I don't know about you, but I'm seeing chic jacket colour trends everywhere I look. Winter's grip is finally loosening, and with the arrival of milder temperatures, our wardrobes are shifting accordingly. Heavy coats are being swapped for something lighter, more transitional, and, crucially, more fun.

Enter the jacket, or more precisely, the jacket colour trends 2025. Whether it's a structured blazer, a cropped bomber, or an oversized denim piece, jackets are proving to be the hero item of early 2025. And while neutral staples will always have their place, I've noticed a significant shift towards colour this season. From the streets of London (where the temperature has finally crept above single digits) to fashion week front rows, bold hues are dominating.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. Colour played a major role in the spring and summer 2025 collections, with designers like Valentino, Bottega Veneta, and Stella McCartney leaning into high-impact shades. Powder pinks, fiery reds, and rich greens took centre stage, styled in ways that felt both wearable and aspirational. At Valentino, vibrant monochrome suiting was being championed, while Bottega's former creative director, Matthieu Blazy made a case for muted pastels in leather. This runway influence is already trickling down to the everyday wardrobe, with jackets proving to be an accessible way to tap into the trend.

Beyond their trend appeal, jackets offer the perfect middle ground between winter and true spring dressing. They can set the tone to an outfit, work across a range of occasions, and can be layered up or down depending on the unpredictable British weather. I'm usually one to stick to classic camel, navy, or black outerwear, but even I've found myself drawn to the wave of colourful jackets taking over my social feeds and favourite retailers. And I'm not alone—whether it's a yellow tailored blazer over a simple jeans-and-tee combo or a red bomber layered with casual separates, fashion insiders are proving that bright jackets are the statement piece of the season.

To make embracing the jacket colour trends 2025 as effortless as possible, below I've curated five standout looks featuring the hues I've seen everywhere. From sage greens to bright oranges, these pieces feel fresh, elevated, and, most importantly, easy to incorporate into your existing wardrobe.

Style Notes: Red is the ultimate confidence-boosting shade, and this season, it's being reimagined in jacket form. Designers like Prada and Ferragamo incorporated the fiery hue into tailored outerwear, proving that a bold red blazer or coat can instantly make an impact. Whether worn with denim for a casual edge or layered over a sleek midi dress, this is one colour that demands attention. For a modern take, pair it with relaxed joggers and a tee to let the colour take centre stage. Alternatively, lean into the statement with matching red pieces for a full monochrome moment—very Valentino-approved.

The red nylon and oversized zip make this bomber feel ultra-modern.

The perfect light grey T-shirt to balance the boldness of the red.

A minimalist staple that makes even the most causal outfits look chic.

An editor favourite.

Style Notes: Green is one of those colours that quietly makes an impact. My favourite hue of the season—sage green, this muted, earthy hue offers a fresh take on green that feels both subtle and stylish. Ideal for those who want to dip into colour without going too bold, a sage jacket pairs so well with neutrals or deeper, forest greens. A sage bomber or utility jacket lends a relaxed, contemporary feel to any outfit. Wear it with dark wash denim for a more transitional feel.

A minimalist cut with just the right amount of structure.

The fluid shape adds an undone touch.

Ballet flats keeps things polished.

Everywhere I go, someone has this mini bag.

Style Notes: Aligne's yellow blazer has already become a fashion-person favourite, and it's easy to see why. Blurring the lines between a blazer and a lightweight jacket, this piece taps into the dopamine-dressing mood without being overpowering. Spotted in softer butter yellows at Stella McCartney and brighter iterations at Versace, yellow is a key colour trend for jackets this year. It can feel intimidating, but when styled with classic denim and neutral accessories, it becomes surprisingly wearable. A boxy blazer silhouette keeps things contemporary and pairs well with everything from tailored trousers to wide-leg jeans.

Fitted waist blazers are all the rage right now, and Aligne was one of the first to get the trend going.

The dark wash compliments the yellow so well.

A quiet-luxury staple that grounds the outfit.

Kitten heel mules that are timeless and versatile for everyday wear.

Style Notes: Orange might not be the first colour that comes to mind when investing in a jacket, but trust me—it's having a major moment. At fashion week, I spotted several showgoers layering orange denim jackets over monochrome outfits, giving their looks a fresh, playful feel. This shade works particularly well in textured fabrics like denim and suede, making it an ideal choice for those wanting to experiment with colour in a low-maintenance way. The key to wearing an orange denim jacket? Keep the rest of your outfit simple. Think classic blue jeans, a white tee, and a contrasting accessory to tie everything together.

Agolde is always my go-to for jeans—the brand has every style you can imagine.

I love!

Loafers that go with everything.

Style Notes: Pink is no longer just a romantic, delicate shade—it's a statement colour with serious impact. If you took one thing from the spring and summer trends, it's that powder pink is the colour of the season and so pink outerwear is of course a must for 2025. Whether you lean towards soft pastels or something more saturated, a pink jacket adds a touch of playfulness to any look. For a balanced approach, mix pink with relaxed tailoring or casual denim.

The ultimate cool-girl silhouette.

I have this tank in almost all of the colours‚and there are a lot.

Goes with the delicate theme of the light pink.

The black boots really stand out in this light outfit.
