While it may still feel crisp outside, Martha Stewart is having us dream of sunnier days with her floral jacket. Her black jacket embroidered with flowers, like this Amazon lookalike, is a simple way to make a statement. The subtly cropped design means it works with high-waisted silhouettes to make layering easy. And it has a front zipper, so you can bundle up when the weather shifts at night.
“This jacket has an edge but is still feminine,” one Amazon review said, adding that you can “dress it up or down.”

Watts’ jacket looks like suede, which is as practical as it is effortlessly sophisticated. The suede-like fabric of this $35 Amazon find is warm for transitional weather, while the shorter silhouette means you can still wear it when the sun is out. The gold buttons are eye-catching and functional, while the roomy sleeves make layering a breeze.
