To jacket, or not to jacket, that is the question. It is one of the main questions, in fact, that may cross one’s mind when navigating warm weather, especially given that a breeze or slight temperature drop can make all the difference.
For times when you might want to wear a jacket during the summer, it can be difficult to know what to pick, but there are several styles that are best avoided: padded jackets, of any kind, aren’t recommended. Ditto fuzzy jackets, enveloping wool coats or anything made of a heavy fabric that could make you overheat. Instead, look to lightweight materials like linen or cotton, and steer clear of tight, fitted silhouettes (so your skin can breathe).
