With the weather warming up, it’s time to start thinking about the key pieces you’ll want in your wardrobe this season.
Although suits can always be worn year-round, the warmer months are more suited to sport jackets. They travel well and there are infinite ways to style a jacket depending on the weather, the occasion, and your personal tastes.
Here are our four must-have sport jackets for Spring/Summer 2019.
1. The High Blue Sport Jacket
Spring is the time to start pulling out the brighter colours, and a high shade of blue is just the ticket. It looks great with other vibrant hues, like a washed red trouser and bright pocket square. Look for a silk or linen blend fabric, which creates a fresh summer texture.

2. The Statement Navy Blazer
A navy blazer is always a staple, but this spring, you’ll start seeing details that make this old standard stand out. If you're looking for an updated navy jacket, we recommend choosing one with a textured fabric and a large peak lapel. Wear it with berry tones, a light blue or grey trouser, and suede driving shoes.

3. The Brown Jacket
People often think of brown as a fall colour, but this season we’re embracing warm, vibrant shades of brown for the spring and summer. The key here is to choose a jacket that has lighter tones running through it, like a light blue check or a textured tonal weave. We love this jacket worn with a light wash jean, polo shirt, and leather sneakers for a smart casual look.

4. The Berry Tone
From deep purples to vibrant reds, berry tones are taking over this season. These colours can almost be worn as a neutral, because they work well with so many other shades. It’s an absolute must-have. Wear a plum sport jacket with a patterned dress shirt and grey trousers for a top-notch office or event look.
