Meghan Markle has a thing for J.Crew jackets.

Over the weekend, the Duchess of Sussex, 41, went hiking in California in one of her go-to J.Crew jackets, which she has been wearing for years. For the outdoor occasion, Markle donned the Perfect Lightweight Jacket in army green, which she was last seen in during a sit-down interview with Oprah in 2021. While the mom-of-two's exact jacket is no longer available, J.Crew recently revamped the style — and the new version is still available in most sizes, all of which are discounted right now.

The refreshed Perfect Lightweight Jacket maintains the same silhouette as its popular predecessor with a hood and button closure in a water-repellent fabric, but it features a longer hem in the back for extra coverage, an extended collar for windy days, and an elastic bungee at the waist for a flattering fit. The green color is more olive than the previous army shade, and it's also available in soft pink, basic black, and baby blue.

Markle started wearing green jackets from J.Crew way back in 2016 when she was spotted heading to yoga classes with her mom in the spring staple. In 2019, she rewore the same jacket, which featured more pockets than her recent pick, while visiting a stable with Prince Harry. Clearly, she favors the practical style — and you should too.

Utility jackets are versatile layering pieces to have in your wardrobe for unpredictable spring weather. Wear it during chilly mornings and if the sun peeks out, simply tie it around your waist like Markle did. This similar style is half the price of the J.Crew option, ringing in at just $48 at Amazon.

Markle wore her utility jacket with black leggings, a T-shirt, hiking shoes, and a hat, but you can also wear the spring essential with jeans and sneakers. This hooded version by Levi's is currently on sale at Amazon, and this military style by Lucky Brand is marked down at Zappos.
