Trend To Rediscover: Denim Jackets

I hope you all kept your denim jackets around because this 90′s trend has officially made a major comeback! I personally loved this style back then and still love it now, especially as a staple from spring and summer. Jean jackets are a fantastic alternative to a sleek blazer and can take you anywhere from the grocery store to a cocktail party, an afternoon barbecue, or a day at the beach.

As the style-setting celebs pictures above prove, a jean jacket can work with any ensemble. Pair it with a fashion-forward cocktail frock like Chloe Seviny, who wore a Wrangle jacket over a vintage Azzedine Alaia dress, or Emma Roberts, who topped off a fun Ruffian LBD with a Current/Elliott jacket. Throw it over a boho maxi like Jessica Simpson (wearing a Levi’s jacket over Diane von Furstenberg maxi), Nicole Richie (wearing a style by Paige Premium Denim) or supermodel Miranda Kerr (also wearing Levi’s). Throw your jean jacket over a romper to be a bit more fashion-forward, pair it with leggings and a tunic, a mini skirt, a maxi skirt- you get the idea!

From day-to-night, there really is no way to get this wrong!

Spring Must-Have: Lightweight Scarves

Spring Must-Have: Lightweight Scarves

I firmly abide by the mantra ‘you’re never fully dressed without a lightweight scarf to complete your look’- a smile is always nice too. Lightweight scarves are an obvious year-round staple and are such great ways to instantly spruce up your look. With the recession and money-woes running rampant, fabulous items you can get maximum use out of are key.

A lightweight scarf is a great alternative to a basic cardigan for spring- it’s portable and so much more versatile. Drape a scarf around your neck to spruce up a basic jeans-and-tee look, loop it through your handbag for a unique touch, wrap it around your head for a funky boho look, tie it around your waist to wear it as a belt, you get the idea!

Trend to Try: Neon Accessories

Trend to Try: Neon Accessories

Like it or not, we are slowly seeing the return of the ’80s. Shoulder pads, body con dresses, and even biker shorts. It can seem daunting – especially for those around back then! – but when approached with a fresh and modern eye, virtually anything can be seen as en vogue.

Neon is one of these trends that may be hard to pull off, but can be successful in small doses. If you’re scared of looking like a Post-It or a raver, skip the head-to-toe looks and go for a flash of color via the accessories route. Eye-popping hot pinks, electric greens, and acid yellows were all the rage this spring for DKNY, Doo.Ri, and Isaac Mizrahi. And I am still swooning after the Matthew Williamson day-glo python platforms. Neon perfection if it ever existed, I tell you!

The trick to making fluorescent work this decade is using it to accent neutral colors like cream, dove grey, navy and black. I love the idea of using a shocking accessory to add a jolt of electricity to classic and feminine silhouettes. Unless you want to look like a walking flashback, don’t do neon accessories with leggings, off-the-shoulder or oversized t-shirts, and anything too juvenile looking. Keep it simple and sophisticated.

If the Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, and Versace Fall 2009 runway shows are any indication, it seems like neon will still be relevant next season. So buy these accessories today and wear them now and later. Glow on!
