In Short Order: A Trio of Short Jackets Perfect For Summer

In Short Order: A Trio of Short Jackets Perfect For Summer

When summer calls for elegance without the weight of heavy layers, Favourbrook’s short jackets rise to the occasion. The Camden, Issy, and Davina jackets - each a masterclass in tailored brevity - offer chic solutions for smart summer events, from garden parties to evening soirees. Their cropped silhouettes strike a balance between sophistication and breathability, making them indispensable for warm-weather wardrobes.

The Camden jackets, available in Aqua Lagoon Finborough Linen, Ivory Multi Crosby Linen, and Teal Wimbourne Linen, epitomise versatile elegance. These short, fitted pieces finish below the waist at the tops of the thighs, accentuating the waist while leaving room for breezy dresses or tailored trousers underneath. Their lightweight linen construction ensures comfort in the heat, while vibrant hues and subtle patterns add a playful yet polished touch. Pair the Aqua Lagoon with a white midi dress and strappy sandals for a fresh daytime look, or style the Teal with our silk linen Cigarette trousers and a silk blouse for evening refinement.

The Issy jacket in Green Cosgrove Crease-Resist Linen brings a structured yet relaxed vibe. Its cropped length and crease-resistant fabric make it ideal for summer weddings or races, where effortless poise is key. The rich green shade pops against neutral tones -think a cream shift dress or our peppermint Serena Circle dress, with metallic accessories for a standout ensemble that transitions seamlessly from day to dusk.

Meanwhile, the Davina jackets in Pale Pink and Pale Blue Cosgrove Crease-Resist Linen offer soft sophistication. These short, versatile layers elevate any outfit with their delicate colours, neat silhouette and smooth, wrinkle-free finish. Style the Pale Pink over a floral skirt and camisole or our pink Serena Cricle dress for a romantic garden party look, or layer the Pale Blue with our Palazzo pants and loafers for a crisp, modern edge.
