Khaki, neutral hued jackets, short or long, cotton or linen or tweed (I am loving this linen short jacket here) are a staple that has stood the test of time. While I always need a long cotton trench (just below the knees for myself), having a short jacket that wraps around the waist is a good idea as well for layering in the spring, summer and early fall. The jacket above would be a perfect investment piece, so certainly something to keep an eye out for (I found a few below). Peruse today’s Style Inspiration for inspiration and perhaps you already have something in your closet that would work in a way you hadn’t imagined.
