The Quiet Luxury, Anti-Trend Jackets Fashion People Are Wearing This Spring


You know it, I know it—spring is slowly but surely on its way, which means there’s no better time to invest in the perfect spring jacket. A task which, admittedly, I always find surprisingly difficult. Choosing between an edgy bomber, a classic trench or a country-inspired barn jacket has never felt more complicated, and while I’d ideally invest in all three, this season I’m focusing on one thing: a high-quality jacket that transcends trends, I’ll love forever and will become a true wardrobe staple.

After plenty of time scrolling, saving and analysing what the chicest women on my Instagram feeds are wearing, I’ve noticed there are three core, under-the-radar brands that fashion people consistently come back to—true “if you know, you know” labels that specialise in timeless, beautifully made outerwear.

Starting with Róhe. The Amsterdam-based label has quickly become a go-to for elevated basics, but its jackets are where it really shines. The Reinvented Leather Jacket—a classic bomber reworked with a sculptural funnel neck and elasticated waist—feels modern yet timeless, while the Panko jacket, with its collarless design and toggle fastening, has a distinctly Scandi feel that makes it perfect for spring layering.

Nour Hammour, too, has become something of a fashion-person favourite. Specialising in leather outerwear, the brand is known for everything from leather trenches to beautifully cut bomber jackets. Finally, a brand that’s been quietly leading the way for years: Toteme. The Stockholm-based label has become synonymous with quiet luxury, particularly when it comes to outerwear. Perfectly cut trench coats, impeccably tailored jackets and timeless silhouettes are what the brand does best, and they’re pieces that never date.
