The increasingly scorching temperatures and the sun, the absolute star of our days, confirm that the warm season is here and has brought with it many new trends to explore and embrace.
Lengths are getting shorter, and heavy fabric garments are making way for tops, shirts, shorts and fluttering dresses. Space is also given to jackets that, no, do not have to be relegated only to mid-season and, indeed, in this period can be true allies of style.
Summer jackets, in fact, are fresh, light and colourful. They are a must-have to carry with you at all times, to wear during more formal appointments or ceremonies, for example, and also to use in the evening, when the temperatures drop and the cool wind caresses your skin. Haven't bought one yet? Read on to discover the must-haves of summer.
Summer jackets: how and when to wear them
The desire to uncover oneself in fine weather is higher than ever. However, there are times and events that require a certain dress code. And what can be a problem for many is solved by summer jackets.
These are outerwear rethought for the warm season, created from fresh, soft fabrics, such as cotton and linen, and therefore suitable for even the hottest temperatures. The models, as well as the colours, are many: you are spoilt for choice.
But when and how to wear summer jackets? Let's start by saying that they go well with everything: they can be used to create chic and glamorous separates, but can also be worn with shorts and tops, with jeans, high shoes and trainers.
Summer jackets can be worn for the office and for more formal events. But also at ceremonies, when the chosen dress has plunging necklines. Moreover, it is a strategic garment for the more chilly: when the sun gives way to dusk, and temperatures drop, the summer jacket can be worn over practically everything (from the most elegant to the most casual looks).
The models of the summer
As we anticipated, being a must-have garment, there are plenty of models of summer jackets on the market, and they all suit personal needs, both in terms of style and silhouette.
Before choosing the jacket that will accompany your summer, however, always pay attention to the fabric, preferring cotton, linen and cool materials that caress the body and do not suffocate the skin.
As far as models are concerned, however, you will be spoilt for choice: there are long summer jackets and those in oversize versions, for those who don't want to renounce comfort, those with a traditional cut, even double-breasted, and cropped jackets, for those who want to show off glamorous and relaxed outfits.
The colours deserve a special mention: never before have they been the absolute protagonists of the fashion scene. Vitamin nuances, floral and abstract prints, and then, again, unusual patterns and garish total colours. If you just can't do without black, then wear it only in the evening or for more formal events.
