"It's too soon." “Why are we talking about jackets when it's time to be lying on the beach in a bikini?” "Aren't we getting too far ahead of ourselves? July isn't even over yet." We know that these and other thoughts crossed your mind when you read the headline of this article, but the truth is, sometimes getting ahead of the season is not only a good idea, but also a smart one.
We've all been there – shopping for winter wedding guest dresses at the end of August – so why not start talking about autumn jackets at the beginning of the month?
“Her simple and elegant style resonates now more than ever.”
Today, we present you the perfect Zara jacket that will get the autumn started right — stylistically speaking, anyway. Suede jackets were a top trend last autumn – as seen on Jacquemus, Prada and Gucci runways – and you'll be able to wear them for five or ten years into the future. This one? It's perfect.
A quick overview of what we're dealing with:
- Hip-length.
- Straight and boxy cut, slightly oversized.
- Made of 100% suede leather.
- In the light brown colour that triumphed last autumn and experienced a revival in the spring.
Halfway between a blazer and an Elizabeth II style jacket, this jacket from Zara's newest collection has everything we are looking for. It has the duality of trend and timelessness that is so all too rare, and — well — it's suede.
It's an evergreen piece that makes a perfect wardrobe staple for this year's best spring looks.
What is it about this jacket? Perhaps it is the fact that it borrows some nostalgia and elegance from the simple jackets that we've loved since the nineties. Or maybe it's that ability to be the most functional and versatile jackets of the season. After all, we can imagine it with a multitude of garments. It looks great with a floral dress, with jeans, lingerie skirts, lace pants and even with a pair of micro shorts.
In short, we've never liked being ahead of the trends as much as we like this timeless Zara jacket. And you can be its proud owner today.
