“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 idea. We’ve all found New Year’s Eve dresses in the middle of August, so why not start talking about the first jacket of the autumn in July?
Today, we present you the ideal Zara jacket that will get the autumn started right — stylistically speaking anyway. It was a top trend last autumn and you’ll be able to wear it in five or 10 years and still be on trend.
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!
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.
