Trending this Spring: The Windbreaker
I have noticed the windbreaker is making a comeback this spring, and not notably in many of the trendy stores. So I thought it’d be fun to take a look at Reformation’s windbreaker the Lennon jacket.
This jacket is designed to be a little bit of a relaxed fit, so I took my true size in a medium, and as you can see, it fits a little bit baggy. If you wanted more of a fitted, feel you could size down, but I do think it is intended to look relaxed. You can also cinch the waist to be as tight as you need.
This jacket retails for $248 at Reformation and comes in multiple different colors. It is very expensive, but I can’t appreciate that it’s almost 100% cotton.
A few detail details I love about this jacket are the high neck, the functional button buttons the cinched waist and the design of the fit. You can wear it with the waist tide and cinched or unbuttoned and opened.
I personally love the windbreaker trend and specifically this jacket gets a 10 out of 10 for me. I would 100% add this piece to my closet!!
Are we loving the windbreaker trend or are we hating it? What’s the pulse?! #lemon8partner #windbreakerjacket
Okay, so you've seen my initial thoughts on the Reformation Lennon Jacket, but let's really dive deeper into why this piece has become my go-to for spring! When I first tried on that gorgeous light yellow windbreaker, I immediately loved the vibe. It’s not just a trend; it's genuinely comfortable and super versatile. One thing I absolutely have to gush about is the material. The original article mentions it's almost 100% cotton, but after checking the label (and the OCR confirms!), it's specifically 97% organically grown cotton and 3% elastane. This blend is a game-changer! It means you get the breathability and natural feel of cotton, which is perfect for those unpredictable spring days when it's cool in the morning and warmer by afternoon. But that 3% elastane? That's where the magic happens for comfort and movement. It gives the jacket just enough stretch so it never feels restrictive, even with its intentionally relaxed fit. I've worn it for everything from a quick coffee run to a longer walk in the park, and it moves with you beautifully. Plus, knowing it's organic cotton makes me feel good about the purchase – a win for both style and sustainability! Let's talk more about styling, because this jacket is a chameleon! While an easy mirror selfie with jeans (like mine!) is a classic, I've found so many ways to incorporate it into my daily outfits. For a casual weekend look, I love pairing it with biker shorts and a cropped tank – the oversized top balances the sleekness of the shorts. If I want to elevate it slightly, I'll layer it over a slip dress with chunky sneakers for a cool, urban vibe. The high neckline adds a chic, almost utilitarian touch, which looks great zipped all the way up for a more structured feel, or left open to show off a cute top underneath. And those functional button front closure details are not just for show; they add to its versatility. You can wear it completely open like a light cardigan, or buttoned up for more warmth. Regarding sizing and fit, my advice remains to stick with your true size if you want that intentional, effortlessly cool oversized look, just like I did with my medium. The article points out you can cinch the waist, and that visible drawstring is fantastic! It really lets you play with the silhouette. You can have it completely loose and boxy, or pull that drawstring tight to create a more fitted waist and define your shape, which is amazing for pairing with high-waisted pants or skirts. Don't be afraid of the relaxed fit; it's what makes it so comfortable and on-trend. If you prefer a truly snug fit, then yes, sizing down might work, but you risk losing some of that relaxed charm. Finally, a quick note on care: because it's mostly cotton, I treat mine gently. A cold wash on a delicate cycle and then air drying helps maintain its shape and color. It's an investment piece, but with proper care, I can tell this Lennon Jacket will be a staple in my wardrobe for many springs to come. It’s truly a 10/10 from me, and I hope these extra insights help you decide if it’s the right windbreaker for your spring collection!
