Today will run on the hotter end of the average April 25th, but the mornings are still crisp enough that you'll be glad to walk out of the house in something light enough to carry home. In honor of Miss Rhode Island's iconic line in Miss Congeniality, here are my picks for the light jacket you can wear with anything, regardless of the date.
Short Lyocell Trenchcoat by H&M
This new summertime jacket is part of H&M's CONSCIOUS line, a shorter trenchcoat in soft, Tencel® lyocell twill. Details like shoulder tabs, a minimalist collar, and draped lapels are a stylish update to any tee underneath. Also features side pockets and tie belt at waist. $39.99.
This spin on the classic nylon bomber has rouched sleeves, a fitted shape, and a satiny shine. Slightly filled to keep its shape. Also available in army green, black, and a rosey blush color. $80.
Uniqlo Oversized Lightweight Jacket
From Uniqlo's collaboration collection with fashion designer Hana Tajima, this warm weather jacket has a loose fit for an airy feel and ties in the back for various styling options. Made out of a smooth blend of Tencel rayon/polyester, and on sale for $29.90 today.
Mimi Chica Crushed Velvet Open Cardigan
Channel bohemian It-Girl vibes with this easy, draped silhouette. Despite the weighted velvet material, the three-quarter sleeves and no closure make it a summer-friendly layer on breezier mornings. Usually $69.99, only $14.97 today at Nordstrom Rack.
An essential jean jacket from Urban Outfitters made out of durable cotton and cut in a zip-front silhouette with a pointed collar. Slip pockets at the waist. Usually $79.99, it's available for $49.99 today. If you're looking for a monotoned style, UNIQLO is running a sale on their Harrington Jacket in beige, olive and navy for $29.90.
