As we approach the end of August, the conclusion of summer is actively around the corner. Now, this doesn’t mean we’re trying to rush the fall season, but we certainly want to make sure we’re prepared for the transitional time when the weather gets a little cooler. During this time, shorts are surely still in rotation, but we might pair it with a long-sleeved top or a hoodie instead of the lightweight tanks we’re used to. That said, we’ve gathered a list of lightweight jackets that will pair well with practically anything and provide the best of both worlds: showing a little skin and keeping warm.
01
Short Linen Trench Jacket
Linen is one of the best fabrics to wear in the summer, it’s lightweight and allows a breeze to pass through. This short linen trench coat is the perfect transitional piece.
02
Lynda Jacket
Nylon is another lightweight fabric that is summer-friendly. This cropped number from Daily Paper is perfect for when you’re feeling sporty.
03
Track Top
Another sporty moment in a soft, dusty turquoise.
04
Organza Button-Up
The great thing about button-down shirts is that during this transitional season they can be used as a light jacket. This organza piece proves the perfect frame to show off the top underneath.
05
Resort Shirt
Classic blue-striped moment to prep it up.
06
‘The Photographer’ Jacket
Wrinkles aren’t always such a bad thing. This pink jacket elevates crinkles in the most stylish way we’ve ever seen.
