Summer Jackets

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
Jacket: £49, Monsoon. Sunglasses: Le Specs. Top: Zara. Jeans: £38, Asos. Bag: £170, M Hulot. Shoes: Jimmy Choo

It sounds like an oxymoron…but for us Brits, there is such a thing as a ‘summer jacket’ (part of the reason I did this post in fact, is that it’s huge in SEO – techy term for ‘people google it a lot’). I featured this jacket in my ‘High Street buys that could pass for Isabel Marant’ post and then convinced myself that I needed to try it. Lighter weight than usual jackets, it’s more of a cardigan (but way more sexy) – I’d usually pair with a t-shirt but have tried with this season’s boho blouse for something different.

    I never wear Monsoon, and this was a great, unexpected change. The bag is also gorgeous, doesn't fit much in but I've been wearing it nonstop x

    Lovely jacket! As someone who feels the cold, even in summer, this is a great alternative to the ubiquitous denim jacket. LOVE!

    Hi Marina, so sorry the top is from Zara, I bought it a few months ago so think it is sold out ;( x

    I always feel the cold…and have also been living in my denim jacket – and now have moved to a leather jacket -so this is such a nice change!

    Thank you – the peasant top is my new wardrobe shifter. I would've previously worn just a tee but this feels more modern…x
