What spring/summer jacket are you wearing? I need help!

I'm looking for something fairly classic but casual that can transition between my two wardrobes:

Work: Mainly black or navy scater syle knee length dresses or skirts with ballet flats & little cardies

Weekend:Either skinnies & a long cardie or maxis & a jean skirt with sandles, converse or ballet flats. Usually wear deep red,navy,grey cream or forest green (no bright colours) with tan accessories.

Any ideas for an everyday jacket?Last year I wore a denim jacket but I've lost it! i feel abit too formal in blazers & too 'dressd down' in parkas.
i thought maybe a biker style thing might suit but feel abit clueless & can't seem to find anything that I like. the shops seem to be full of kimonos or patterned bombers which I don't think will work for me.

Please help!x

I'm wearing this and this. £50 for the second one is ridiculous but oh well! It's very thin and looks pretty good. I looked for ages....

Sandals and summer jackets, those are very tricky.

They are both v.cute revolutionarytoad. Maybe I need 2 jackets- a more casual parka to wear on colder days & a lighter,shorter jacket for milder weather.Hmm.

Agree with the sandles thing btw.

thanks!
I got the pop boutique one in a small and it's slightly oversized, btw.

There's this which is smart but phew, expensive....this which is a bit less.....and this.

I like the first but faint at the price tag. The UO one is really nice too. Am still not sure about parkas..I like them but think i could only really wear them with jeans & they wouldnt suit my work clothes or maxis...

revolutionarytoad the second asos parka, how is the sizing?? It looks perfect but a lot of sizes are out of stock in khaki colour :(

revolutionarytoad · 06/06/2014 11:22

aw pity :(
I think I got a size 10 but I would probably go for a size 8 next time, specially since in summer I won't be wearing many layers under it.
If you're around a size 10 you could probably try a size 6, is that still available?

I'm wearing this at the moment, can be dressed up or down Banana Republic

yazzy85 · 06/06/2014 15:52

Only size 4 left in the khaki asos one :(

Next denim quilted bomber jacket - like a smarter denim jacket. Goes in and out of stock so keep an eye open. They also do a grey or red quilted bomber jacket if you prefer. All are plain and not too puffy ...!

This from Gap or this from Geox?

SayuriSan · 07/06/2014 10:42

I like the BP one Betty,thanks :)
I think I'm really fussy & it doesnt help that I don't have a picture of what I want in my head.it does seem to be 2 diffrent jackets though i think.
Thanks for all suggestions x
