Coats for S/F…

Carla

…or just for spring and just for fall?

How do you deal with transitional weather? Do you wear the same coats and jackets for both spring and fall - or do you have different coats for the transitional seasons? What about summer? Are coats a ‘thing’ for you in summer?

I wear the same coats (and puffers) in both Spring and Fall. No need of coats in our hot and sultry Summers, I only have two lightweight jackets ( one cotton, one linen) that get worn just for a few days, when the temps are still ... reasonable.

No jackets in summer and the same jackets for Spring and Fall. I have many. The reason being the jackets I wore in winter in Johannesburg are suitable for S/F here on the Black Sea. That said I have different ones for Early Spring/Late Fall and Late Spring/Early Fall IYKWIM. The breeze factor by the water means I need some type of jacket for 10 months of the year. Coats are for winter. Does this make sense?

Sounds like SISI (we cross posted) and i have similar needs. I have a linen blazer supposedly for summer, but it is always too hot for a layer. Then it is not warm enough when the weather suddenly changes.

I had moved my heaviest puffer out of rotation only to find I had to get it back for early mornings! I was planning on wearing heavy knits with lighter jackets but the current cold spell is just too cold. I'm staying in my sneakers though, done with boots.

Star, I store my puffers away not before June! Seriously. I learnt this the hard way many years ago. This system works well for me. I know too well how "mean" our Spring can be!

SISI I just commented to my DH yesterday that we are experiencing Cruel Spring. I do keep out a shorter puffer. I only remove the heaviest longer two. I also have a medium weight anorak type jacket with a hood that usually gets worn until the end of May. I do have a bad habit of being 'overly ambitious' by ditching my deep winter items too early every year. Wishful thinking.
