This is why you can't do without a softshell jacket!

Recognize that feeling? You stand in front of your wardrobe in the morning and sigh deeply. The sun is shining, but that treacherous spring breeze is cold. And oh dear, the rain radar is also predicting some rain later. What are you going to wear now?!

What is the magic of a softshell jacket?

A softshell is simply the perfect jacket for our unpredictable Dutch weather. It's that light, flexible jacket that protects you from wind and rain, but doesn't make you sweat.
It moves with you, lets your skin breathe and looks great too!

Why do I have a softshell jacket hanging on the coat rack?

Honestly? This jacket is definitely a favorite to wear:

Never be disappointed by an unexpected shower again ! Raindrops simply roll off.
No more sweat stains when I'm rushing to get the kids to school on time. Wonderfully breathable!
Freedom of movement to quickly run after my son without my jacket being too tight.
It's also secretly so nice - it completes every outfit, whether I'm dressed sporty or smart.

I wear my softshell quite a lot now: while walking in the park, while shopping in the city (where you never know whether you're inside or outside), and even for drinks on a terrace.
And that print! Yes, I regularly get asked where I got this coat today.

Of course, no coat is perfect, this one also has its drawbacks.

Let's face it: in a downpour you'll really need a real raincoat.
With a softshell jacket, the seams cannot be taped because the inside is made of nice soft fleece material. We've been selling these jackets for years and customers have a lot of fun with them, even in the rain!
And in extreme freezing temperatures, a warmer jacket is welcome.
But for 80% of our Dutch weather? Perfect ;-)

Why you too should wear a softshell jacket!

Seriously, this is the versatile jacket we've all been looking for. The one you can wear every day, that completes your outfit, and protects you without overheating.

My tip? Choose a neutral color for everyday wear or a striking shade/print to brighten up your outfit. I have mine in a super cute floral print—totally on-trend!
