No matter how strong the desire to quickly give up several layers of clothing, the beginning of April is not yet the best time for this. However, when the temperature is above zero during the day and it's hot in the sun in a jacket, there is an alternative solution that fashion influencers are leaning towards right now. These are sleeveless jackets – quilted, plush, fleece.

A sleeveless jacket is the thing that works universally in demi-season looks, you just have to choose a model that fits your style. As outerwear, sleeveless jackets were used back in the Middle Ages: the absence of sleeves and an insulated body provided workers with freedom of movement and better thermoregulation. The sleeveless jacket as outerwear returned to fashion in the 20th century. Now, in 2026, fashionistas are integrating it into spring looks as an alternative to bomber jackets, trench coats, leather jackets, and coats.

In urban fashion, loose sleeveless versions that resemble a liner jacket in silhouette are relevant. This outerwear can already be worn on especially warm days, showing off lower layers, such as architectural sleeves or bright prints. Or simply adding a warm and stylish element over a basic T-shirt or long-sleeve.

Current trends encourage you to give preference to rich and bright colors, such as pink and red, or shades of milky white and floral prints. Choose the material of the tank top for practical reasons: Teddy models will meet expectations in dry weather, but if your city is dominated by humid days, you will feel more comfortable in quilted versions made of nylon or raincoat fabric.
