the morning and somehow 70 by mid-afternoon. I’m either sweating in tights I thought I needed or shivering in a too-thin tee I definitely didn’t. After plenty of uncomfortable trial and error, I’ve learned that the real key to surviving spring dressing is transitional outerwear.
The right jacket can completely change your outfit… and your day. You want lightweight layers that keep you warm during those chilly early hours but are easy enough to peel off once the sun decides to show up. In between heavy winter coats and barely-there summer outfits, these pieces do the hard work of balancing comfort and style.
Below, we’ve rounded up five of our favorite jackets to make getting dressed a whole lot easier this March.
Avec Les Filles Quilted Barn Jacket ($58.99)
This jacket’s lightweight quilted design is perfect for March weather. It gives you warmth without the bulk, and the relaxed raglan sleeves make it easy to layer over everything from chunky knits to lightweight tees. I’m especially into the corduroy collar, which adds a chic, countryside-inspired vibe.
This is the kind of jacket I’d throw on for school drop-offs, everyday errands, or weekend farmers markets (basically, any time it’s brisk in the morning but warms up fast).
Caslon Swing Trench Coat ($89.50)
You really can’t talk about transitional outerwear without mentioning a trench coat.
Caslon’s Swing Trench Coat feels especially spring-ready, thanks to its shorter length and boxy fit—plus, that inverted back pleat adds a fun, swingy movement as you walk. It’s made from stretch cotton fabric so it’ll stay comfortable (no stiff, overly structured vibes here) and as a bonus, it layers just as easily over office outfits as it does with more casual looks.
Halfdays Chapelle Water Repellant Fleece Jacket ($99.99 – $175)
If your spring is anything like mine, it includes long walks, playground time with my little one, and early-morning school drop-offs—all of which make a lightweight fleece a must. This one has a relaxed, slightly oversized fit that makes layering easy, but I appreciate that it’s still streamlined enough to wear beyond just “workout mode.”
The anti-pilling fabric helps it maintain a polished look, and the water-repellent finish is a major win for those drizzly, in-between days. It’s everything you want in a go-to spring layer.
Thread & Supply Santa Fe Plaid Fleece Shirt Jacket ($74)
This plaid fleece shirt jacket reminds me of my husband’s oversized button-down that I’m constantly stealing—you know, the kind you throw on over a dress when there’s a slight chill in the air and suddenly the whole outfit feels more interesting? This one captures that same relaxed, borrowed-from-the-boys vibe, but with a fit that feels more intentional and easy to style.
The cozy, brushed texture makes it warm enough to handle cooler temps, while still being lightweight enough to toss on without overthinking it.
Levi’s Faux Leather Bomber Jacket ($79.99 – $120)
I’ve always had a soft spot for a bomber jacket, and they’re such great transitional pieces. This Faux Leather Bomber Jacket by Levi’s is sleek and sporty, with a slightly edgy finish that feels just right for spring. The zippered cuffs and shaping knit hem gives it a classic bomber structure, but the faux-leather texture keeps it feeling modern.
It’s surprisingly versatile, too. Throw it on with jeans and sneakers for errands, layer it over a slip dress for a night out, or wear it with tailored pants when you want something more unexpected.
If March weather keeps you guessing, any of these great transitional jackets are an easy way to stay comfortable without sacrificing style. Happy shopping!
