You’ve stocked up on sandals, on swimsuits, on sundresses. And reality has begun to set in: Spring isn’t quite as hot as you remembered it being. Though the season is associated with beach vacations and days spent in the sun, the truth is a little more temperate; spring is a transitional season, and bits of winter trickle in about as frequently as bits of summer do. Meaning now that your spring sandal, spring swimsuit and spring sundress situation is handled, it’s time for you to direct your focus toward a different genre: spring jackets.

Spring jackets aren’t one of those things you really think to stock up on until, well, you have to. Because thinking of spring as anything but idyllic isn’t fun (and shopping is supposed to be fun, damnit!). The thought of hiding your brand new spring dress under anything but a lightweight cardigan isn’t just tragic—it’s blasphemous. A jacket of any kind is sure to dull the shine of your vibrant spring wardrobe, to suck the life out of the new season, to keep you trapped in winter. And we can’t have that, can we?

Thankfully, your favorite retailers haven’t exercised the same sartorial myopia. Your go-to stores have all kinds of spring jackets on offer, making it incredibly easy to find something that complements (not competes with) all that spring clothing you just purchased. There are lightweight military jackets fit for oceanfront wear, cozy teddy jackets covered in spring-facing details, colorful windbreakers set to carry you through April’s impending showers and all kinds of other trendy pieces. The spring jacket landscape is more vast and varied than you could ever imagine—and many of the options are so cute, you might not even mind that it’s 40 degrees outside in the middle of March.
