WE FOUND A JACKET FOR EVERY KIND OF WEATHER FORECAST

Not us talking about the weather again. What can we say? British summer will do that to you. Enjoying the first heatwave of the year also means losing all sense of direction in the wardrobe department. The morning commute requires a light jacket, by midday you’re roasting, and when evening hits you’re wondering why you didn’t pack a puffer coat.

Pull&Bear Short hooded raincoat in chocolate, £49.99

 

Nothing throws an outfit off course like unplanned drizzle. These stealthy droplets sneak up when you least expect it, turning a balmy afternoon into a run for cover. Lugging a jacket around just in case is hardly practical, so the key to navigating light drizzle is something lightweight. Traditional raincoats often sacrifice style for practicality, but this Pull&Bear jacket is understated and on-trend. With a sleek chocolate brown shade and bomber-style silhouette, it won’t disturb your look. Plus, the cropped length and breathable fabric make it an easy addition to your handbag.

Bershka Textured oversize denim jacket in denim blue, £49.99

 

Transitional seasons like spring turn a single day into a lucky dip of temperatures. Basking in the sun over lunch turns into a freezing journey home come nightfall. So, it’s always worth having an extra layer on hand. Like your raincoat, this should be lightweight and easy to carry – but it’s crucial you actually feel warm. For this, we turn to the denim jacket. It’s a timeless neutral you can pair with any outfit, with sturdy fabric that provides a welcome extra layer. Plus, despite its durability, a denim jacket isn’t cumbersome. Just fold one into your bag for that late-in-the-day temp drop.

Rains 12560 Suva waterproof hardshell belted coat in beige, £289
