Summer jacket help!

5 replies

maslinpan · 25/04/2019 13:06

Every bloody summer I try and fail to find a casual jacket. My requirements aren't too ludicrous, I think: something I can chuck on, with pockets, more structured than a floppy linen number. My shape is the problem, I am a 16 hourglass, broad hips and shoulders, fairly short-waisted, so lots of jackets make me look really boxy. Denim jackets and drawstring waists with big patch pockets are everywhere, and they make me look crap. Standup collars are OK on me, though.
Am I asking too much?? Inspire me, please!!

A lightweight parka goes with everything.

Jersey blazer- there are LOADS around... about 10 on John Lewis alone- although they are mostly plain navy blue... but look around.

Mint velvet has a nice lightweight parka at the moment I just bought one.

Also watching - i would like something potentially a bit showerproof, in a colour which isn't black or navy and a bit funky. Also shortwaisted pear/hourglass.

Even finding something to try on is a nightmare, let alone finding something!,
