Whether a city break is on the cards this spring or you need to build out your capsule wardrobe, you always need a collection of reliable, lightweight layers that you can call on at this time of year, especially if you’re living in the UK.
From bomber jackets to funnel necks, there’s a new spring style to know: knitted jackets. This coatigan-inspired hybrid is perfect for the season.
One of our favourites on the high street right now is M&S’s Cotton Rich Striped Slim Fit Knitted Jacket, which is part of the brand’s premium Autograph range and is just a mere £36 to buy now.
Channeling that effortless Parisian style, this Breton jacket is a trusty wardrobe staple that offers a fresh take on the classic print.

Perhaps the most sophisticated of all stripe combinations, this design features black stripes on a contrasting cream colour, but it’s the collarless neckline and slim-fit shape that really sets this jacket apart.
While knitted jackets are very on-trend this season, this style is a timeless choice that can be worn year after year, whatever the season.
More elegant than a jumper and less bulky than a utility or quilted jacket, it’s also the ideal layering piece in-between seasons or on chilly summer evenings when you need that extra warmth.
And as with all reliable striped pieces, it pairs particularly well with denim, too.

Style this jacket with wide-leg jeans and suede trainers for an effortless daytime look, or embrace the French aesthetic with slim ankle-length jeans and ballet flats.
For an alternative to denim, you could also team it with a cocoon-shape midi skirt or cotton barrel-leg trousers in a neutral shade.
Whatever way you wear these stripes, it’s likely you’ll turn to this jacket again and again.
