light jacket

Thin outer garment

A light jacket is an outer garment made of thin or lightweight material, suitable for mild weather or cool evenings rather than serious cold.

The term distinguishes from heavier coats and parkas: Bring a light jacket—it might get chilly after sunset.

Common types include windbreakers, denim jackets, and unlined blazers.
