Hey everyone,
I'm a student and just recently improving my style. Spring is a season I haven't got down yet. My peacoat is becoming too warm, so I'm in need of a spring coat. I don't have anything that comes close to being stylish, so I need the staple of staples of spring coats.

I'm 5'8, 20 years old. Budget is 150 euros max.

I really like the idea of a herrington jacket, but would it be age appropriate? I don't really like trench coats, I have the feeling that I'm too young as well. Maybe a military jacket?

Thanks a lot in advance.

maybe try searching google for a vintage 60/40 parka, those are a solid choice. or get a surplus m65 if you like that sort of thing. or keep your eye on b&s, something will pop up.
