Need help picking a spring jacket

Lee Hovey

I really need a spring/summer jacket. I have a white safari jacket from gap, a couple years old. But I think it's officially too small. I don't want to spend much at all because honestly I beat up my spring/summer jackets (shove them in the trunk when I go into a mall, etc), and I prefer a cotten canvas since I wear it almost daily, and like to just wahs it with my normal wash. So I have 2 that I am thinking of.

I like the idea of a nice pop color, but worry it might not go with everything. Anmd I love the shape of the neutral one... I am very torn.

Oh, and I am thinking of this one for rainy spring/summer days.

First two are both cute, I guess only you can decide what would work the best for you. I personally always try to have a white/cream jacket for spring, since it can be worn with everything, and add one in color later.

I do not like the shape of the rain jacket, it looks quite boxy. I'd like it better if it had a belt.

I also like the shape of the first one, but I am not sure how the khaki color would look in real life. The second one looks nice, but it's not really a coat. I like the color of the third one, but I agree with Tanya about the shape. Sorry I know I am not helping! Did you try H&M? They have quite a few canvas jackets right now.

I prefer the second 1 though agree it is perhaps more jackety than coaty.

Also agree with the above comments about the rain coat. Have you tried outdoor/ leisure shops we have Millets and Blacks in the uk i had a fab tie belted rain coat which is navy with blue and white swirls only about £20 which i love- brightens up a rainy day x

Sounds like the consensus is the first one, so what about the first one in the blue color. Is that blue neutrally enough do you think? (making up words, I know)

I hear you load and clear about the rain coat, so I am glad I asked. I actually really want a nice spring green rain coat, I really don't know why. So I will keep looking.

I haven't looked at H&M yet because there is no H&M within an hour of me, but when I go visit my sisters in NH I usually hit the H&M on the way. Just not sure when that will be next.

I did try EMS and one other outdoor store but I found all their coats are very "gear"... not my style at all.

So another for rain jacket:

This one, if I remember correctly the color is a little darker in person, which is good because it appears a tad too bright for my liking here.
