This Cropped Jacket Was Made to Pair With Leggings This Spring

As someone who literally studies Old Navy's new-arrivals section [1] for a living, I understand that the brand's website can be overwhelming at times. After all, there are so many options that it can be easy to accidentally overlook an item that deserves a spot in your wardrobe. So on a recent perusal of the retailer's site, I scrolled by the StretchTech Loose Cropped Full-Zip Jacket [2] ($38, originally $40) and knew it was something special. From the loose fit and cute crop to the drawstring hem and elasticized cuffs, everything about it is on trend and versatile, so I knew I had to give it a try.

This jacket is very lightweight and very cute, and in my opinion, it was born to be worn with your favorite pair of leggings [3] this spring and beyond. One happy reviewer so aptly described the material as "soft" and "moveable." Another shopper noted that the material is unlike a windbreaker's "crunchy" texture, which I completely agree with — this one's silky and buttery, like forget-you're-wearing-it soft. Oh, and in line with its name, it fits loosely, making it perfect for throwing on after a workout. (Because who wants to put on a tight jacket after working up a sweat?)

If this creamy white color isn't for you, it comes in three other options: black, a rusty orange hue, and an earthy greenish brown. My only warnings ahead of buying: this jacket is prone to wrinkles, which isn't the end of the world, but just something good to know; and please note that this jacket won't necessarily keep you super warm, but it's great for bringing with you when you're unsure if you'll need a second layer. Or maybe you just want to amp up the cute factor of your workout 'fit [4]? In that case, you really can't go wrong here.
