As with purses, tops, dresses, shoes, and many other fashion items, not all jackets are created equal. Meaning the one you wear to work every day or the one you wear on your way to and from the gym might not be the same one you want to throw over a dress you're wearing to a holiday party… The good news, however, is that you can technically use this as an excuse to add more outerwear to your wardrobe.
As you can guess, this makes me quite happy and I have a feeling most of you are with me. And whether you’re looking for a statement jacket to spice up your go-to LBD, need something simple to pair with all the party dresses you recently purchased, or of course, both, today I’ve got you covered.
