Never underestimate how fickle spring weather can be. One day it can be sunny and 60 degrees, the next it's pouring rain and barely hitting the top 40s. So you need to be prepared. Masters at stylishly dressing for any eventuality, the street style set has a solution for battling the season's unpredictable climate. Wearing technical jackets as tops.
When you really think about it, it totally makes sense. The jackets are designed to perform in any condition, from cold temperatures to wet weather. Normally, people sport them on top of something else. Like a shirt or a dress. Although sometimes all those extra layers can trigger sweating when it's decently warm out. Plus, this "outerwear" category, which includes windbreakers, track jackets, parkas and utility silhouettes, features pieces designed to stand out. Hence all of the cool colors and patterns.
