At last, we are putting our winter coats away (for the last time we hope!) and swapping them in for transitional jackets, trenches, and lightweight knits. But with so many outerwear options perfect for spring, it can be hard to know which style is best for you. From barn jackets and denim jackets, to blazers and fleeces, which is the most wearable and best value for money?
Well, a biker jacket easily fits that bill, and this pale pink option from Primark is a great way to try the style out for yourself without having to break the bank. The faux leather material means it's great for all weathers as it’s rain-proof, wind-proof, and wipeable. Use the asymmetric zip to keep yourself warm, or leave the jacket open on those sunnier days.
We can also imagine this being the type of jacket that’s great both true-to-size or sized up. Sticking to your regular sizing will give you the classic biker jacket fit that’s slightly boxy with the hem sitting just at the waistline. However, if you size up, it allows you the option to add a thicker jumper underneath (something that’s often needed in the changeable spring weather), but also gives a more oversized, casual look that helps offset how much of a statement piece this is.
And a moment for the colour, please! We’ve never known a colour to sing spring as much as this pale pink. The blush hue is so complementary to darker colours, making it easy to pair with a dark wash pair of jeans or a black midi skirt.
The jacket will do most of the talking when it comes to putting an outfit together, meaning you won’t need to think too hard about what to pair it with. We recommend your favourite pair of jeans and a pair of black boots. Or for a more classic springtime look, a skirt would be a great feminine touch to contrast the edginess of the jacket.
For just £17, it’s an inexpensive way to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe and experiment with a style of jacket that you may not have been brave enough to wear before.
