Contrary to popular belief, the best time to buy a jacket isn't the winter. It's the spring. Transitional-weather dressing is my personal Achilles heel. While I absolutely love shedding my five-pound parka in anticipation of warmer weather, spring's seasonal volatility means I'm walking out of the house with a cute outfit that leaves me feeling cold more often than not. The 50- and 60-degree weather is hard to dress for, but thankfully, I'm finding sartorial joy thanks to the one simple, elevated jacket silhouette that makes me feel like old money: collarless jackets.

Spring's sleeper jacket trend has to be one of my favorites of late due to its endless possibilities. Quilted jackets, tweed blazers, and worn-in leather jackets go with anything. For more traditional styles, the preppy East Coast Americana look fits right in with the quiet-luxury movement happening as of late. If a single collarless jacket takes my outfit from simple to Shiv Roy, I'm here for it. 

Below, browse a few of my favorite spring collarless and lapelless jackets, including a few ways to style them.
