The 6 Best Light Jackets For Cooler Summer Days

Summer has kicked off with a flurry of heat waves that may have left us (read: me) with a false sense of warm-weather security. In building my summer capsule wardrobe, I was so distracted by the blue skies, high temperatures and bright sunshine that I left out a key part. With the temperamental British weather set to cool over the next week, forget borrowing cardigans from friends or wrapping your linen shirts tightly around you as the sun dips below the horizon; it’s time to add a light jacket to your summer wardrobe line-up, and I’ve tracked down the best around.

Already this summer, we’ve seen scorching days followed by torrential rains, and if you’ve discovered that your winter coat is far too heavy for the milder temperatures, then you’ll definitely want to read on. Whether it’s a cooler moment or simply evening when the sun has gone in, I’ve taken the time to track down the best light jackets that will see you through those chillier summer days, and can be reworn throughout autumn and spring too.
