12 stylish jackets to help you combat this weird weather

By Billie Bhatia

As weather conditions reach peak ridiculousness, we’ve rounded up the best jackets to shelter you from the storm. 

Without trying to trivialise the obviously incredibly serious topic of climate change, it’s really messing with my wardrobe. One minute it’s 18 degrees and I have more than just a ‘glow’ on my morning commute and the next minute a harsh wind is whipping around my now-bare legs and setting my core body temperature to sub-zero.

The problem is, we have surpassed the time of big wool coats (with heat tech jackets underneath). They just don’t feel ‘seasonal’ any more – the clocks have gone forward for goodness sake – but our heavy knits alone just aren’t cutting it, especially when freak hail storms rear their aggressive heads. 

To quote Miss Congeniality’s Cheryl Frasier, “All you need is a light jacket”, and we’ve rounded up the ones set to keep your temperature warm and your aesthetic cool.

Protects you from a hail storm (and any other kind of precipitation, to be honest) and offers serious cool points.
