Transitional jackets can be tough to find, but you'll want to keep these picks at the front of your closet as spring approaches. They're perfect for the 40- to 70-degree jump, and you'll love 'em enough to convince yourself they're acceptable to wear in the summer. Trust.
AGOLDE Charlie Denim Jacket
A denim jacket is a year-round staple, but there's nothing better than putting it on for the first time again in 70-degree weather.

MONSE Shirt Back High/Low Blazer
A true investment piece comes in the form of this pinstriped high/low blazer that will make you look like the coolest girl in the office.
BLANKNYC Faux Leather Moto Jacket
Like denim jackets, leather jackets are year-round outerwear and never go out of style. BlankNYC is notorious for its soft, affordable faux jackets like this one that looks way more expensive than it is.
