34 Lightweight Jacket Ideas To Take You Into The New Season
September has that back-to-school feeling, making it the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe for the new season. We’ve handpicked the best lightweight jacket ideas to take you into the cooler months, from the new leather jacket shape to buttery soft suede and everything in between. Because we’re not ready to commit to full-on winter coat season just yet.
While summer isn’t quite over, we’re already excited for a new season. It’s still a bit too warm for a heavy coat, so a lightweight, transitional jacket is the perfect solution. The high street and designer collections are full of great options, from casual shackets and quilted boho pieces to this season’s updated leather jackets.
We’re not ready to commit to full on coat season just yet.
The French mid-market brands are especially good at this. There’s BA-SH’s buttery-soft suede Mosty jacket, which feels very Alexa, paired with inky straight-leg denim and a pretty blouse, or Sézane’s cult favourite, the Clyde car coat that now comes in nostalgic brown gingham. Divine.
For high-street options, you can’t go wrong with M&S, Zara, and Mango. They’re all embracing the season’s top jacket trends, from high-neck 80s-style leather (very Isabel Marant) to maroon-hued vinyl styles, and barn jackets, but in cool new colour ways like black with leather trims. All destined to throw on over your favourite jeans and a T-shirt combo.
