You know what we’re coming up on?! April 25th aka the perfect date! “It’s not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket!” I’m hoping that by the time April 25th rolls around all we need really is a light jacket. Fingers crossed!
I’m partnering with Bernardo to share this amazing jacket with you. It’s really perfect for spring (hello April showers), but also for traveling. It doesn’t matter where I’m going, I try to bring a rain jacket with me. They’re the easiest things in the world to pack and even if it doesn’t rain, they can provide an extra layer, especially on a windy day. (I gave this red jacket the ultimate packing test… I shoved it in the bottom of my tote and it came out wrinkle-free. 🙌🏻)
This rain jacket is literally perfect for traveling, too, because it’s REVERSIBLE. One issue I have with coats is that I end up feeling like I’m wearing the same thing every day. This one is great because you can go with either the solid red or the stripes and totally mix up your look.
I wanted to shoot the jacket with a super basic outfit that I would absolutely pack and wear while traveling. A simple cable knit sweater, comfortable jeans, and my go-to white sneaks. What I love is how different the outfit looks with the same jacket, just reversed.
I love how the striped detailing still shows when you’re wearing the solid red side.
There’s a cinched waist and you can adjust it even more with the elastic cords for the perfect fit. And each side has pockets… woooo!
The red serves as a great pop of color, another thing to think about if your travel outfits tend to be more neutral (mine end up being either black or navy based). But if you’re more of a navy girl (I feel ya!), it also comes in a solid navy/navy striped option.

Thank you Bernardo for sponsoring this post!
This jacket is adorable! So perfect for Spring. I also just bought a pair of Supergas and love them. The only problem is that I can’t really keep mine super clean, is there a way you’ve figured out how to keep yours staying white?
Wash them!!! I put them in a pillowcase, toss into the washer, and air dry! I’ve worn mine SO much and they’re honestly kind of falling apart at this point, but I love them!
Light jackets are essential for summer here in Hong Kong! It’s hot and humid but in shopping malls they BLAST the air cons – it’s literally cooler here in summer than in winter, hah! Love the light jacket you’re wearing, it’s cute! 🙂

The sneakers are on sale! I got these a couple years ago when you recommended them and love them. Love the red too! xAllie http://www.theallthatglittersblog.com
I’ve never heard of this brand! Thanks for the intro. You look great!
I love that! I love your jacket, Carly! Perfect colour for Spring, too! Apparently, we’re going to get hotter weather next week so I’m really excited for that!
Have a great Thursday!

omg I’ve been searching for a new raincoat for the last few months and nothing has seemed quite right, but I love that this one is reversible and when it’s the solid color you can see the striped lining. This might be just what I’m looking for!
Cheers,

Love this rain coat! I have a yellow one but have been searching EVERYWHERE for red! Thank you for sharing.
Also quick question: what size is your tote? Large or X-Large?
Thanks Carly!

Thank you!!!
I think I just found my next purchase! Would have been great for my Boston trip, but I’m sure it’ll come handy in CA.
It will never not amuse me that my birthday (April 25) is the so called perfect date.
Ha, right??? I should re-watch that movie. Heh. Aaaaaaaannnnnnnddddddd world peace! Thank you Stan.
I am in love with the fact that this is reversible!
