What does a jacket say? First and foremost, it gives the wearer an air of authority and takes the viewers eye to the top of the body. A jacket provides protection against the elements - those suddenly cooler temperatures and air-conditioning. And a jacket gives the wearer a “finished” look, no matter how casual the outfit.
Here are 6 basic jacket styles that work all year round, season after season.
Denim
Leather
Tailored
Classic With Colour
Short Trench
The Statement Piece
The Denim Jacket - the ultimate casual look.
The Biker Jacket in classic black or burgundy. Leather of Faux - take your pick.
You’ll get plenty of use from a Tailored Jacket if you don’t let it get too serious. Add jeans, cropped pants and some jewellery to keep the fashion dialogue fun!
Wearing a Classically Tailored Jacket in a beautiful colour breaks down the formality of the garment, giving the look a more contemporary feel.
The Short Trench is a casual staple. Sand, Black or French Navy looks great over just about anything. Wear a trench in a Snake or Leopard Print to up the ante.
And finally, The Statement Jacket. Add a touch of glamour, day or night, with some Fur or Sequins.
This is one item in your wardrobe you can get a lot of fashion milage out of. I’ve found some great statement jackets over the years. In most cases, all you need is a black outfit underneath and away you go. Let the jacket do the talking. And the best accessory with this jacket? Has to be a glass of champagne, doesn’t it?
Enjoy your creative life, Jules
