Spring coats: from classic macs to slouchy parkas and this season's must-have printed kimono, we've edited the chicest fashion buys to see you through this season...
Spring coats are top of our wish list right now. The ultimate transitional piece, they bridge the gap between chilly spring days and pre-summer sunshine. Even better? They're lighter, brighter, and mean we can (finally!) ditch our oversized winter warmers for something far more in keeping with our SS14 wardrobe.
This season we're coveting the classic mac (given a cool makeover by Burberry and now popping up all over the high street), the collarless cocoon coat, and spring's must-have patterned kimono, perfect for layering over chic, structured shapes.
