Jacket for travelling

Hi, I'm going to Bucharest mid-September for a week and I'm looking for a stylish jacket that will go with everything can't be not too warm as it's about 23-26° I tend to wear dresses more than anything and very rarely wear jeans although I'll probably take one pair and shorts. I'd be very grateful for any suggestions. At the moment all have come up with is a denim jacket!

@MissLucyEyelesbarrow I particularly liked that the sleeves had a sort of stretchy jersey panel, so pushed up really nicely! I am indeed a child of the 80s.

I hear you. I am unable to resist a white jacket, even though I never wear them because they always get filthy and/or make me look like Linda Lusardi circa 1988 (though sadly without the impressive norkage).

I bought this recently and was surprised that I liked it so much. Its a good length too and goes with loads of things.

@MissLucyEyelesbarrow Grin

@StarlightLady I've got a pale pink M&S denim jacket and have worn it loads.

This is the sort of thing I was thinking of but in a more travel-friendly colour

I've bought that next jacket but I think I'm going to order the whistles one too!

I love the whistles one in burgundy. I'm a 12 but it's only available in a 10. I need to sit on my hands don't I? 😂

I’ve had those whistles jackets for years and agree they are really versatile! Didn’t realise they’ve updated to so many colours

People keep on recommending the Whistles jackets to me but the shape does nothing for me. Definitely one you should try on first!

I have a ruched sleeve linen blazer that is brilliant for travelling - M&S, H&M all do variations on them.

I love this!

I know things go in cycles and these have probably always been around but this threw me right back to my sixth form days which was 1980-82!

I might buy one and relive my youth. Now where are those pixie boots?

I have this and I love it. It travels well - you can do anything to it, it doesn't wrinkle. But probably not as versatile with dresses as a chore or a cargo jacket

Oh, I like that one from Plumo.
