As a personal stylist, I’ve been hunting down stylish lightweight jackets for my clients for months now.
Here is a collection of the best women’s jackets of 2024.
Denim Jackets
Truly a wardrobe staple, a denim jacket is perfect for making an outfit more casual. It’s also the perfect lightweight layer for transitional weather.
AG Robyn Denim Jacket
While oversized denim jackets are all the rage, this fitted version is perfect for those with classic taste. It also works great paired with dresses.
Retrofete Ada Denim Jacket
Spotted recently on a stylish housewife, this jacket perfectly fits the “casual glam” vibe for San Diego.
Pilcro Denim Boyfriend Jacket
If you are after a perfectly oversized jacket, this one from Anthropologie is a great choice. It’s also available in petite, plus, and adaptive versions.
Cropped Trench Coats
These jackets are one of my new favorites. In Southern California, the need for a true trench coat is rare. Cropped trenches are also comfortable to drive in, which is a rarity for structured jackets.
Abercrombie & Fitch Cropped Trench Coat
This is a great version of the crop trench trend. It runs large, so order one size smaller than usual.
Steve Madden Crop Trench
Like the one above, order a size down from your usual.
Avec Les Filles Cropped Trench Coat
Are the two above a little too cropped for you? Are you very tall? Try this version.
Lightweight Bomber Jackets
Another classic shape, modern bomber jackets can be paired with athleisure or denim. Their versatility makes them a popular option season after season.
Athleta Jetset Bomber Jacket
This is one of the most stylish bomber jackets ever created. It will be your go-to athleisure jacket.
DKNY Bomber Jacket
Here is another great example of a casual glam jacket. Dress it up with trousers or dark denim.
Best Lightweight Jackets: Packable Edition
These are excellent for travel and outdoor activities.
Uniqlo Ultra Lightweight Puffer
This affordable puffer is great to pair with joggers and leggings for travel.
Lululemon Always Effortless Jacket
Be prepared for wind and rain in a stylish fashion. This is also a great casual jacket for running errands or hitting the gym.
Ralph Lauren Quilted Velboa Lined Coat
This classic jacket is available in petite sizes too.
Leather Jackets
Nothing makes you feel cooler than a leather jacket. A classic moto or a blazer-style jacket are great options for creating an elevated casual look.
L’agence Leather Biker Jacket
I’m in love with this glamorous gold jacket in a subtle, but luxe hue.
AllSaints Cargo Quilted Leather Biker Jacket
AllSaints creates leather jackets that look like they’re twice the price. This one is so versatile. It can be paired with dresses, skirts, jeans, pants, and just about anything else.
Quince Women’s 100% Leather Motorcycle Jacket
Quince is offering a classic leather moto jacket for under $200. The burgundy shade is especially gorgeous.
Honorable Mentions – Other Lightweight Jackets
Although these jackets didn’t quite fit into my categories above, they deserve an honorable mention for being awesome anyway.
Kut from the Kloth Kyra Pleated Stretch Cotton Jacket
Flattering and comfortable, this is the perfect jacket for your next coffee meet-up.
Cinq a Sept Holly Jacket
This jacket is part of a matching set that’s been a client favorite for years. If you see a color you love, grab it immediately. The best colors go out of stock very quickly.
Club Monaco Trench Coat
Now this is more of a medium-weight jacket. The stretch cotton twill and relaxed fit make this a more comfortable, modern trench.
Lululemon Define Jacket
This has been, and probably will always be, one of my top athletic jacket recommendations.
