[Banana Republic] [Gap] [Vineyard Vines]

As the weather changes form winter to spring, it can sometimes be difficult to choose the right jacket to wear. Some days may start off cold, but become warm and sunny in the afternoon. While you don't want to wear a bulky winter coat, you need some type of light jacket. Here's three spring jacket options for work, play or the rain.

For work: The Mac Jacket from Banana Republic ($198) is great for the office- the navy color, simple design and longer length make it professional and ideal for wearing over a suit jacket. It also has a zip-out lining for when it gets warmer.

For play: The 1969 Heritage denim jacket from Gap ($79.95) is the most versatile spring jacket for a casual day. It can be worn with a t-shirt, polo, button down, hoodie- pretty much anything. The medium wash looks great with darker jeans, khakis or colorful chinos.

For the rain: The lightweight Beacon Full-Zip from Vineyard Vines ($155) will come in handy for the inevitable rain this spring. It has an adjustable hood and comes in four spring colors- green, orange, bright blue and classic navy.
