Curate the Perfect Closet with these 5 Jackets

Building the perfect wardrobe can seem like an exercise in futility. Keeping up with the never ending cycle of IT bags, shoe fads and evolving outerwear can leave your closet — and bank account — seriously lacking. Stop chasing the elusive catwalk styles that never stick around and start investing in pieces that will a last lifetime by curating a collection of jackets that will be the cornerstone of your closet.

Whether you are wearing your coat as practical protection from the elements or to pull together the perfect look, we’ve got the five styles you need to complete your collection.

Bouclé Jacket

The bouclé is a boxy jacket that drips with sophistication. Choose one in tweed and channel your inner Jackie O for a look that is oh, so ladylike. Update this retro outerwear with a casual t-shirt tucked into a structured pencil pant. Pair it with a petite pump for sweet but sultry sex appeal.

Denim Jacket

For a garment that gets better with age, a timeless denim jacket looks great with a little wear and tear. Invest in a high-quality denim that is stiff and crisp and break it in yourself. As the color fades, the natural distressing will give your jacket a unique look that will only get better with every passing year.

Leather Jacket

The classically cool leather jacket is a statement piece that should be in every woman’s wardrobe.  Choose one with a classic shape and moto-centric details for a coat that will never go out of style. Wear it with a chic mini dress for instant edge or style it with jeans and a t-shirt for a nonchalant look with attitude.

Varsity Jacket

Graduated from high school staple to street style stardom, the varsity jacket is the ideal any weather outerwear. Wear it preppy with a short skirt and scarf for a sweet look that plays on proportions. Style it like a sport-lux superstar with a tight crop top and track suit bottoms.

Military Jacket

No closet is complete without a salute to this utilitarian style. Sailor inspired buttons look sophisticated on a navy blue pea coat. Pair it with a wide legged pant for a look that goes from the high seas to the high street. Go for an army green jacket to wear with anything from girly dresses to skinny jeans.

Drape yourself in a jacket that’ll endure for more than one season. With these five jackets, you’ll always have a timeless topper for any ensemble.
