The rising temperatures might finally allow you to put away your warmer spring jackets, from the Harrington to the jacquard (or granny print), and even the quilted ones. It’s time to switch over to lighter, more transitional clothing. Keeping street style muses very much in mind, we’ve found the windbreaker to be the best option for a warm and rainy April. You may call it a parka, an eighties-style jacket, or even a sporty dad jacket, but above all else, call it an essential item at this point in the season.
How to style a windbreaker jacket with everything this spring.
A windbreaker is somewhere between sporty and chic (well, it’s got the best of both worlds) and can be paired with all on-trend everyday pieces, not just athleisure looks. The attendees of the last fashion weeks confirm they pair well with everything, from dress pants, pleated skirts, miniskirts, clogs, high heels, and even jeans.
