A good statement jacket can add so much to an outfit, and it’s a piece that’s worth every penny of the investment. Wear it with a classy black jumpsuit and you have a perfect date night outfit; wear it with jeans and a tee and it adds a pop of colour or texture to an otherwise minimal ensemble. Jackets have nudged their way into the forefront of the style realm making a case for the art of layering. If you’ve ever felt like your outfit is missing a little something, it’s most likely the presence of an eye-catching topper. From season to season they can be worn with your favourite getups and they’ll never fail to have you looking your best. Don’t shy away from wearing a bold lip and adding an accessory that plays off one of the jacket’s elements. Wearing an aztec pattern jacket? Add a geometric statement necklace. Sporting a suede fringe jacket? Dropped feather earrings will do the trick.
When you feel like you have nothing to wear, a statement jacket swoops in as your saving grace. Throw it on over any outfit and you’ll be heading out the door looking totally put together. Check out 5 statement jackets that are worth the investment.
