What do we think of first when we hear the word “jacket”? I bet that many of you still see the picture of a black classic blazer with lapels in your head. However, there are a lot of jackets in terms of styles, colors, textures and materials. The looks with a women’s jacket are present in a business, romantic, and informal style; jackets are often one of the main elements in casual and smart casual looks. Therefore, today we will figure out which women’s jackets are trending now, what they are best combined with, how to choose a trendy color and running model.
TRENDY DESIGN FEATURES
This year, you should immediately pay attention to the fact that freedom is in fashion: avoid narrow fitted or tailored jackets. Silhouettes with air are trending now; the most versatile option for your looks will be a straight jacket made of suiting fabric or wool, especially double-breasted one. If you love oversize, this is the time for it this autumn: pair this jacket with wide jeans, ankle boots or rough boots and a basic tee for a casual and stylish look.
POPULAR LENGTH
Trendy women’s jackets jump from one extreme to another in terms of length: there are either ultra-short options to the waist, or elongated models to the top or even mid-thigh. The classic length is still inferior to these two variations. In the case of a short jacket, I recommend choosing matching trousers or a skirt and wearing it as a suit (however, versatility in this case is unlikely to be achievable). But an elongated jacket is suitable for everything: puff flying maxi dresses with a print, classic trousers with crease, elegant palazzo trousers, an eco leather mini skirt, jeans, straight dresses and a lot of other options.
PRINTS AND PATTERNS
A printed jacket is an original choice that is more likely to become a supplement to the basic wardrobe and a seasonal decoration of the capsule. Pay attention to jackets with watercolor patterns, graffiti or inscriptions. Well, as for the lovers of the classics, I inform you that colored suiting jackets with rare and thin stripes are still in trend this season.
LAPELS AND BUTTONS
Another stylistic taboo for the upcoming seasons is rounded lapels: only clear lines and sharp corners, otherwise choose a cape jacket without lapels at all. Single and double lapels with a triangular edge of medium width are trending in general, they are the golden standard. They look great on jackets of any style and emphasize the long neck with the V-neckline.
As for the buttons, you can find both single-breasted and double-breasted jackets, as well as jackets with one button in the center in the collections of the autumn-winter 22/23. In more sophisticated models, the buttons are covered with the same fabric, which the jacket is sewn from: this feature will be very attractive for those who like to care for even the smallest details.
