Giovanna Fletcher knows that, like many of us, when it comes to summer jacket options, the denim jacket will always reign supreme. But while traditionally the jacket comes in a range of blue hues, as with dopamine denim jeans, the lightweight outerwear has gained a bit of a revamp this season.
Sitting on the Lorraine sofa last week, Giovanna wore a pretty floral maxi dress, finished with a sugary pink denim jacket, and it's the perfect way to add trending sorbet shades to your wardrobe this season.
Opting for a classic jacket in a brighter hue or pastel shade will add a modern spin to your looks while still being very wearable. Wearing a pink denim jacket from Whistles, while the silhouette is casual, the pink added a soft and feminine spin. Her exact jacket has sold out, but I've tracked down some perfectly pink buys that will work over everything from dresses to teaming with classic true blue jeans below.

The latest drop from FatFace has been a firm favourite with the whole woman&home fashion team recently, and this pretty jacket is one of the best from the range.
This one is a total classic and will see you through summer in style. Not sure on pink? There are a whopping 19 other wearable shades to choose from.
If you prefer fitted silhouettes, try this one that has an adjustable drawstring at the waist to pull you in and fit snuggly to your shape.
This classic cover-up has a slightly shorter length, which will sit particularly well with your high-waisted jeans or an A-line skirt.
An oversized fit gives this supermarket piece a relaxed spin that will add a cool girl edge to a floaty dress for a busy weekend.
This lightweight, boxy number can be thrown over everything from a fitted vest to an oversized shirt for some easy peasy layering.
The beauty of a classic denim jacket is how versatile it is, and there is no reason why a pink iteration of the summer staple can't be just as easy to wear.
A soft pastel hue will buddy up beautifully with everything from florals and stripes to block colours and other sugary hues, and will bring a slightly softer and pretty spin to your outfit, than a deep navy or acid wash cover-up.
If pink isn't for you though, try a warm shade of yellow as it is one of the biggest spring/summer fashion colour trends of 2026 and will bring the sunshine even when the Great British weather lets your down.
