The jacket is becoming more important in spring thanks to Mother Nature's inability to provide weather in predictable patterns. That means consumers are often scrambling for lighter outerwear and top layers well into may when some cities are still experiencing snow! Well, this season's runways yielded great light jackets and top layers for boys from the tunnel waist anorak silo to the many biker inspired bodies.

And for those of you who haven't tackled vests, the denim versions is still a strong body. Windbreakers are a must for anyone who does outerwear or if you only do fleece, then try a fleece version of this important silo and call it a popover!
