Even if you’re currently experiencing hot weather, there are moments when having a light layer on hand or in your closet is an absolute must. Even though I tend to run hot, I like having a light cardigan, jacket or button-down shirt near my person at all times. A lightweight layer can save the day when your office blasts the AC to arctic levels, temperatures drop in the evening, or while traveling (airplanes are significantly cooler than I always expect).
Whether you want a bit more coverage or don’t want to spend your days shivering in an overly air-conditioned room, a lightweight summer layer can really save the day. Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite options to get you through summer and beyond. Almost all of these items can be thrown on over a T-shirt, dress or even layered under additional jackets if the weather takes a turn for the worse. Snag one and stay comfy all season long.
