Ahh, yes, those blistering hot summer days are arriving soon, and I bet you’re ready to whip out all of those sleeveless dresses and halter tops in the back of your closest. But the consistently warm weather during June and July also means air conditioners will be blasting at full speed indoors, so grabbing a good lightweight jacket is a must to keep the goosebumps from popping up all over our arms. Also, it’ll come in handy for those chilly summer nights when you’re out after the sun goes down.
Switch up your typical hoodie and sweatshirt situation for a trendy cardigan or wrap up in a leather jacket on the weekends. Don’t forget about classic denim, zip-up, and moto jackets that’ll keep you at just the right temperature whether you’re inside or out.
To cover you up so you can look cute this season, we’ve gathered 15 of the best lightweight summer jackets, below.
