Wardrobe Essential: Cropped Jacket



What a refreshing little piece to add to your wardrobe that will give you miles of wear: the cropped jacket.

Why I love a cropped jacket: it's the perfect classically simple layering piece.

Waist length, 3/4 sleeves and single row button closure makes this particular style a worthy addition to your closet.

Giving you a bit of warmth over a sundress, layered over a long sleeve tee or paired with your suiting pieces for dressed down look the options are endless.

  • Single breasted styles are often more flattering cuts than double breasted styles. Typically with a cropped jacket the buttons are left undone and a single row lays best along the side of the body and won't create a swingy look.

  • Cotton blend: always stick with cotton blends when purchasing cardigans or casual jackets. Fabrics will last longer and hold their shape whilst giving some stretch for a streamline fit.

  • Classic Black is always a wise wardrobe essential choice. However, if you are more a brown or neutral wearer select a similar style in khaki or stone.

Layer over tanks, sundresses, suiting, tees, blouses...it will be your go to piece to define your outfit and your waist.

Don't shy from putting 3/4 sleeves over long sleeves just simply pull out the longer length for an elegant layer...very chic!

So when your outfit needs something...toss on your cropped jacket and go from basic to suddenly well put together and fabulously stylish!
