As we've just had one of the best bank holiday weekends this year (hello sunshine) I'm pretty sure of the disappointment that many will have endured this week; A) we've had to come back to work and B) the weather. However, a stylish summer jacket is the way forward shielding us from the elements whilst showing off our fashion savvy style. Here we give you four key looks and a guide to creating the perfect jacket outfit:
Look 1: Biker Chic
Edge up your look with Vivienne Westwood’s Chevalier panelled black leather jacket, featuring an oversized asymmetric collar and lapel with contrast jersey panelling to arm sleeves and sides. For the ultimate biker look, add some black skinny jeans with Sam Edelman’s spiked slipper shoes and the Forever Unique Samba skull print vest top.

Look 2: City Shopper
A trench coat (or mac) is every girl’s best friend for the unpredictable weather and the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Ted Baker have created the perfect one. Wear belted or unbuttoned and keep it casual with skinny jeans and Michael Kors hi top wedge trainers.

Look 3: Wedding Guest
We all dream about the perfect summer wedding, but sometimes a jacket has got to make an appearance as well. Opt for a cropped, fitted blazer to emphasise your figure and match your gorgeous dress. Ted Baker offers the perfect ivory metallic blazer and stand out Haraa pleated dress.

Look 4: Festival Girl
With Glastonbury, V and Creamfields on the horizon, a Barbour jacket is a must have. The waxed cotton Beadnell jacket has a vintage, old school feel yet still incorporates the classic Barbour style, enabling you to plough through those muddy fields and shield away any unwanted elements. Inject that traditional festival style by adding a printed Paul Smith t-shirt dress, a Marc By Marc Jacobs shoulder bag and not forgetting the all important Joules wellies.
