The khaki jacket is our go-to staple – here are 8 of our favourites to buy for spring

A masterclass in all things utility. The military style jacket is back!

By

Looking for a simple yet effortless jacket to invest in this spring? One that isn’t to thick for summer, not to thin for the changeable spring weather and gives your outfit a cool edge without trying too hard? Well, it’s time to welcome the return of the khaki jacket.

Rapidly regaining popularity again in the spring catwalks of S/S 25, utilitarian style has made a comeback from Saint Laurent to Loewe. First it was jumpsuits and workwear-inspired cargo trousers; now it’s the military-style khaki jacket that’s having its moment in the sun once again.

In a masterclass of all things utility, try offsetting the androgynous vibe with more feminine tailoring and pretty prints. Softer fabrics such as silk and lace, or even a boho-style dress and big bold glasses frames, are sure to guarantee this revamped classic be styled for the 2025 state of mind.

For a polished evening look, why not try styling & Other Stories’ broderie-cut jacket with bootcut jeans and gold going-out sandals? Or layer Arket’s khaki denim jacket with crisp shirts and basic tees for an off-duty look.

This type of jacket has endured many updates and is set to never go out of style. Investing in one now is a smart purchase that future you will be thanking you for years to come.
