Happy Spring 2019!
Yesterday (March 20) officially commemorated the start of the spring solstice, ringing in a new season of blooming nature, greener pastures and a highly-anticipated increase in climate change across the board. Of course, all these weather changes will have a direct effect on the switch-up in style and how we get fresh on a daily basis. You know what that means — it’s time to go shopping!
Some of the spring staples include blue jeans, more T-shirts than one dresser can hold, fresh socks — please don’t forget those! — and most importantly a lightweight jacket. Since sportswear is dominating both streetwear and high-end fashion brands as of late, the best thing any wardrobe can use right now is without a doubt a nice rotation of windbreakers. The SS19 season has a lot of those to offer, so we decided to start your search on the right note with some of the best ones to kick things off.
Keep scrolling to see which one (or all!) of these 10 essential windbreaker jackets will turn your spring 2019 season over on a good leaf:
