THE FORECAST: Clear but slightly windy spring evening. 12°C

THE OCCASION: Late-evening gym session

THE JACKET: Lightweight quilted down jacket 

When worn on its own, this jacket has a sporty, downtown vibe. It's my favourite for walking to and from the gym because it's virtually weightless, yet warm enough to keep tired muscles from cramping up. Bright, neon colours play up the athletic angle and break up all the black.
