There is a very specific sartorial purgatory that occurs between the bitter cold of winter and the true warmth of spring. It's a time when a heavy wool overcoat is suffocating, but a light cardigan leaves you shivering. Enter: the transitional coat.
This season, outerwear is taking a slightly more relaxed approach. The rigid, structured trenches of the past have given way to fluid, unlined dusters and oversized leather bombers that offer both warmth and effortless style.
We've scoured the collections to find the perfect middle-ground pieces. From lightweight quilted jackets that pack down to nothing, to versatile gabardine macs that withstand unpredictable spring showers, the key is layering capability.
Investing in the right transitional coat is perhaps the smartest wardrobe decision you can make. It's the piece you'll reach for daily, bridging the gap between seasons with style and practicality.
