An Homage To Coco: The Collarless Jacket

Happy Easter!! Jesus is RISEN! And we are still celebrating because we’ve also entered the full-blown Spring fashion season, which is a refreshing welcome after a long, cold Winter (and Lent.) 


So, today, I want to talk about that one garment that will REALLY make a difference in your wardrobe.


It’s feminine and so easily polishes up any outfit. It’s a timeless piece that you can invest in and enjoy for years upon years. It’s also… comfy! 


What is this amazing article of clothing that I know will be a game changer for you?


Why… It’s the Collarless Jacket!


Here are fivereasons why I’m absolutely enthralled with this piece. Sometimes known as a ‘mandarin’ or ‘grandad’ collar (not TOO un-stylish a term, right?! or even a ‘cardigan’) if it’s a soft, wrap-around style), I hope you will see why this Spring style choice will work out for you, as well!


Let’s break it down!


1. The jacket is the perfect bridge when you feel a blazer is too stiff or professional, and a sweater just ‘isn’t enough’.

2. It hits higher on the hip, so when you wear a dress, you won’t lose your waistline (as one often does when breaking the visual line of a dress with a blazer).

3. It polishes up a more casual look, like jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers.

4. It’s a perfect additionto an office look to still maintain a professional vibe.

5. It has a more feminine feel and  isn’t as ‘menswearish’ as a traditional blazer.
