We Love...The Summer Jacket

23 May 2011

At this time of year, when the weather is neither friend or foe, British women up and down the country are in search of the perfect look. One that says 'summer is near,' without anticipating a heat wave and instead left blue with cold.

The stylish summer jacket is the perfect solution to keeping warm, ready for the season and bang on trend. The beauty of this garmet is that, besides the bargains that are to be found, there is more than one style and design meaning no matter your shape you will look fabulous.

The denim jacket is an old favourite at this unpredictable time of the year, when you need to sling something on or off at a moments notice (or the sight of an eminent rain cloud). The maxi dress and denim jacket combination is the perfect way to start any summer wardrobe. The length of the dress keeps legs covered for any unexpected breeze, but embraces the new season. Top this off with a casual, cut-off denim jacket and you have the perfect look. Ladies, the denim jacket is a must have this summer; its versatility keeps your bank account happy and your fashion thirst satisfied.

If you're feeling a little bit more adventurous then perhaps have a wander down the prints and patterns route that are brightening up blazers this year. There is anything a girl could possibly want, from polka dots to flower power, if you want to inject a little personality into a dated outfit then this is definitely the trend for you. Team this jacket (either tailor- or straight-cut) with a pair of neutral, high-waist, cropped tousers and a plain white/cream blouse and you have an outfit fit for anything the spring/summer elements may throw at you.

Finally, if you're not feeling denim and not down with the dots there is an options equally as stylish that might just be your thing. For any casual, summer look there is nothing that says on trend more than a neutral, boxy blazer to complete any cute knee-cut, pencil denim skirt or skinny jeans ensemble. This is changeable no matter shape or size - just add either a satin blouse or baggy tee-shirt on top and some cutey dolly shoes and you'll look and feel like you've just stepped out into summer.
