TOP 5 JACKETS FOR EVERY WARDROBE

No matter the season, coats and jackets are fashion necessities for women. Not only do they keep you warmer when temperatures drop, but they also round out an outfit. In addition, a jacket or a coat can provide the coverage you need when your outfit isn’t quite working, or when you just can’t be bothered sorting an outfit out at all. So, let’s run through the top 5 quintessential coats and jackets for every wardrobe!

The denim jacket

Who would have thought a jacket designed by Levi Strauss in 1880 for blue-collar workers would become one of the most iconic womens jackets in fashion history? Worn by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Madonna, and popular amongst punks and rockstars alike, the denim jacket has become synonymous with counter-culture movements and has provided the perfect blank canvas for fashion expression for decades. Denim can be dyed, cut, distressed, bleached and even graffitied. So are you ready to rebel and make a denim jacket part of your wardrobe?

This hooded denim jacket from Femme Connection is perfect for that secret warehouse party. It has a relaxed fit, with a detachable hood in jersey fabric to keep your head and neck cosy. Wear it with your fave jeans and sneakers for the ultimate urban look.

How about getting the best of both worlds with this reversible floral print denim jacket? (Girl next door on one side, rebel-without-a-cause on the other!)

This long sleeve denim jacket is the perfect palette to express your rebellion. Add badges, bedazzle it, make it your own! (Or, just leave it as is and match it with a hot graphic tee and boho print scarf.)

The blazer

A well-fitted blazer is a must for any wardrobe. It works for both formal and casual occasions. Wear it to work over a blouse and pencil skirt, to brunch with a maxi dress, and pretty much anywhere else with a pair of jeans or joggers. The blazer works with most things, and will elevate any outfit to sophisticated, smart, and dare we say, sexy?

Take this leopard blazer for example. It combines party-animal and studious vibes in one. Pair it with a rib knit midi dress for work and you’ll certainly stand out at that networking event. Wear it with vegan leather pants and a sequin top to a bar, and heads will turn. This blazer will look great with stilettos and sneakers alike.

How about this double breasted check blazer. It would look just perfect at your work desk, but also great at the winery with your pals. Pair it with a ribbed knit jumper or polo neck ribbed knit jumper, skinny leg denim pants and ankle boots.

The vegan leather jacket

Nothing says cool quite like a leather jacket. These days, you can choose vegan and do no harm to animals, without losing that quality look.

This vegan leather biker jacket in black and red is sizzling!

If you want to look a little less biker, but still supremely cool, this frill vegan leather jacket in black, dusky pink or stone, is a great option. Wear it with jeans, black pants, or a fluted knit midi skirt.

Just squeezing in under the ‘leather’ jacket category is this vegan suede coat. Pair it with our basic polo neck rib knit jumper, skinny ripped jeans and heels, and you have one very classy outfit.

The trench coat

Entering women’s fashion after World War II, trench coats have become a staple wardrobe item for women. They’re lightweight, usually mildly shower-proof, and have stylish features like wide lapels, large pockets, and military details. Popularised by movie stars of the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, and Brigitte Bardot, they maintain ongoing status as strong and sophisticated coats for women. Of all the women’s coats, a trench coat has the ability to make you look instantly European, and is the perfect garment for your trip to the airport, commute to work, or stroll with your poodle.

This solid trench coat in camel or black mixes practicality with mystery. Headed to the office? Or to your job as an international spy?! A polo neck jumper will look perfect with this trench. Add a vegan leather skirt with slit or run around legging and knee-high boots. Ooh la la!

This wide collar trench coat has the essential charms of the trench, but with a hint of cigar coat. It’s soft, verging on cosy, and would look beautiful over a long sleeve rib knit dress and ankle boots.

The puffer jacket

Nothing cheers you up in winter like a puffer jacket. It not only serves the practical purpose of keeping you very warm, but also looks super cute.

When you’re headed outdoors, you can throw your puffer over pretty much anything and look fabulous. Here are some of our favourite puffers.

This iridescent puffer jacket comes in a range of colours and is perfect for that night out at the ice-rink, or to get you to and from that party. Hey, it’s so colourful it would look great on the dance floor too, (though it might be hot!)

Now, can a puffer jacket look foxy? You bet it can! With a nod to the biker jacket, this black cropped puffer jacket will keep you feeling warm and looking stylish in tandem.

These next puffers are just downright super cute. First, we have this very marshmallowy high neck quilted puffer jacket. Watch out! People will cuddle you!

And then to keep your booty a little warmer, this long puffer coat in emerald and burgundy is rather fetching indeed. Layer over a light-weight knit, denim jeans and sneakers for casual winter days.
