The Return of the Jean Jacket

Good news jean jacket lovers…the denim jacket has returned as a major fashion staple this Spring! You will find a variety of colors and styles of this all-American jacket hitting the racks at stores near you. The trick is to wear your jean jacket a bit snugger and slimmer than you might have worn it in past seasons. Try going down a jacket size or even buying a children/boy size. I personally like to wear denim jackets with some stretch in the fabric, making them more comfortable to wear, especially in the shoulders and arms! Although pretty much any and every color jacket is “in” this season, my favs are dark denim and white jean jackets. This will be a purchase you certainly won’t regret and will wear with practically anything. Don’t be afraid to try pairing your jacket with unexpected items in your wardrobe. The white jean jacket in photo is from Ann Taylor LOFT and is reasonably priced at $59.50. This cute cropped jean jacket is made by Levi’s and is currently on clearance on the Levi’s website for a mere $39.98!

Stylishly yours,

The Trusty Ol’ Cardigan Just Got Better

“The classics are always modern.”
Edward Bulwer-Lytton

I have a slight obsession with V-neck cardigans (or “cardis” as I like to call them) these days. They are a no-brainer way to totally expand your wardrobe since you can layer them over any dress, tee, blouse or camisole. They look great open, belted or buttoned. I think this is one of the most practical pieces for transitioning your wardrobe into spring and to throw in your luggage when you travel over the spring/summer months, to ensure warmth for cool evenings and airplane flights. Luckily, a lot of happily-bright spring colors are hitting the stores this month and the selection of cardigans is plentiful.

I am very impressed by the look, feel and price-point of the Gap’s “New V-neck Cardigan.” Priced at a reasonable $44, this cardigan comes in 16 colors!! I am particularly found of the colors “purple loganberry” (shown above), “calypso” and “studio green.”

Another to try: Old Navy’s “Lightweight Boyfriend Cardigans”, priced at only $29.50. Although this version doesn’t come in a wide array of colors, I love the length and men’s styling. I think I might have to pick up the “Dark Sea Blue” Striped (shown on right) one for myself!! (Remember to check the websites and order online for the best assortment of sizes and colors.)

Stylishly Yours,
