Spring is arguably the best season of the year: It's when you can finally break out all your favorite cute dresses, sandals and other warm-weather accessories. But it can be tricky picking out the perfect spring jacket — whatever you decide to buy needs to be heavy enough to keep you warm during cool mornings and evenings, but it has to also be lightweight enough to ensure you're not sweating in the middle of the day when the sun is out. And of course, you want to look cute and feel confident!

To take the guesswork out of finding the best jacket for your needs, Good Housekeeping's style experts rounded up their top picks for this season's trendiest spring jackets and coats, including stylish trench coats, versatile denim jackets, waterproof rain jackets and inexpensive faux leather styles. And there's no need to worry about your wallet — our list includes top-rated picks from Amazon for as low as $33 and styles from popular, well-priced brands like Good American, Banana Republic and New York & Company. Finally, all of these options are easy to style up or down, meaning you'll practically be living in these casual, lightweight jackets all season long.
