After months of never-ending cold, we're beyond ready to ditch our poufy parkas [1] and embrace the warm, sunny weather that comes with the Spring season. But before we can shed our second skin altogether [2], there are those annoying in-between temps to worry about: days that feel almost Summer-like at first, only to end with wind and rain and a need for more than just a flimsy cardigan.
So we've rounded up a few of our favorite lighter outerwear options, from leather jackets to trench coats, to get us through the next few weeks in style. Read on to see and shop them all.
