It’s never too soon to start wearing cute Spring jackets

Just choose one that’s sufficiently lightweight for layering, and go to town.  I’m putting this Iro jacket first because it’s my birthday in a couple of weeks, and I want certain individuals who like to claim that I am tough to shop for to see that I am making it very, very easy this year.

Another one from Iro. Iro is killing me this season.

If this bandana print  jacket had been presented to me during a pre-photo shoot walk-through at my old job, I would totally have had one of my not-on-my-watch moments and excised it from the rack. But I am currently finding it quite charming.

A straightforward cotton version from J. Crew that plays it as lady as it does tomboy, which I like.

This one might be on the thick side for layering, what with the leather sleeves, but its overwhelming cuteness prevented it from exclusion here. Truly, in a season of bomber jackets, the best take I’ve seen yet.

Possibly the most layer-able of them all: the material Rag & Bone uses for this jacket—which they seem to do a new iteration of every season—is stretchy and comfortable like a sweater, but reads structured like a jacket.

A lot to pay for mere whisper of a jacket that is not—in the parlance of Joan Cusak in Working Girleven leather, but sheer perfection nevertheless.

Here’s your light and weekendy get-on-an-airplane-looking-put-together-but-still-totally-comfortable option.

    Very nice. Particularly the Rag & Bone and the Splendid.

    I do love those two Iro jackets. These are a much cooler alternative to a cardigan.

    Could the Rag & Bone jacket work with a skirt?

    This cracks me up! My co-worker and I are wearing very similar jackets today, and they also resemble the Rag & Bone jacket above — but mine’s from Target and cost $45. Even though I can’t afford most of these items, I still dig your picks.
