Longer style lightweight jackets / shirts

I really like the jackets in fashion at the moment but they are all too short.

i can’t find any that are longer to cover my big stomach. Ideally I’d like really lightweight or short sleeve shirts to wear in the summer. I don’t want them thigh length, just slightly longer than the ones in the shops at the moment.

I've just bought the perfect jacket!from Poetry
It comes in 4 colours and is currently reduced. It's very light, unlined linen, and I bought it specifically for the reason you mention, it is perfect on me ( I'm 5'3, so it looks longer on me than on the model). I might even buy it in another colour, I like it so much. After reading reviews, I bought it in an 18 ( am 18/20) as it is quite a loose cut, and that was the right shout.

Yes that’s perfect style but I’m not a big floral person. If it was a block colour that would be great
