Right now, the only thing I want to wear in London is a waisted jacket—here are 21 chic styles I've saved.

      One of my top purchases last month was a waisted cardigan. The first time I wore it, I was bombarded with inquiries about where it came from, and in subsequent outings, people asked where they could find similar styles as my exact piece had sold out. The cardigan was understated yet incredibly classic, and the form-fitting design added a level of sophistication that surprised observers when I mentioned it was from a high street brand. As we transition into spring, I’m eager to find the best waisted jackets to achieve that elegant look. If a refined aesthetic is on your spring wardrobe checklist, you’ll definitely want to keep reading.

      In recent years, unique and captivating silhouettes have surged in popularity. As fashion has shifted towards minimalism, the emphasis on intricate designs and bold logos has been replaced by a focus on fabric quality, cut, and shape. For a while, this play on proportions was reflected in oversized styles, such as the rise of wide-leg jeans and baggy blazers that have become staples in many wardrobes. While these styles remain valuable additions, if you want to refresh your classic jackets this spring, a tailored waistline is worth considering.

      Such a straightforward fit detail can make a significant impact, leading to many classic spring jackets being redesigned to feature a striking waist. Due to their tailoring roots, blazers have seamlessly adopted the cinched-waist trend, offering a variety of elegant options whether you’re looking to invest in a high-end piece or explore a more affordable alternative. If you're in the market for something more casual, consider a denim jacket, which remains a reliable choice for spring as designers creatively reshape the sturdy material into refined hourglass forms.

      A timeless option is the tweed jacket, with its textured fabric and classic structure giving it an inherently elevated look. It’s hard to believe this jacket could improve, but a cinched waist can enhance even this excellent piece. Moreover, the revival of the country jacket, which gained popularity last year, is likely to continue through 2025, with this season's fitted waists providing definition to the traditionally straight-cut style. Below, I’ve curated a selection of the finest canvas jackets to prepare for the spring showers ahead.
