As the temperatures gradually creep up, I've noticed a steady stream of sporty jackets filling my feed - it started with the new viral polka dot adidas Firebird collection that sells out each time new deliveries drop, and now it's hard to ignore this rapidly growing spring/summer fashion trend 2026, that's giving the athleisure look a contemporary rebrand.
Not only is this style of jacket super comfortable, but it's flattering too, and thanks to its fast-growing popularity, it's a very easy way to update your look. And it's a great replacement for classic denim jackets in your spring capsule wardrobe. Celebrities have naturally been quick to jump on board with the silhouette too, with everyone from Alexa Chung and Jessica Alba to Anita Rani adding a sporty jacket to their outfits.
