These items might tickle your fancy. They are fairly lightweight, and good in transitional or milder weather. Some can be worn in Summer with inside air conditioning, and many can be layered. I was impressed with the clever design of some White House Black Market tops in particular.
Be sure to browse the colour and size options. Some of the items are deeply discounted.
- DR2 By Daniel Rainn Release Pleated Kimono: '70s Kimono Fabness. If you need a long flowing LIGHTWEIGHT topper with a bit of structure - try this one. The pleating creates definition and interest. Great over a sheath dress too. The mix of lilac with earth tones is unique.
- BCBGeneration Double Breasted 3/4 Modern Trench Coat: A modern classic unlined trench coat with removable hood. Great price! The inside of the coat is black. Comes in a watery light blue.
- AVEC LES FILLES A-Line OS Rain Parka: A teal rain parka with plenty of room for layers. The adjustable drawstring at the waist creates a nice bit of structure if that's your cup of tea. Or loosen the drawstring for a straighter cut. Versatile long length.
- LIVERPOOL LOS ANGELES Liverpool Clean Coated Denim Moto Jacket: A coated denim jacket in a moto silhouette in a warm shade of caramel is a rare find - and here it is. Comfy with stretch. Might run big.
- PAIGE Aveline Denim Jacket: A classic denim jacket WITHOUT stretch, but the rayon content in the fabric creates a soft finish.
- BLANKNYC Faux Leather Bomber Jacket with Removable Hood: A bone bomber with a removable hood has a sporty '70s vibe. $50 and good quality. Soft, polished, and quite short. A good way to dress down more formal pieces too. Comes in toffee.
- Nordstrom Cotton Chambray Button-Up Shirt: If you're after a simple and good quality chambray shirt, this is a good one. It can create an on-trend column of denim. Size down.
- AVEC LES FILLES Floral Jacquard Tuxedo Jacket: A dressy and long well-made blazer for a long torso. $65.
- White House Black Market Floral-Print Tie-Neck Blouse: This is one of the cleverest sheer blouses I've seen, and it's mine. The on-trend spaced floral is awfully pretty, and the lantern sleeves are elegant. It has a matching camisole in the SAME floral pattern to combat the sheerness of the fabric. Ample coverage and works well with bra straps. The camisole has adjustable straps so you can create a higher neckline. It's GORGEOUS. All sheer patterned blouses should come with matching patterned camisoles. Fluid fit, and you might need to size down.
- White House Black Market 3/4 Sleeve Reversible Mesh Top: If you enjoy form-fitting mesh tops with V-necks, this one is REVERSIBLE. A colourful floral on one side, and a simple graphic black and white one on the other. Click the link to see the second pattern. The side ruching is forgiving on the midsection. A great layer for under jackets and vests too.
- White House Black Market Bateau-Neck Silk-Blend Burnout Blouse: This is a clever design. The blouse is made of TWO layers of the same sheer patterned fabric to make it more opaque and interesting.
- White House Black Market Black + White Dolman Sweater: This is gorgeous if you like V-necks and wear black and white. The gentle fluid fit is flattering, and wonderfully tempered with a welt. It's the type of top that can look good over wide bottoms or a flared skirt.
- White House Black Market WHBM Logo Sweater: The logo pattern on this sweater is swirly and graphic, and is unrecognizable as a logo. It packs a punch and is great layered under a blazer.
- White House Black Market Tie-Waist Poplin Shirt: If you enjoy wrap shirts and rich pastel lilacs, this is worth a look. The waist tie is dramatic so consider yourself warned. It looks best tied in a bow because the ties are long. Fab over a skirt, and comes in white and dark green.
- M&S Collection Cotton Rich High Neck Utility Jacket: Rose Pink Utility Jacket Fabness. The cargo pockets and drawstring make a statement, so make sure you like those details.
- M&S Collection Denim Jacket with Stretch: Lemon Stretch Denim Jacket Fabness. A rare find! Comes in olive and a rare salmon pink. Fitted, soft and a classic with a colourful edge.
- M&S Collection Cotton Rich Textured Crew Neck Jumper: A lime cotton-rich sweater that works well on a crisp Spring day. Fluid, not too long, comfy, soft, and comes in cream and light blue. I'm ordering the lime.
- Gap Urbanite Top: A shirt made of technical fabric that feels soft and silky. Drapes and layers well. Comes in colours.
- H&M Quilted Jacket: Click the link to see the architectural fit of this bone puffer. It's roomy, and has a swingy silhouette. Super cute and on-trend. The hood is not removable.
