What do you think of these 3 Key jacket shapes for the coming season?
On the left there is a cute cropped biker jacket. These are absolutely everywhere. I got a great soft fake leather one in New Look and I've actually worn it in Singapore twice since Xmas, and I got quite a few compliments!
If leather is going to be too hot for you then look for unlined jackets with zips, particularly asymmetric zips to be on trend. I wore mine to funk up a smart business dress recently, why don't you try that too!
Do be careful if you are large busted or fuller figured these jackets will need to be in very soft leather or you will add bulk to your curves.
Jacket no 2 is the classic blazer. Tuxedo versions with silk lapels make a great evening option. Wear with skinny jeans and rolled up sleeves to keep it modern and chic. Remember we've seen this trend before and if you wore it the first time round you need to make sure that your hair, make-up and accessories are 2013 or you will look dated instead of sassy. Curvy girls need to look for these jackets with some waist shaping. Jackets with rounded edges at the bottom will be more flattering than ones with straight edges. Best worn to smarten up some jeans, though Zara have a great black sequin one too!
There is a flavour of Japan in the jacket on the right and there is a lot of this type of influence in the shops. Quite difficult to wear the lines are straight and really don't do much for most body types. Best left to the slightly quirky and stick thin this look is very comfortable and androgynous, works well in black and white. Keep the make-up simple and the hair quirky if you want to pull this look off.
All jackets from Zara.
