Summer is officially here! We all associate the season with tank tops, swimsuits, shorts and mini dresses, but let’s not forget — summer mornings and nights can become quite chilly!
You don’t want to be stuck outside in the biting breeze without a summer cardigan at the ready. Same goes for cafés or offices with the air conditioner set to 50 degrees. Make sure to carry along one of these lightweight, layerable finds with you at all times!
