Statement Jackets are a great way to add
Personal Styleto your wardrobe.They are big building blocks in my wardrobe.
They can mot only keep you warm when need bethey can double the impact of your outfitrevealinga different outfit underneath.
They always can help Make a Great Entrance!
Statement Jackets
well boughtcan be investment piecesthat serve yourwardrobe and personal style for years.
My vintage leopard has been with me for yearsand I recently passed it down to my darling daughter.
As has this fabulous vintage menswear coatthat was the very first vintage pieceI bought clear back in 1979.
I love it even more these days!
Another one of my very jacketsis also vintage.
Every time I wear it(which isn't often unless I'm traveling since I live in Southern California)it feels like a cozy hug.
My gray wool cape has also been with me for years.It was originally my mother's.She made it for herself clear back in the 70's.
See what I mean about Statement Jacketshaving
Wardrobe Staying Powerand Endless Styling Options!

This statement jacket gets it's panache form the sleeve detail!
I love a jacket draped over the shouldersAdding a fur collar is an easy way to have versatile looks with your jacketsand always makes a Statement!
I also love to double up my jackets!this longer jacket over a blazeris perfect when I'm feeling the need for a little extra armor and polish!
This gray 3/4 length coatadds warmth and polish to this taupe ensemble.
Here is a cheerful embroidered jacketthat definitely makes a statement.
I don't often do prints in my wardrobe choices because they aren't as versatilebut this one is just so fun!
Which brings me to one of my very favorite types of
Statement Jacketsusing the term very looselyKimonos!
As I mentioned beforeI live in Southern Californiaso we really have only a very few monthsthat are actually cool enough for traditional jacketsso kimonosdo all of the great things jackets dobut also work in warmer weather!
Properly chosenkimonoscan be a perfect finish to an ensemblemaking for outfit perfection!
Plus I just love how kimonos move with you!They are always a dramatic player!
If kimonos have peeked your interestI have an entire post on them HEREIncluding links to my favorite kimono makerlocated in San Diego.
