Jackets Of The Year

What are the five types of jackets you must own this year?  Reine Gammo shares the details.
Jackets are quite underrated.  It used to be all about the embellished top, the silky print dress, the amazing mini-skirt, but never has the spotlight been solely on the jacket.  That’s all about to change.  You can be wearing a basic t-shirt, a pair of jeans and look unremarkable, but add a jacket and you’ve got a completely different look.  The jacket is this season’s must have, for everything and everywhere.

The Suit Jacket

The suit jacket is crisp, tailored and polished.  It is professional looking and can get you that promotion you’ve been waiting for.  It’s a staple in office attire and can add a respectable air to almost any look.  Pair it with dress pants, shorts, jeans or a mini-skirt and you’ll have a hit on your hands.  Go for neutral colours for the most impact, with a little detail, but nothing too overwhelming.  It must remain simple—maybe a little hint of shoulder pads, hidden buttons, shoulder embellishments or detailed pockets.  It should be slim fitting and best to suit lots of different looks.

Embellished Military Jackets

The military never looked this stylish.  Everyone from Balmain to John Galliano has added their spin on the essential military jacket.  It’s been embellished with anything and everything you can think of and has been styled in so many different ways it’s hard to choose what looks best.  Some basic things are constant:  the strong shoulder, the double breast and the shiny embellishments.  With anything from crystal decorations to brooches to shiny fabric, you can pick whatever you want.  If you find yourself craving creativity and want to add your name to the designer list, get a basic military style jacket and add your own embellishments.  That way you can create exactly what suits your own personality and style.  Add regular pin buttons, brooches and statement pieces or sew things on to fit your heart’s desire.  This is a piece that can be easily worn anywhere and at any time.  You’ll never go anywhere without it.
