EVERY week I find myself making some mention of the weather.

But in this country, and this rainy region in particular, it's almost impossible to avoid it. In fact it's all we seem to talk about at work, with friends or family.

And these days you don't even need to go out to do it, thanks to our smart phone weather apps.

So it's that time of year again when us women stare hopelessly into our wardrobes in the hope that something not too cold and not too hot will jump out at us.

But we need to make this happen ourselves! And the answer to our troubles? A spring jacket.

Next have a fitted jersey red, white and black biker jacket at £48.

This is more of a statement jacket so where it with block colours - the same red, white, black or grey.

Perfect with a plain t-shirt and jeans, you can dress this one up with heels or down with flats.

The same goes for New Look’s simple but smart blue striped blazer at £22.99. Achieve a casual and sophisticated look by teaming it with a white tee, jeans and sandals.

You’d be hard pushed not to spot a celeb wearing almost the same thing leaving Starbucks at this time of year in the magazines.

A great go-to jacket, Rachel Bilson and Kim Kardashian have both been seen donning spring-suitable jackets this week, so why not join in too?
