the it lists – fashion & trend blog

To take an outfit to the next level of fabulous – it’s all about the jackets lately.  Fall must-have was the boyfriend blazer and although we’ve seen it transition into spring in pastels and white, there is a new contender in the game.

The Military Jacket no doubt is this seasons must have.  It seems everything that hit the runway for the Balmain S/S ‘09 collection has quickly developed into a trend and one amazing embellished jacket comes to mind whenever I think of that collection.

But really who can afford that jacket?  Military jackets are popping up as we speak.  I snatched up an amazing white one at the Flare Magazine FCUK event which was undoubtedly my best purchase of the season.

And for summer days when you can’t justify rocking 3/4 sleeves a great variation is the military vest.  I saw an amazing one at Bebe that I’ve not been able to get off my mind.  Pair with a silk racerback tank, light denim skinny ankle jeans and some fierce stilettos and be prepared to be ‘fired’ with compliments.

Red is ruling the runways as the perfect complement to this season’s subdued black and grey. The perfect way to brighten up your fall look is with this must have:  flame red pea coat from FCUK French Connection.

It’s got the trendy slight bell sleeve, and its swing-line shape will work with skinny or layers – it’s stylish, cute and will definitely get you noticed. You won’t want to take it off! Tip: Accessories and jackets are the easiest ways to update your current wardrobe.
