One the jackets I keep going back to is the Columbia ladies vest. It is a non fussy, easy to wear and wash and a casual but good looking vest to wear with your jeans and top. These vests are perfect for spring when the sky is clear and sunny but there is a hint of chill in the air. The hooded fleece jacket is another clothing item that does not get its due because of the casual appeal it represents. But it is the most sought after jacket to wear during the spring and fall months. These jackets also serve as the go-to jackets when you have to run out for an errand or take the dog for a walk. Here are some of the options that you can consider when you are buying a vest and a jacket: Columbia women’s Omni-Heat Mighty Lite Vest is the perfect vest to wear on the days when it is sunny but chilly outside. The insulation inside delivers warmth but at the same time it is light weight and non bulky. Thought it retains 20% more body warmth, it is breathable also. The vest has side pockets that are perfect to keep your keys or wallet in. The color bolt is bright and fun and a great option to wear over your regular jeans and top. Another option is the women’s Benton Springs Vest from Columbia for the casual days when you need your vest to be comfortable as well as functional. It is perfect to wear for a hike in the woods or for running errands. The hooded fleece jacket is another alternative for the days when you are seeking comfort and performance from your jacket. The jacket from Blair in coral color is a great choice to opt for. So do you like these options? What kind of light jacket or vest do you own for the spring months? Please share your comments below!
