15 Chic Lightweight Fall Jackets For Mastering In-Between Season Style
Back-to-school season doesn't simply apply to adolescents and their parents; in fact Labor Day marks the end of the lazy, hazy crazy days of summer for adults as well. However, instead of shopping for Converse All Star Sneakers and snazzy pencil cases, post-grads are searching for transitional clothing to suit September's flurry of activity. No single item is more difficult to master during the dog days of an Indian summer than a jacket thick enough to ward off a crisp fall chill yet sufficiently lightweight in case of an unforeseen heatwave. If your thick knits are still tucked away and your gossamer summer sweaters suddenly seem inadequate in the face of fall weather, snap up one of these 15 alluring, lightweight jackets instead.
