6 Best Technical Jackets for Easy Summer Layering When the Rain Comes

So, this time last week we were hot, hot, hot — and now the forecast is looking distinctly Scottish again. Muggy mornings, sudden showers and that in-between temperature where you definitely don’t need a coat… but also definitely need something.

Enter: the technical jacket.

Lightweight, practical and surprisingly chic, the technical jacket has quietly become one of fashion’s coolest outerwear pieces. Spotted across the catwalks for several spring/summer seasons now, the sporty, showerproof layer has filtered onto the high street in a big way.

Perfect thrown over a vest, white tee or summer dress, it’s the ultimate easy layer for unpredictable days.
