This is one of the pieces I am looking forward to most this fall! A sleeveless jacket is the perfect blend of masculine women’s wear with structure and sexiness.

With more weight and substance than a vest, it is a perfect layer to jazz up any outfit. For daytime, you can wear it with skinny jeans and a long tank. I particularly like the more edgy take with distressed or shredded jeans and platform open-toed booties.

At night, you can use it to personalize any dress- just make sure that the length of the dress is about the same as the jacket. Add heels or flats depending upon how dressy you want to be. Again, I might opt for a “thicker” shoe, like a bootie or ankle wrap-around, to balance the heaviness of the jacket.
