Throwing a jacket over your dress can instantly transform your look into a new outfit and style. Think of how a boxer leather jacket draped casually over a spring lacey neutral dress will make others stop and wonder if you incidentally got cold and had that handy or intentionally paired the two to express your own individual style!

If pairing opposite extremes is not your kind of thing, think of how a simple blazer or the oversized boyfriend blazer can add that kind of corporate cool to your worn denim or cute skirt.

Jackets come in different styles and shapes, finding the one to suit your style and shape is important, so once you do, make sure you put it to good use.

You don’t need to stick to the wintery black and browns! A jacket in a pastel color or in a nude beige, taupe or white is an unexpected fresh alternative and will work well with your Spring/Summer wardrobe. Throw it over your dress, jeans and trousers; skirt… anything that you want to transform into edgy smart casual. Add a belt on top if you have the waist to show off and you’re one step ahead.

For men, a blazer in a cool fabric and lighter color will transform a mediocre jean and shirt casual look to a dressy casual chic. Take a look at your wardrobe and experiment with mixing and matching outfits in a new way!
