Dallas fashion blogger showcasing chic light weight summer jackets to elevate your next summer look.

Does anyone else get crazy cold in the summertime because of how low everyone tends to keep the AC?!  If you do then you’re not alone because I literally freeze when I go to restaurants, grocery stores, Nordstrom, etc this time of year!  Needless to say, I’m always grabbing a jacket when I leave the house because I know I’ll want to put it on once I get to where I’m going.  The key when wearing jackets in the summertime is to pick lightweight jackets that are made of breathable material.  I’ve found 5 that I absolutely love and find myself reaching for a ton and I think your summer wardrobe will like them too!  Keep scrolling to check out the 5 essential summer jackets guaranteed to not only keep you warm in the AC but they will also take all of your looks this summer up a few notches.

THE BEST PART, MOST OF THESE JACKETS ARE SUPER AFFORDABLE COMING IN JUST UNDER $100!

KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END BECAUSE THE LAST JACKET IS BY VERONICA BEARD AND IT’S ON MAJOR SALE WHICH RARELY HAPPENS WITH THIS BRAND!

LINEN BLEND UTILITY JACKET (UNDER $100);

First on my list of lightweight summer jackets is this amazing linen blend jacket from Nordstrom. It looks VERY similar the Veronica Beard jacket but for a fraction of the price! I love the camel color and the slouchy oversized fit goes perfectly over a form-fitting tank. I’m wearing an XS in this chic & affordable summer jacket.

ABERCROMBIE GRAY JEANS:

These jeans from Abercrombie & Fitch are my NEW favorite pair of denim! They’re super high-waisted, which I absolutely love, and they come in 12 different washes. This grey wash spoke to me the most but don’t be surprised if you see me wearing these jeans in several different colors in the near future. That is if I can get them before they sell out! I’m wearing a size 24 regular in these amazing jeans.

UNDER $100 COTTON BLEND JACKET:

This cotton blend jacket has been one of my go-to’s this summer and it’s easy to see why! It checks all the boxes; Lightweight material, neutral color, and an on-trend cropped length. Throw in the fact that it’s under $100 and you’ve got the perfect summer jacket! I’m wearing an XS and find it fits true to size.

UNDER $50 SUMMER MAXI DRESS:

This dress definitely deserves an honorable mention, considering it has been one of the top sellers over the spring & summer months. I’ve worn it before in a gorgeous blue shade but it’s just so good I had to grab it in another shade! It has a fantastic price point and is a summer staple you won’t want to miss out on. I’m wearing an XS in this chic &  comfortable dress.

LIGHT WEIGHT CROPPED BOMBER JACKET:

This cropped bomber is another lightweight summer jacket perfect for warding off that AC chill. In a stretch satin fabric, this is a comfortable and chic staple perfect to round out your summer wardrobe. If you want more of an oversized style, I would go up one size. I’m wearing an XS in this beautiful olive green summer jacket.

An oversized blazer thrown over a top that shows a bit of skin is one of my favorite looks and this summer jacket from Madewell is a great option!

VERONICA BEARD UTILITY JACKET ON SALE:

The last summer jacket I want to talk about is this versatile utility number by Veronica Beard. It comes with a detachable bottom so you end up getting 2 jackets for the price of 1! Since I’m petite I like to wear it without the bottom of the jacket to give it a cropped style but I think it looks fabulous either way. I’m wearing a size 0 in this chic 3rd layer.
