I Watch Data Like a Hawk—Beige Jackets Are Having a Major Moment

published 2 April 2025

Spring may have only just begun, but if past years are anything to go by, the weather will be up and down for a while. True to its unpredictable nature, the temperature here in the UK has been switching from icy breezes to bursts of sunshine on a day-to-day basis. This means that I've often found myself leaving the house in multiple layers in the morning and gradually peeling them off as the day progresses. While this can be frustrating, this type of weather perfectly lends itself to investing in a fresh jacketcolour trend that I've been seeing everywhere recently.

Enter the beige lightweight jacket, which has spent the last few weeks dominating my Instagram feed as well as online retailers.

As someone who works in fashion, I'm always keeping my eye on emerging trends and stand-out products, and the data speaks for itself—beige lightweight jackets are officially having a moment. Searches for the pared-back jacket style have spiked, proving that the style is once again back in the mainstream for spring 2025.

Often available in lightweight, breathable fabrications like cotton and linen, this effortlessly chic jacket style makes the perfect layering piece for the current weather. Wear it on top of a chunkier knit on chillier days or with a simple tank or tee when it's slightly warmer outside.

Beyond the practicality of the jacket, the colour is extremely versatile, pairing well with both other neutrals and bolder hues as well as incredibly timeless, with the ability to remain an anti-trend staple for many years to come. And the best part is that there are currently plenty of natural-fibre compositions across the high street at an affordable price right now, making it easier than ever to invest in a staple that's not only stylish but adaptable to the spring, summer and autumn seasons.
