Let’s calculate the circumstances in which we choose jackets. In our wardrobe, they are present as an eternal attribute of office clothes; as outerwear in late spring or early autumn; as one of the elements of a winter layered look and as a laconic addition to a more relaxed cocktail dress. A trendy jacket is an element that can be easily adapted to your outfits depending on the environment, season and style.
So, what are the styles of women’s jackets, which one is best to choose and what to wear a jacket with? We’ve rounded up answers that cover everything from oversized blazers to double-breasted jackets, faux leather blazers, and sophisticated belted jackets. Therefore, here are some useful tips when choosing a jacket for a basic wardrobe.
OVERSIZE BLAZERS ADD A TOUCH OF STREET RETRO FASHION
Oversize jackets are an integral part of streetwear. When it comes to loose-fitting jackets and streetwear, an oversize jacket made of eco leather, suiting fabric or wool is the perfect complement to light-colored loose-fitting jeans and a printed T-shirt. These jackets are also good for a winter look with banana trousers and knee-highs, or on their own with a belt at the waist for a more androgynous street style look.
CROPPED JACKETS CREATE A MODERN LOOK
If you like to personalize the classics, a cropped blazer is perfect for more formal looks. This style of jacket allows you to express yourself with an unusual design and color schemes. Cropped blazers are perfect for more feminine styles, and we especially love pairing them with high-waisted pencil skirts! If you want to emphasize the hips, cropped jackets are just right for ladies with luxurious curves.
CLASSIC JACKETS
A regular fit suiting jacket is definitely the most traditional and professional-friendly look. If you like a more classic style, look for straight or fitted jacket models. In combination with your favorite turtleneck and jeans, you will get a casual look, and a more strict look can be achieved by combining a classic jacket with straight trousers and a tucked-in silk blouse. Classic black blazers are very popular among most women as they are considered timeless rather than trendy.
TEXTURES AND MATERIALS OF THE WOMEN’S JACKET
The types of women’s jackets include models not only of all shapes and sizes, but also of various textures! Corduroy, for example, is a classic vintage material. It suits any style of clothing and can add a retro vibe to the chosen outfit. A corduroy blazer is the perfect middle ground between a statement-making and a traditional look.
Tweed is eco-friendly and always stylish: tweed jackets often come in custom colors and patterns, making them a more eye-catching fabric than corduroy.
Polyester and wool are the two most common jacket fabrics. Many classic jackets use a mixture of these two fabrics, but make sure the fabric doesn’t irritate your skin!
