4 Anti-Trend Jackets Fashion People Wear With Dresses, Skirts and Jeans in Summer

Unfortunately, in the UK, summer does not necessarily equal great weather. And while we may love to sport our linen minidresses and floral-laden midis, often we are also required to have an outfit backup plan.

I know jackets might not necessarily be the item on the top of your wish list during the summer months, but let me tell you, for practicality purposes, they could be the most important items you own. From blazers to trenches and tailored denim, there are several trans-seasonal jacket options around that are optimal for the grey summer days yet will also act as ideal outerwear through most of autumn.

With linen fabrics and other lightweight alternatives, seasonally appropriate summer jackets are available in an array of styles spanning casual and dressier looks. So from denim jackets to linen blazers, leather and summer trenches, keep scrolling for 20 summer jackets for cloudy days.

1. Denim Jackets
