Layer Up (Lightly) – Best Men’s Lightweight Summer Jackets in 2025

Clean Your Summer Jacket?

The short answer: Not very often.

That means you can go several wears—sometimes the whole season—without needing a full wash. Spot clean as needed and air them out after each wear. Hang it on a proper jacket hanger to preserve the shape and give it space to breathe.
