Yes, summer is here, but as much as we’d like to be able to venture out jacket-free without a worry, it’s perhaps sensible to have a jacket on hand. Summer jackets can take a nice summer outfit right up to fabulous, so don’t be afraid to make the most of your jacket collection this summer. Here we’ve compiled a list of eight summer jacket styles that are all well-worth investing in, to keep you looking cool but feeling warm this summer.
Leather
You simply can’t go wrong with a leather jacket. They are classy, timeless, and there’s one to suit everyone. Dress down a slightly more formal dress, or go casual chic with jeans, the leather jacket is as versatile as they come. Find the shape that works for you, and trust us, you’ll be living in it.
Denim
Oh the good old denim jacket. They went quiet for a little while, but they’re back with a vengeance and we love it! Nothing says summer better than a pretty sundress and denim jacket, so this really is a staple for summer. Buy it and love it, or if you can find a vintage jacket, even better!
Kimono
The kimono is the perfect throw-it-on jacket that’ll fit neatly in your handbag and can be whipped out at a moment’s notice. For that bohemian festival look, a kimono is perfect, and they’re great for the beach. What’s more, Japanese is totally in this season.
Embroidered
If you’re after something super special and a little bit different, an embroidered jacket is the perfect solution. Of course, they look stunning, and you can choose and colour palette or style you like. The embroidery just adds that lovely extra texture, creating a more premium look.
Print
Prints are totally in this season, so liven up a plain outfit with a printed jacket if you aren’t quite ready to go prints all over. A print jacket will instantly lift your wardrobe, making every outfit look as though it’s been planned in detail rather than just thrown on at the last moment.
Sequin
Sequins galore! Every girl loves a bit of sparkle, so why not take it a step further into a lot of sparkle with a stunning sequinned jacket. This piece will transition any outfit from day to night perfectly, so it’s great for those after-work drinks when you don’t have time to go home and change.
Slouch blazer
If you’re after the smart-casual look, a slouch or deconstructed blazer is the summer jacket for you. Slouch blazers are perfect for work when you don’t have to wear a suit but want to look professional, or just for smartening up your standard casual outfit.
Military
Military jackets are fabulous for festivals, so if you’re festivaling this year, invest in one of these babies. Not only do they look effortlessly glam, but the pockets make for a super-practical jacket that means you don’t have to worry about carrying a bag with you at all times.
