The chic £30 George at Asda jacket perfect for layering and other transitional fashion pieces that look good all year round
Summer has arrived, but we're not ditching our jackets and boots quite yet. As is customary for the UK, the weather is still unpredictable – with scorching hot sunshine one minute and frigid winds the next.
The best way to plan for all occasions? Invest in some transitional pieces that can be layered, mixed and matched with other pieces to make them appropriate whatever the weather. Think light jackets over knitted dresses, chunky boots with skirts, or floaty dresses with long sleeves. These can all be repurposed by pairing with winter pieces in colder months – meaning you don't have to update your entire wardrobe each season.
If you're not sure where to start, read on for YOU Magazine fashion director Sophie Dearden-Howell' s top outerwear picks that will have you covered, no matter what the ever-changing UK weather throws your way.
