Gone are the days that require heavy coats, scarves, and boots. While it’s not quite time to rock a tank top and sandals just yet, it is time to transition your wardrobe and put those bulky layers away in exchange for lighter layers. Warmer days and chilly evenings are ahead, so make sure you’re prepared to make the most out of your spring with the layers to shed when the sun’s high in the sky and put back on as the evenings grow cold.
A cargo jacket is the perfect lightweight layer for topping off tees-and-jeans casual outfits.
Put this cargo layer on in the morning, then get ready to shed it when the sun is at its strongest.
