Besides the leather moto jackets which are very expensive, all those options are fugly and mumsy

And yet they're obviously designed for very young women.

Wut? You all seriously don't know about lightweight jacket and coats?

This is making me laugh a little. Jean jacket, sweatshirt, trench, rain jacket...

Lol, same. I am so perplexed that people don't know how to dress themselves. A fleece zip up works well. My winter coat even has a quilted layer that you can unzip and wear by itself. This is not a hard "problem" to solve.

Here are some examples to help you, PP.

I’m the opposite: I hate fall because I know it means that winter is next. I hate the biting cold winds and having to wear layers of heavy clothes every day. I am so much happier in weather where I can wear shorts and cute skirts every day.

Same here! I absolutely loathe fall. I hate hate September and October and what they lead to. I am so much happier in shorts, dresses and sandals.

My DH jokes that I hate fall so much that soon winter will be my favorite because it's the farthest away from fall.

Yep. I hate the grey and gloom and cold and wet and snow and ice -- all of it. Can't wait to leave this area.

Ha- it's probably because I grew up somewhere that was colder, snowier, and all around gloomier, but this weekend I was thinking, wow, winter is over already! My parents probably have another 6 weeks of it. Not a fan of the ice events we get here but otherwise I'm another one who dreads the summer, as much as I truly like spring weather. Last year was such a nice spring because it didn't get too hot too fast.

I have a Kelly green trench coat I used to save for rainy days and then decided it was the right weight for much of spring, so I wear it rain or shine, all spring long, which is usually March into April.

I agree that switching from a winter wardrobe to a spring wardrobe sucks. Mainly because everything I dig out of my closet is either ugly (I can't believe I kept this instead of tossing it last year!) or ill-fitting (always wait too late to work on a bikini body, even though I haven't had a bikini body in 20 years). And then shopping is depressing, because everything in stores is either ugly or ill-fitting. By the time I get into a good fashion groove, it's summer and then it's impossible to dress both comfortably for heat & humidity and appropriately for work.

I wish I lived someplace with one season (and thus one wardrobe) year round. I don't even care what that season is, just so long as getting dressed each day is easy.

This is hilarious, thank you for sharing.

I like spring here because it's actually warm and pleasant a month or more ahead of where I used to live further north. But summer is the worst. And dressing for work in summer stinks because I get so hot commuting by bike or metro, but the office is freezing. I don't want to carry sweaters! Ugh!

Too bad, I love spring. I have a pink coat and a yellow coat, both light and perfect for spring.

Vests are good for spring. Keeps your core warm while allowing ventilation to keep you from overheating. I have a windblocking vest from patagonia that is essential in transitional seasons. I usually layer over a heavierweight sweater.

Spring coat or dress in layers and have a wrap handy.

Here’s the thing: it’s not spring yet. Give it a couple weeks.

I agree OP. I have spring coats. The are cute, but never warm enough and warmer coats look too wintery.

Then the shoes...spring is all wet ground, muddy grass, dirty slugs all over from the melting snow. Then it is 65 degrees one day and then 35 the next. Yes I dislike spring dressing too
