One day it's cold, and the next it's warm. Then it rains for a week. Then the sun comes out and you're sitting on a patio sipping Bloody Marys.
Spring is confusing.
Make it less confusing with a good, lightweight jacket. Fortunately, we've got 10 of those right here.
These spring jackets—which include bombers, denim and the occasional shacket—are perfect options for in-between temperatures. Add one or more to your layering arsenal, and live your life free from the struggle of being slightly too chilly/wet/warm ever again.
