So, the first week of June, which marks the transition to the meteorological summer, brought some fine, dry and warm weather for all areas at times. Indeed one or two locations in the west of Northern Ireland, western Scotland and southern England saw temperatures peak into the mid-twenties through the week, giving the highest temperatures recorded so far in 2013. Some eastern counties did end the week on a rather dull and chilly note though. Indeed, though I found that there was plenty of blue sky and sunshine (hooray!) in Oxford there was also a chilly breeze, which made it necessary to wear a jacket.
The Guardian offers a useful suggestions about ideal summer coats.
Suggestion 1) Go to your nearest High Street shop to find "a car coat", which is slightly A-line and mid-thigh length. Obviously just perfect to drive a car in and to keep your top part of your thighs warm in a cool summer breeze.
Suggestion 2) The biker jacket is still very much "on trend" this summer. But it is questioned whether this clunky garment looks good on anyone other than bikers and whether its popularity has taken away its rebellious edge?!
Suggestion 3) The denim jacket has been welcomed back into the "on trend" s/s wardrobe. Is it the perfect accompaniment to the summer dress?!
The bomber and the varsity jacket are also suggested as being "totally in", but that a coat with the hood would perhaps be the most useful of all jackets especially with the monthly weather forecast having a rather unsettled theme.
