March is the month when coats start to weigh in, but it is not yet time for summer lightness. It is the time for strategic outerwear to be worn in layers, from evening to morning. And above all, it' s time for colour. And yes, because spring is near, and what better time than now to welcome it with colourful jackets to show off as early as March?
After months of dark and neutral palettes, coloured jackets become the easiest way to renew your wardrobe without revolutionising it. Dictating the diktat of the moment are pastel shades, accompanied by bold, vibrant and intense colours, giving us moments that alone can transform even their most essential in unexpected ways.
Why choose a coloured jacket in March
Colour in March works because it contrasts with what we have been wearing all winter and already throws us into the flowering season. Temperatures permitting, garments also become lighter in fabric and clearer. Thanks, in fact, to colour, it is possible tomake urban looks brighter, to enhance denim or other light-coloured garments, and to lighten, on the whole, even the heavier fabrics that the coldest ones do not want to give up. The jacket, in this context, becomes the focal point: everything can remain minimal underneath.
But which colours will dominate March and the coming spring? The street looks lead the way, and with them we have already seen the appearance ofpowder blue, elegant, delicate and easy to match, and sage green, refined and contemporary.
The former is perfect with white, beige, denim and light grey. It is one of the most wearable colours if you want to get out of black without being too daring. The second, on the other hand, works well with neutral tones, but also with light brown and cream. Ideal for those who like soft palettes.
Then we find powder pink, feminine but never excessive. It goes well with jeans, light tailored trousers and neutral total looks. It is a colour that illuminates without being intrusive. Alongside it peeps out soft yellow, perfect to show off already in March because it immediately recalls spring and because, combined with white or denim, it creates fresh and modern looks.
Finally, we find deep blue for those who prefer bold but sophisticated colours. It replaces black with more personality, especially for daytime looks, while maintaining elegance and femininity.
Coloured jackets: the models to focus on in March and throughout spring
In first place, among the general consensus of the coldest, we find the light quilted jacket, perfect for the still cool days and evenings. Then we find the coloured blazer that goes well with everything and allows us to make even the most minimal look super glamorous. Wear it with jeans and a t-shirt, or over a dress: it always works.
Also making a comeback this March are cropped jackets. The short structured one is perfect to match with high-waisted trousers and midi skirts. The colour on a clean cut makes the look instantly more sophisticated. Alternatively, we can opt for a soft jacket with a light fabric, which can also be worn open to create movement in the outfit.
Coloured jackets: look ideas
Pastel shades, intense colours and different cuts, the coloured jackets of March allow us to create an infinite number of different looks and styles. But how should we combine them to construct our daily outfits? The rule is simple: if the jacket is the protagonist, the rest stays clean.
The short coloured jacket, for example, is perfect when paired with a white sweater and straight jeans, while a pink blazer, in an oversized version, can be worn with beige trousers and a neutral top. The light blue jacket is perfect for white or cream total looks and the green jacket finds its natural place alongside denim.
When to wear the coloured jacket? Practically always. In town, for work, especially in the case of structured models, for the weekend and for the first spring evening outings. Alone and with a mid-season coat.
