Wardrobe Update: The Transitional Jacket
It’s that time of year when the weather can’t make up its mind and inevitably segueing between temperatures means you’re either too hot or too cold. But this is outerwears time to shine; enter the cover-up that will see you through bad climes and good.
Typically a trench coat or a bomber are the no-brainers in this scenario, but the quilted jacket has fast established itself as one of the most versatile items in our closets. The standout choice? BODE’s Daisy iteration is a fashion-forward refresh on the now signature piece and simply screams spring with its sunshine yellow hue. The boxy cut is flattering and its multiple pockets make it endlessly practical. But how to style between seasons? The answer is clever layering.
For a look that ticks all the temperamental boxes, pair with pieces you can peel on and off like a staple tee and cosy knit combo or a t-shirt under a tailored shirt.
When it comes to everyday dressing, denim is a fail-safe choice and the cornerstone of every great closet - opt for a straight-leg jean (see Y/Project) and pair with a heavy tread shoe like Eytys’ Chelsea boots for rain-ready flair.
Visvim’s tailored trousers perfectly espouse structure and ease for more elevated off-duty dressing and Lemaire’s Croissant shoulder bag or Bottega Veneta’s cat-eye shades will add a fashion-forward finish.
