Lightweight Spring Jackets to Love


When all you need is a little warmth…

I have a terrible habit of commiserating over which jacket to wear before stepping out the door for the day. I don’t want to be cold but not too hot either. The coat I chose has to tie the whole outfit together and be a workhorse simultaneously. There’s so much to consider when selecting: the length, the shape, the weight of the fabric, and the color! I’ve picked four that I think will be versatile and gorgeous for spring and into summer, and stand the test of time. Most of these sites offer a discount if you sign up to get news alerts.

The Dublin

Frank & Eileen makes the easiest to wear clothing ever. This jacket in a washable linen has sleeves that scrunch, and a fit that can be dressed up or down. $478

The right jacket should also be packable or easy to fold and throw in a tote if the weather gets warmer. Neutral jackets are always a smart purchase but adding a little pop of color, like pink, can make a neutral outfit really sing.
