    Question What kind of spring coat do you wear? Link?

    I'm tired of winter and would love to think spring and get ready.
    I have a water resistant NF zip-up coat, but I'm trying to be a bit more fashionable/ on-trend, and was thinking of a motorcycle/ biker jacket. I also ordered a field jacket. I'd just like something cute, and not so utilitarian, and I'm open to ideas.
    Would like to keep it under $200 (or preferably under $150).

    Thanks for any ideas!

    I love the longer Athleta jackets. I have one from last year that is a little different than this one, but similar elements.

    One would never be enough for me!! I have:
    A tan mid thigh trench coat
    A black mid thigh trench coat
    A navy polka dot knee length trench coat
    Denim jacket
    A knit blazer
    A Title 9 fleece
    A purple North Face rain jacket
    A black North Face shell, fleece lined (I wore this the most this fall)
    Probably some more too.
    I go with what makes sense for my outfit and the weather.

    I have a seventeen-year-old button-up Liz Claiborne brand leather jacket for warm-but-not-hot days. (This isn't my jacket; mine is identical.)

    It's a little worse for wear, especially on the arms where I've caught it against clothing racks at the mall, but it's not in "must-replace" shape.

    For cooler days, I wear an orchid-pink Columbia down jacket that I bought on clearance at the Columbia outlet. (This one is similar, but not identical.)

    And for getting DD at the bus, I wear any number of beat-up fleeces.

    Spring coats are a joke in Chicago. It goes pretty fast from cold to warm, so an unlined coat doesn't work all that well. My fav coat for Spring is my Boden lined raincoat. I don't think they make it anymore. It was recommended here years ago and it's still my goto.
