17 Lightweight Jackets That Are Perfect for Spring
Navigating spring’s temperamental climates can be a tall order. One day it’s raining, and the next it’s a comfortable 75 degrees, so it’s no easy feat to master the perfect outfit, but the key is having the right outerwear. Now that it’s no longer cold enough for that chunky winter coat or heavy layers, but still not quite hot enough to go sans outerwear either, a lightweight jacket is exactly what you need.
Whether you’re interested in the season’s cool pastel shades, updated takes on a tailored blazer, or interesting new denim styles, we’ve found versions you’ll want to add to your closet. Here, shop 17 lightweight jackets to wear on repeat this spring.
