Lightweight layers for warmer days
When the days get longer and the sun starts to shine, it’s time to lighten up your wardrobe. But if you’re already mentally picturing shorts and cropped T-shirts, just remember, we are still in the UK and summer weather isn’t exactly guaranteed. That’s where a lightweight jacket comes in. From breezy linen jackets to cropped styles and relaxed layers, keep one close for cooler mornings, breezy evenings and those days when the forecast can’t quite make up its mind.
Blazers beyond the office
If you like to look the part on a Monday morning, a blazer is going to be right up your street. But there’s no need to save yours for the office. Keep things classic with black, grey and neutral styles for a polished look or opt for summery shades like white and pastels when you want something a little lighter. Wear yours with tailored trousers for work, throw it over jeans for a smart-casual look or style it with a dress when you’re heading somewhere a little more special.
The denim jacket edit
Ah, the humble denim jacket. It has the ability to give off carefree, just threw this on vibes while still looking fresh, on-trend and stylish for just about any occasion. Choose classic blue denim for an everyday staple or try ecru and lighter washes for a fresh take on summer dressing. Edge up a pretty floral dress by teaming it with denim and trainers or casual down a smart blouse and fitted trousers with an easy denim layer. For something with a little more interest, a biker jacket can bring a little edge to your summer wardrobe.
From day to night
The right summer jacket can take you from one part of the day to the next without needing a complete outfit change. Start with a utility jacket and jeans for daytime plans, then switch to a lightweight layer for lunch in the sunshine or a smarter style when you’re heading out for dinner. Heading somewhere special? Layer a jacket over a dress for an extra layer that doesn’t take away from your look. From brunch and shopping trips to evenings out, find versatile jackets designed to work around your plans.
