WOMEN’S JACKETS

How to care for a leather jacket?

The ultimate multitasker, a leather jacket is guaranteed to never go out of style. And with price tags to match the investment quality, it’s important to look after your piece carefully to preserve it for years to come. Ensure that you always read the manufacturers label for specific instructions on how frequently to condition or weatherproof the jacket. Avoid wearing your leather jacket in the rain and hang correctly after use to help maintain its shape. As leather will naturally lose some of its moisture, use a reputable conditioner as required, and if your piece requires a thorough clean take it to a professional leather cleaner.

How to style a women’s blazer for a casual look?

We know that a blazer works in an office or formal setting, but it can also pair perfectly with some of your more relaxed wardrobe staples. When styling a women’s blazer for a casual setting, take into consideration its length and colour to pair accordingly. Your favourite denim jeans and a white cotton t-shirt can offset a plaid or tweed blazer just as a simple mid or full-length silk slip dress can take a long-line blazer into a more laidback territory. Proportions are key – ensure your blazer silhouette complements your other outfit pieces, and experiment with rolling up the arm sleeves for an air of off-duty sophistication.

How to pick a versatile women’s coat?

Versatility is the key when it comes to selecting a women’s coat for the cooler seasons – you need it to be a style and colour you can wear more than once, with most other pieces in your seasonal wardrobe. Start with the colour: look for darker hues or neutrals that will work well alongside your other winter pieces. Length is also important – shorter hemlines suit more petite frames while long-line coats are flattering for taller figures. A self-tie belt can be a great addition for rugging up in the cooler months and an added inbuilt styling feature.
