By Greg Emmanuel · Updated August 25, 2021

As we approach the last days of August, the end of summer is around the corner. Now, this doesn’t mean we’re trying to rush the fall season, but we certainly want to make sure we’re prepared for the transitional time when the weather gets a little cooler. During this time, shorts are surely still in rotation, but we might pair them with a long-sleeve top or a hoodie instead of the lightweight tanks we’re used to. That said, we’ve gathered a list of lightweight jackets that will go well with practically anything and provide the best of both worlds: showing a little skin and keeping warm.

01
Short Linen Trench Jacket
Linen is one of the best fabrics to wear in the summer, it’s lightweight and allows a breeze to pass through. This short linen trench is the perfect transitional piece.

Organza Button-Up
The great thing about button-down shirts is that during this transitional season they can be used as a light jacket. This organza piece proves the perfect frame to show off the top underneath.
