Though summer is in sight, spring has only just begun and with it comes in-between weather to confuse the heck out of us and our wardrobes. We’re all familiar with those days that start out brisk, heat up around noon, and take a chilling dip at sunset, but rather than dealing with haphazard outfits that feel less than 100, look to a lightweight jacket to be your savior this season. From fresh outerwear trends like classic-with-a-twist trench coats and utilitarian silhouettes to non-floral prints like leopard and tie-dye there are options for everyone. See 21 of our favorites, ahead.
