Summer Style Guide: Five Hot Summer Jackets for Those Cool Summer Nights

Joyce Carole
Summer nights can get a little chilly. Here are five perfect summer jackets to help keep you warm and stylish on those chilly summer nights.

Fleece Jackets are a Summer Must-Have

Chic and stylish jackets made of sweatshirt material are a summer must- have. Can you think of a better way to keep warm in a movie theater or sitting around a campfire on a chilly summer night? These soft fleece jackets are as comfortable as your favorite sweatshirt, but so much more stylish. Here are links to two great fleece jackets for summer.

Juicy Couture Ruched Fleece Jacket Available at Nordstrom's

Bugatchi Knit Fleece Jacket Available at Zappos.com

Classic Motorcycle Jacket

A classic cropped leather motorcycle jacket looks terrific over a floral summer dress or when worn with a pair of shorts and a tee. I prefer wearing beige or taupe leather jacket rather than black leather for summer. The Joie Danica leather jacket, which is available at Neiman Marcus for $300, is a stylish choice, perfect for chilly summer nights.

Denim Jackets Make a Comeback

The classic denim jacket is back and appears to be here to stay for summer. The newest trend is to wear denim on denim. The trick to rocking the denim on denim trend is to pair different shades of denim. For example, this Current Elliot bleached denim jacket, which is available at farfetch.com, looks incredible when worn with a pair of dark wash jeans. A denim jacket can also be worn in the summer over a sundress or with a pair of shorts. For the record, a good denim jacket can be one of the most versatile pieces in a fashionable girl's wardrobe.

You Can't Go Wrong with a Classic Seersucker Jacket

One of my favorite summer jackets is my seersucker blazer I bought on sale at Saks many years ago. I wear it with just about everything. A seersucker blazer can be worn with a pair of black or navy capris, a jean pencil skirt or a white skirt. Every woman should own a classic seersucker jacket. This one byMaxmara is a perfect choice for a summer jacket.

Summer Trench Coat

Summer often means rain, and while a rainy summer day can make the best of us a little blue, this happy yellow blazer (favored by Bachelorette, Ali Fedotowsky) will cheer you up on the dreariest of days. The yellow trench by designer Millard Fillmore is available at the upscale San Francisco boutique, Alys Grace.

    Nice to hear denim jackets are back. I'd better get one while they are fashionable.

    Joyce, but if I purchase one of these delightful little numbers, how will my husband offer me his jacket when I get the chills?! Cheers :)
