Let’s face it-Summer just isn’t Summer any more. The odd week or two of sun gives us occasional hope, but inevitably lets us down. So is it time to put the shorts away for good? Say goodbye to flip flops, sunglasses and sun cream? Maybe we should just give up hope and don a thick Winter jack every time we leave the house, just in case we do get caught in the frustratingly unpredictable torrential downpours. OR we could just wear a brilliantly versatile lightweight Summer jacket! Chuck it on over a lightweight top and you’ve got instant protection from the weather-whilst still keeping cool. With our sale now well underway, there’s no better time to get what is fast becoming a Summer essential ahead of shorts… sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but to make you feel a little bit better, I’ve picked some of the best lightweight jackets in our sale to help you get through the season!

The Fisherman…

This season’s style staple and massive trend, the fisherman’s jacket brings the original hipster look into mainstream style. Link with skinny jeans and converse to be a new found hipster, or wear it your own way and nail this Summer’s coolest piece of outerwear…

Old faithful…

Some styles are fads, overnight sensations that will suit you fine if you don’t mind changing key pieces in your wardrobe once or twice a year; others are stalwarts against the test of time. Styles that never change or lose their appeal, no matter how old they get. After a timeless jacket that will serve you better than a faithful dog? Look no further than the one and only Barbour. Opt for the traditional A7 trials jacket which comes in a range of colours, for the very best in timeless style and quality.

The wind breaker…

The very best in chuck on and go jackets, these will suit any man, wearing anything. With jeans, shorts or chinos, you can’t go wrong wearing any of these. Easy peasy. Ryan J Gray
