boyfriend jacket – do you have a boyfriend?

Remember going to a formal in high-school? You probably wore some version of a strapless taffeta number with satin pumps that were dyed to match your dress. Your date brought you a corsage, which you were hoping was for your wrist so it didn’t interfere with the look of your dress. Inevitably, the dance was a bore and you couldn’t wait to go the after-party. High-school parties were usually in someone’s basement or in the middle of an obscure field. Which usually meant it was going to be cold! The best part of the night was when your date noticed you shivering, took off his jacket and put it on your shoulders. SWOON!
That’s basically the feeling you want to recreate, but in a more sophisticated way. The Boyfriend jacket is not fitted, it hangs longer, and more loosely. Balance it out with more fitted pieces underneath.

Balance it out with more fitted pieces underneath. Straight jeans with a classic tank, and stillettos.

2. The Boyfriend with a dress

It’s perfect over a slim-lines dress. When wearing a boyfriend jacket with a dress, the dress should peak out at the bottom.
