Prim and proper? Not quite! This fall the classic lady jacket is getting a modern makeover, with purposefully shrunken silhouettes emerging as one of the season’s biggest outerwear trends. Naturally, the street style set quickly embraced the look, styling the traditionally feminine staple in fresh ways throughout fashion month.
Vogue’s Favorite Lady Jackets:
We saw it more than once with denim. For example, Vogue’s executive fashion director, Lisa Aiken, gave Kallmeyer’s gilded jacquard jacket a daytime spin with wide-leg blue jeans and black pumps. British Vogue’s Chioma Nnadi, meanwhile, gave a pink lady jacket a maximalist feel by pairing it with a denim midiskirt and lace-up flats. Elsewhere on the streets of Paris, one off-duty model sported a classic black take with straight-leg blue jeans and, for an unexpected touch of luxury, elbow-length leather gloves.
But with jeans isn’t the only way to wear them. Below are five outfit ideas to make it your own, whether you’re heading into the office (hello, new power suits!) or out for drinks downtown.
