Gone (at least for now) are the days of lounging in your back garden in nothing but a bikini.
One cursory glance out of the window won't fill you with much joy this week, as rain clouds and intermittent showers dominate the forecast. It feels interminable and spells bad news for your socially distanced picnic in the park. But this doesn't need to mean a washout for your wardrobe.
One moment it feels as though it’s time to reach for a floaty maxi, the next a gust of wind convinces you it’s safer to revert to tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie. Enter the summer jacket.
While it can be tough to think about outwear when you're busy dripping sweat everywhere you go, a light jacket is still key during these transitional months — just look at the window if you don't believe us.

Peruse the following options to guide you, with all styles easily transitional from weekday to weekend to what day is it again?
