Cool Summer Jackets To Match Any Outfit

Cool Summer Jackets To Match Any Outfit

We have had some really beautiful, hot weather these last few weeks and it’s given us all the opportunity to wear our coolest summer outfits day after day, something usually only reserved for our holidays abroad. Although it’s been gloriously warm, some evenings have seen a drop in temperature. This is when a summer jacket comes into its own. Get it right and you’ll look stylish and bang on trend no matter what the thermometer says. We used fashion search engine Style in View to pick out some of the best summer jacket looks from the high street this season.

Denim Jacket

A denim jacket is a great staple in your wardrobe. Right now there are plenty of cropped jackets to be found in washed denim which look great worn with pushed up sleeves. A jacket like this looks cute as a button with a flowery, short dress and ballet flats or wedges. Another way to wear this jacket is over-sized and loose, just like you’ve borrowed your big brother’s favourite piece of clothing. Pair this with tight cigarette pants and some heels which you can wear to work, out to lunch or into the evening. The golden rule, though, is never wear denim on denim.

Blazers are always great in the warmer months. John Lewis jackets department offer a selection of fabrics and colours to suit every outfit. For this time of year, choose the light-weight fabrics like linen or fine wool. A pair of tailored shorts and a simple, sleeveless top set off a blazer in perfect style. Tight skirts can give you a sophisticated look for work too, so you’ll get your money’s worth with this purchase.

A smart fitted jacket in a classic colour, such as black or cream, can give you years of wear. Matched with a pretty, summer frock you’ll be set for a wedding or formal interview. If you want a more casual look though, you could wear it with a pair of tiny denim shorts and a vest, or a colourful pleated mini dress. Contradictions and contrast go well in fashion, as long as you do it with confidence.

Pretty floral jacket

Bright and floral jackets are not for the faint hearted but are real statement pieces if you wear them right. Jeans would be the safest option to match with a bold pattern, some skinny or high-waisted ones would look a treat. You can match skirts in stripes or spots to go for a clashing look, just make sure you get the tone right. Be brave and try a few combinations, you might be surprised what goes well together.

A good biker’s jacket can be worn all year round, whether it’s made from leather or heavy jersey. A pretty, floaty scarf softens the tough look and makes it perfect for summer. It’s not easy to make a biker’s jacket look smart, so pair it with casual skirts and sandals or a short dress. Mixing it with denim, though, will give you a bit of a rock-chick look so, unless that’s what you’re after, steer away from jeans.

Choose a jacket carefully and it can give you many different outfits depending on what you put it with. Take a peep at all the different ones there are on Style In View, you won’t believe how many options are out there. Not only will a cool summer jacket keep you warm when the British summer lets us down, but it’ll let you wear your favourite warm weather outfits into the autumn too.
