A fashion editor shares the seven best transitional spring jackets she’s shopping from Amazon, including cardigans, trench coats, faux leather, and teddy coats for under $50. Brands include Levi’s and Prettygarden, starting at $36.

Plus, lightweight cardigans and trench coats.

Spring is an interesting time; it’s warm and breezy during the day, but once the sun sets, it gets chilly. Rain is also a known part of the season, bringing fluctuating temperatures like no other time of the year. So while your slip dress and flats will work in the daytime, you may get cold come sunset. That’s why owning a transitional jacket that can be popped on and off is a necessity — especially when there are tons of Amazon options for under $50.

Levi’s Original Trucker Jacket

Buy on Amazon $90 $39

Is it even spring if you’re not wearing a denim jacket? The Levi’s Original Trucker Jacket — which is currently 60 percent off — includes a blue vintage wash, structured piping, slightly cropped silhouette, and two pockets. A button-front closure and collar pull the separate together, while durable material makes it last. Wear it with a floral swing dress and wedge sandals for the perfect look. 

Nanjun Double-Breasted Lapel Trench Coat

Buy on Amazon $54 $40

Beat the rain with this waterproof trench coat from Nanjun. The double-breasted piece includes two lines of buttons, a tie-front belt, lapels, and anti-wrinkle fabric. The midi-length jacket looks like it’s straight out of Meghan Markle’s closet, so keep it sophisticated by opting for pointed-toe pumps, sheer tights, and a plaid skirt.

Luvamia Lapel Blazer

Buy on Amazon $49

Spring and blazers go hand in hand, making this Luvamia find a must-have for the season. The jacket’s lightweight fabric, classic fit, and flap pockets will have you regularly reaching for it, while the 35 designs let you pick an option that fits right in line with your closet. I receive non-stop compliments every time I wear a blazer during spring, and I have a feeling you will, too.

Eurivicy Teddy Bomber Jacket

Buy on Amazon $36

For something cozy but not too warm, consider the Eurivicy Teddy Bomber Jacket. For $36, you can look forward to a soft exterior, lined inside, and ribbed details — not to mention, it’s available in 10 colorways. Wear it open or zip it up depending on how chilly the day is. Thanks to its flexible material, you can throw it in a bag or even tie it around your waist.   

Prettygardan Button-Down Cardigan

Buy on Amazon $43

While a cardigan isn’t technically a jacket, it still counts as outerwear and can be the solution you need to a brisk day. This two-toned Prettygarden option is so chic and effortless, you’ll want to snag it in all eight colors. Enjoy large front buttons, two pockets, thick black lining along the stitching, and a scoop neck. Wear it unbuttoned for a casual approach, or dress it up with trousers and loafers.
