Some say that trends are born from the runway, but we’d argue that the street style scene is just as (if not more) influential when it comes to predicting the season’s next It items. During the most recent fashion month, stylish showgoers jumped from city to city, dazzling in their winter-to-spring outfits, sporting everything from tried-and-true closet classics to more irresistible trend-forward pieces. At the core of each look, however, was a piece of seriously strong spring outerwear–think long-line leather coats sprinkled throughout NYFW or a quilted shell jacket or two, making the most of model-off-duty moments. According to this street style set, for spring, the need for outstanding outerwear should never be in question. 

One of our biggest street style learnings from NYFW is that there’s a trench coat for every woman and every occasion. And when it comes to the perfect pick, nothing beats the classics. Options from Loewe, Cos, and Zara have ample versatility and will no doubt be the star of your spring capsule wardrobe. Outside the Milan Fashion Week shows, everyone from fashion insiders to even Gigi Hadid could be seen sporting a slate gray blazer. Call it the Miuccia effect, but we’re predicting this menswear-inspired item to be one of spring’s strongest style staples. 

You can always spot lightweight, transitional outerwear on the streets of Paris Fashion Week, whether it’s an army green bomber jacket paired with a sleek midi skirt or a quilted liner layered atop a chunky crewneck sweater. According to Sienna Miller, going back to basics is best, especially by way of an anything-but-basic black coat. And lastly, because this is the street style scene we’re talking about, there were plenty of wild styles to go around, from animal-printed coats during London Fashion week to distressed leather jackets back in New York. 

Take it from this street style set, these are the only spring outerwear trends to sport this season. Read on to shop our edit, below.
