The Words "Light Jacket" Haunt Me, But These 31 Picks Are Providing Some Relief

There are very few shopping-related things that make my head feel like it's going to explode, but light jackets are undoubtedly one of them. There's a very fine line between being too cold and too hot when the temperatures are hovering in the 50s and 60s, so figuring out the right jacket to wear can be a challenge, and the multitude of jacket types on the market can be overwhelming, to say the least.
I know I'm not the only one who recognizes the light-jacket predicament, so I set out to get us all some relief. I searched the internet far and wide and made a carefully selected list of the best light jackets. These options are versatile enough to go with much of your wardrobe and work for various occasions. Plus, they're stylish, of course, and just the right weight for those in-between times. Scroll on to shop my picks and find out why I think at least one of them will end your light-jacket woes.
I find that faux leather is lighter in weight than genuine leather, and your wallet will thank you for not making it that much lighter.
Another go-to light jacket for me is a trench. I love how this Reformation option has more of a modern, oversize fit.
It's rare to find a tweed jacket that's oversize, so this affordable one is the jackpot.
Scarf-jackets may be a trend, but I think this one is forever.
The description of this reads "lightweight yet cozy," and that's all I need to know.
Thoughtful details like the corduroy accents and zipper under the buttons make this one stand out.
Blazers make a great light jacket, but you want to choose one that isn't too thin, like this corduroy option.
It wouldn't be a light-jacket story without one of J.Crew's Lady Jackets.
Reformation has really mastered the whole light-jacket thing.
As any good fashion person will tell you, a shacket is the light jacket of the 2020s.
If I owned this, I'd honestly probably wear it every day for the remainder of fall.
If you want an investment piece, a Toteme jacket is completely worth it. Right now, this hourglass trench is topping my list.
When it comes to jackets, this shade of green is as versatile as black.
This highly rated jacket can easily be packed into your bag for those "just in case" days.
If you're dealing with temperatures in the 60s and 70s, this option is perfect.
Another tweed option that goes with literally everything and will get so much wear.
This isn't The North Face's warmest puffer, and that's why it made the cut.
