We can’t always guarantee the weather in a British summer, so it’s best to be prepared by having at least one summer coat in your wardrobe.
Mens waterproof jackets are too heavy for this time of year, so get them cleaned, put them to the back of the wardrobe or the coat cupboard and find yourself something bright, light and fun to wear during the summer months.
Of course, there are different summer jackets for different occasions, so you may need a fleece jacket for an evening walk on the beach, and something more tailored to head out to the pubs.
You may need something that keeps the wind out or just something stylish and modern that makes all the difference to a simple summer dress. Fortunately, there’s a fantastic range of ladies’ coats and jackets available for this spring and summer, so you’ll be spoiled for choice.
So let’s start with more formal jackets. Blazers are great for summer – easy to throw on over dresses, tops and lightweight knitwear with womens chinos and instantly lifting your outfit to the next level. For summer, blazers are light, not too structured and easy to carry, so great for packing when you’re heading off on holiday, or just for throwing over your arm or folding into a large handbag when you’re out for the day. Available in cotton, linen, silk, denim and man-made fabrics, there’s enough variety in colour, style and detail to help you find something that works brilliantly for you.
For more casual wear, you need to find something that works for your lifestyle. If you’re often out walking the dog or playing with the kids in the summer, a simple fleece or hoody will work really well, whereas if you need something that protects you against the occasional summer shower, you’ll need a light, showerproof jacket that has practical features but still looks good with jeans, chinos, shorts, or whatever you happen to be wearing. Affordable and stylish, you can be on-trend even when it’s raining.
Don’t forget that there are a range of other coats and jackets that are great for summer. Lightweight padded jackets always look smart and stylish; denim jackets always have a great look and feel to them and are available in a range of colours and the classic trench coat is a great way to give your look a chic touch without adding too many layers. Whatever you choose, you’re bound to look and feel great this summer.
