Shop smarter: Why you need to buy a fitted jacket

October 5th // 1 Comment

For spring, it’s all about a curve-hugging jacket with a small shoulder. The sharp, streamlined silhouette slims you down and creates a womanly, hourglass shape. Meanwhile, the narrow, high-set sleeve creates the illusion of definition in your upper arms. It’s one of those life-enhancing purchases that make everything else in your wardrobe work harder: It pulls together a jeans-and-t-shirt look, anchors a floaty dress, and even takes a pencil skirt in an edgy-yet-office-appropriate direction. Net-a-porter, J.Crew and Macy’s all offer a great selection of small-shouldered jackets. Here’s my current obsession by illia, straight from Bloomingdale’s.

With his fresh take on draping and fabulous military-inspired pieces, Burberry designer Christopher Bailey’s collection is high on our radar for spring. Every fashion editor at his London runway show fell in love with this glamorous beige, belted trench.

Note the heels-with-slouchy-socks pairing — another major trend.
