Summer Jackets

When the sun finally returns and sweeps away those long nights and dismal days, probably the last thing on your mind is outerwear.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the phrase "summer jacket" may appear to be an oxymoron; jackets are just as vital throughout the warmer months of the year as they are during the cooler part of the year. They protect you from unexpected summer showers, they add another fashionable building element to your seasonal wardrobe, and maybe most crucially, they prevent you from being chilly during those lazy evenings spent drinking beer in the yard (remember them?).

The key to making it work comes in selecting styles and fabrics that are suitable for the current time of year. In order to help you accomplish this goal, we have compiled a helpful guide that will provide you with the information you will need.

We understand it; one of the most appealing aspects of summer is the opportunity to forego wearing a coat outside. On the other hand, there are grounds in favor of doing the opposite: not only will lightweight jackets tie together your style, but they also provide the convenience of having an additional layer when the temperature drops at night, making them a fantastic alternative. (In addition, it is always a pleasant thing to have somewhere to store your headphones, pocket knife, pencils, and sunglasses in a location that is not one of the pockets on the pants that you are now wearing.) Don't bother bringing a jacket with you on those awful, sweltering days that reach triple digits; nevertheless, having a jacket at the workplace will protect you from the office air conditioners, the icy conference rooms, and any last-minute after-work plans that may come up.
