the fall statement jacket

9/8/2014

Although I love a great trench coat, my favorite fall outerwear piece is a blazer in a statement texture or print. The ideal piece is versatile enough to wear indoors and is warm enough to protect against the crisp wind outdoors. Tweed fits the bill perfectly. Last fall I skipped my usual knee-length fall trench in favor of a cozy tweed blazer layered under a puffy down vest. For an edgier look, a leather jacket  or any asymmetrical moto jacket can also serve this purpose. 
A statement jacket adds another level of style to your casual outfits, making denim look more polished and t-shirts feel less boring. Lots of fall activities taking place outside, such as pumpkin or apple picking, corn mazes, and hikes through state parks to see the leaves change. This means that on weekends there is a good chance that the only part of your outfit most people will see is the outermost layer. Make sure that your coats and jackets are pieces that you feel comfortable and confident in. Then you can enjoy the season and not have to worry about your clothes!
