Green Spring Jackets

Spring jackets are finally making their way to my wardrobe and I’m excited about it.  Winter in Chicago is a lot like pregnancy, it lasts forever!  I’m still not ruling out snow, but I am counting on being in a spring jacket very soon.  My biggest obsession  with spring jackets are green spring jackets.  And green jackets in general, I love them!

I think the big draw for a green spring jacket is the versatility and actual color.  I wear all black, all winter long and once spring comes I’m ready to add some color to my wardrobe.  Last year I strayed a bit with a red field jacket.  And while I will rotate that jacket in, I’m going back to my roots with a green spring jacket this year.  I’ve actually had a Target green jacket for 10+ years and I’m going to part with it this year.  It’s time to update and I’m ready to shop for new clothes post-pregnancy!  

Green Spring Jackets 

So what makes a great spring jacket?  Here are my general guidelines:

• Lightweight twill material
• Anything labeled utility, which means lots of details like zippers, pockets and ties
• Flexible material that isn’t overly bulky
• Mid length is preferred, but I will find any reason to buy a short, medium and long jacket
• Pricepoint of $150 and under, I might splurge a little more if I LOVE the jacket though

Green Spring Jackets I Love 

I’ve scoured the internet to find the best green spring jackets out there.  Here are my favorites

And my top three favorites (in no particular order) are:

Camo Jacket

This jacket has deep rich colors that sets it apart from the others.  The length is idea for a taller gal.  It has all the bells and whistles like pockets, zippers and a cinchable waist.  It’s bit of a splurge, but is typically on sale for 40% off.

Raincoat 

I’ve always wanted a traditional raincoat, that looks rubbery and reminds me of a child’s raincoat.  I love the light muted green color of this one and the fact that is has a hood.

Field Jacket 

Love the simplicity of this jacket.  It’s the perfect go anywhere, do anything jacket.  In addition, I love that the collar stands up and that the waist is cinchable.  It really makes a casual jacket more tailored and polished.
