We don’t often wear jackets in the summer, but sometimes they’re really necessary — whether we need to wear a blazer for work or an extra layer when it’s a bit cooler at night. Either way, when we look for summer jackets, we want to find lightweight options that are still breathable, because the last thing we want is to sweat through our layers.
We’ve found a ton of great jacket options, made from the perfect materials and with the right designs for summer. Whether you want a professional, casual or chic jacket, you will find what you need in our selection below!
