27 New Season Lightweight Jackets That Go With Pretty Much Everything
While the shops may be filling up with Autumn/Winter pieces, coat season still feels a little premature given the balmy late summer. So instead, we’ll be throwing on a tran-seasonal lightweight jacket for as long as possible. The high street and designer collections are full of them, whether you opt for a casual shacket, boho embroidery or this season’s Western-inspired hit, the fringed jacket And when autumn does creep in, layer up with a heavy coat over the top.
The French mid-market brands do this in-between outerwear dressing particularly well. There’s BA-SH’s buttery-soft suede cropped Milas jacket that feels very Alexa paired with a silk maxi skirt and a pretty blouse, or Sézane’s quilted Smith jacket in blue and white Paisley print – the perfect way to indulge your inner boho from summer into the chillier months.
And on the high street, you can’t fault a bit of M&S, Zara and Mango for tapping into some of the season’s hottest jacket trends, from oversized bikers to chunky checked blazers and fuzzy felt bombers, aviator designs and light puffers to throw on over your favourite jeans and a T-shirt combo.
