Antidotes for that Fickle Spring Weather

It’s the perennial springtime fashion conundrum: The day starts out chilly, then morphs into beach-worthy weather by lunchtime. How can you stay comfortable without compromising your style?

No problem. Top off your seasonal look with spring’s smart outerwear offerings.

The spring 2017 catwalk offered up a slew of fresh designs. Look for jean jackets with unexpected twists including slouchy boyfriend cuts, fluorescent tones, distressed denim and subtle embroidery.

The moto jacket is updated in soft, spring hues such as pale pink-and-cream and is shrunken to navel-grazing proportions.

The bomber remains a fashion mainstay. The season’s latest iterations include floral embroidery, quilting and prints.

Safari jackets, first popularized by iconic designer Yves Saint Laurent in the ‘60s, are a must for any wardrobe. Army-green utility coats make ruggedly cool layering pieces. Try a sumptuous belted suede jacket in deep fig for a more refined look.

Manic weather patterns? Bring em on!
