Believe it or not, spring is just around the corner — which means it’s time to replace your heavy winter coats with something a little lighter.
While that doesn’t mean we’re giving up on outerwear just yet, celebrities like Katie Holmes, Emma Watson and Jessica Biel have recently taken a page from Taylor Swift and Nicole Kidman’s style book by wearing the solution to our transitional fashion woes: lightweight jackets.
Whether styled with sweats and a turtleneck for a day of running errands like Holmes, thrown over a button-up and jeans while in Milan like Watson, or worn with a hoodie and sneakers after a fashion show like Biel, a lightweight jacket easily adds warmth to an outfit without overheating at the end. on an early spring day. Plus, lightweight jackets are a timeless wardrobe staple—just swap out a tee and sneakers for a sweater and boots when the temperatures drop again in the fall.
We’ve rounded up lightweight jackets from Amazon, ASOS, H&M and more to help you usher in spring in style—and they’re all under $70.
