I don’t know about you but I love a good jacket or blazer situation.
There are several in my wardrobe, all on high rotation now that the cooler weather is well and truly here.
Jackets add an instant finishing touch to a casual look. They can easily be worn during the day with jeans, a tee and a pair of flats or boots.
Swap those shoes for a pair of heels, add a statement necklace or earrings and a clutch and BAM! you are ready for one fun glam night out.
5 fabulous jackets you need in your life this autumn-winter
When I was plus size – catch up on my weight loss story here – jackets were a wardrobe staple, just as they are today.
The number on those dreaded scales or the tag on your clothes, your age or even your shoe size should never stop you from wearing styles that you are drawn to. That number also shouldn’t stop you from looking and feeling your best.
Sadly so many of us, myself included, waste valuable time and energy worrying about the number we see in front of us, when we could be doing so many other things. Like shopping for fabulous jackets that look amazing on and leave us feeling all sorts of gorgeous. Because that’s what you are and it’s what you’re worthy of being – 100% gorgeous. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Oh and one more thing. Throw the scales out. Looking at numbers first thing in the morning is only important if you’re an accountant.
You’ve probably noticed that I’ve given both ‘standard’ and ‘plus’ size options with these jacket selections. Not all brands cater for all sizes but this blog certainly does.
If you have a suggestion for a better word than ‘standard’ please let me know by leaving a comment. I really would love to hear it, as the whole ‘standard’ vs ‘plus’ terms are a bit 2012, don’t you think?
Also, I haven’t included prices in the information below. This is because brands often have sales – some are having them right now – so you’re best to click through to keep up to date with the current deals on offer.
Ok, now that the housekeeping is out of the way let’s get on with the 5 fabulous jackets you need in your life details, shall we?
