1. Jackets — quilted styles & Chanel-inspired tailoring

After a neutral-toned winter, spring 2025 is all about colour — think bold reds, fresh greens, and cheerful yellows. But one trend that remains a staple is jackets, particularly quilted jackets and Chanel-style cropped blazers.

Quilted jackets

A firm favourite, quilted jackets are here to stay. This season, they come in boxy, short silhouettes, often with contrasting topstitching to highlight the quilted effect. You can also keep it simple with understated denim versions.

Best pattern:

Fabric choice:

• Chambray-weight cotton – Light yet structured, ideal for spring layering.

Chanel-style jackets

A Chanel-inspired cropped jacket is a timeless staple. Perfect for pairing with jeans and a tee, it offers an effortlessly polished look.

Best patterns:

• McCall’s 8370 – A classic, boxy silhouette.
