As always, the main fashion trend in women’s jackets this spring-summer season boils down to the glorious blend of simple yet highly sophisticated designs. A combination of diversified fabrics, textile materials, and bright prints, could all make way into our closets this season. Metal decorations, natural leather, and leather with a hint of fray and suede are also in these days. Regarding the form, sportswear silhouettes, patches and punctures stand out. Since it’s spring-summer, colours vary from the basic black and brown to a more avant-garde sandy-red and season-appropriate brights.
