Your 5 Essential Jackets

Now officially into our second -BER month, we expect a "little" chill in our weather and we're excited to showcase our layering styles again. Now in here, I discussed the appropriate footwear for the upcoming rainy/ fall season but for this post we're talking about jackets. Sure, bomber jackets (this one here is a cutie) is a trend these days with avid fans like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner but I'm here to discuss the very basic of jackets that you must own. Reference post here.

1. Blazer Jacket. I'll start from the very basic in an office setting and we're talking about blazers. Sure, I do have the black one but it's become so boring that I do recommend a red one in the workplace. Red connotes power and attention. Go get a red one. :P

2. Trench Jacket. It's sleek and classic silhouette elevated it to a worldwide icon and we have Burberry to thank for that. Camel and beige would have to be the best color for this.

3. Denim Jacket. As versatile as it's bottom counterpart, a denim jacket becomes basic in the sense that it can almost be paired with anything.

4. Moto Jacket. Because cool chic needs to toughen up their look sometimes. :P And they should rock it like a boss!

5. A Statement Jacket. I do get it, that duster leopard coat that I can just easily throw over my LBD for drama? Yes, I want that too. But while I'm still waiting for a good chance to purchase it (aka a super mega sale item, haha!), I will recommend a printed blazer in nautical theme. You'll get more wear in this since nautical look is trendy since forever. :P

Spring Essentials

In this post, we talked about the items that you need to get rid of for spring. But what to replace them with? Well, here's what.

I have intentionally missed out one item from the list of four previously to give way for a separate post soon. Stay tuned for that. 

Denim Jackets. As a recap, it's time to free up your closet space from heavy coats and replace them with denim jackets.

Denim Jacket: Mango; Dress: Dorothy Perkins; Shoes: Adidas

Lightweight sweaters. They should replace your chunky knits and turtlenecks. Fun fact: I've been looking forever for long cardigans like this and I didn't know that I can only find them in...... 

my brother's closet. Hahaha! Ssssshhh!

Cardigan/ Pants: H&M; Top: Topman; Shoes: Miss Selfridge

Silk scarves. I'm forever a huge fan of blanket scarves but it's time to give way for silk scarves. Pick something in color that would pop such as red! ;)
