Short Sleeved Jackets

A short sleeved jacket seems counterintuitive, but there is a need for them. Just think, the weather is still pretty warm, but in the morning or at night you need an extra layer. Or, the beautiful crisp days that call for an added layer, but not long sleeves or a jacket yet. There are also 3/4 sleeved jackets available if that suits your style better.

See, this is when short sleeved jackets are a wardrobe must. Besides wearing them to transition from summer to fall, they are perfect for transitioning from spring to summer (or, depending on your climate, winter to spring).

Since these jackets are so versatile, pick one in black and one in white/cream. But, you don't have to stop there- I have seen lots of cute metallic, navy and patterned short sleeved jackets. Also, styles can vary from casual chic to more structured blazers. There are a ton of color and style options available, so everyone should be able to find at least one short sleeved jacket that is just right for them.

You can wear a short sleeved jacket to work, with jeans and a tank or t-shirt, over a dress, with a romper or jumper, or with a tunic and leggings. You are only limited by your imagination...or wardrobe.
