Style Your Wardrobe: Trend Alert - The Feminine Jacket

The name of this trend kind of makes me giggle - "The Feminine Jacket". I'm not sure there are many women out there who want to wear a "Masculine Jacket", do you? It is also referred to as the "Lady like Jacket". For the love of everything - can we just call it a jacket?!

So anyway - I've seen this trend pop up a few times online and in magazines and I sort of brushed over it. I really do love it though. A jacket is a very versatile item of clothing to own. It can instantly dress up a basic tee or button down. It looks great with a skirt and you can dress it down with a pair of jeans. Of course you can't mention a "lady like" jacket and not give credit to the great Coco Chanel who practically invented the classic tweed jacket. It is timeless and also a million dollars if you ever are inclined to buy one.

My inspiration for this blog post came last week while shopping with my girlfriend. I was flipping through a magazine while she was trying on clothes and fell in LOVE with the outfit. Of course I can't find the picture to put on my blog so I'm recreating it for you.

I am assuming you have bought a stripe tee by now. If so, you can layer it under a tweed jacket with your favorite pair of jeans or even a pair of bermuda shorts. I'm sure I am getting some looks right about now, but yes, you can wear a jacket with shorts - trust me.
