Sleeveless jackets
The sleeveless jacket has become the trend of this season. Chic options on the catwalk and everyday looks of the stars are complemented by numerous options in catalogs and magazines. They are united by the fact that a sleeveless jacket is the basis of the image and fits well into any style. How to tame the current novelty and apply it in your wardrobe?
Peculiarities
Jackets and sleeveless jackets do not have a special name, so they are often called vests. The actual item of clothing has a feature: it can also have shoulder pads, a collar, buttons, lining and trim. If fashionistas sometimes wear vests directly “on the body”, then a sleeveless jacket requires an additional layer. But designers with great pleasure experiment with silhouettes and length. Thanks to such a variety, each girl can find her own version and create a new image.
Models
This season, the emphasis is on long and elongated models, so the floors go down well below the waist. The running length is approximately to the middle of the thigh. As for the choice of silhouette, there are many options:
- The popular oversized is a practical option for the street, it is distinguished by a straight and slightly loose cut.
- Fitted options against its background become elegant additions that “correct” the figure and create a waist.
- Long sleeveless wrap jackets can rival dresses.Such a jacket will complement a frilly and elegant blouse better than others.
- Practical models with a longer back. Asymmetrical length adds expressiveness and allows you to create unusual combinations, it is a compromise between fashion, dress code and style.
materials
Vests are designed for windy and cool weather, so thick and warm materials are used to create them, which is not quite common for a warm season. At the same time, fabrics should be quite breathable and light enough to successfully pair with the rest of the elements. Jackets made of natural textured fabrics (tweed, jersey, boucle, cashmere) look elegant and sophisticated. Tougher options keep their shape perfectly, but require taste and competent presentation. Leather is one of those materials.
For everyday and versatile options, a denim jacket is best. It looks good in different models, combined with other clothes and accessories.
How to choose
In order for the purchased jacket to please, it is important to choose it, taking into account a number of points.
- seasonality;
- Completeness;
- figure;
- Own style.
Long and elongated options are good in demi-season. In summer, combinations with short and elongated jackets (not below the middle of the thigh) are of interest, since this length is better combined with shorts and skirts. For the cold period, you need to choose short options: such a jacket performs more of a decorative function. The extra volume and weight of long models can be uncomfortable to use.
The purchased sleeveless jacket should be in harmony with the things from your wardrobe.Actual universal colors (black, white, dark blue), bright shades can become a highlight, and pastel "marshmallow" tones will create a romantic soft look. Choose bright and pastel shades if you are confident in them and successfully combine them in your wardrobe.
The length of the jacket and its style should take into account the features of the figure. Long models are suitable for tall girls, short versions are good for petite ones. Fitted jackets will help to "create" the waist, emphasize it with a belt. This option can put emphasis on a magnificent bust. Patch pockets will help divert attention from the top or create additional volume.
An interesting option for choosing a jacket according to the type of face: classic shapes, natural textured, slightly fleecy fabrics are suitable for soft and rounded features. This effect will add femininity, softness and romance. If you tend to be overweight, then avoid the “fluffy” effect in favor of smoother materials. Sharp features, highlighted cheekbones are suitable for “hard” options with elements of metal, leather and catchy fittings, military style, khaki, options for a “leather jacket”. Such a jacket will add expressiveness to the features and complement the image, making it more sexy and organic.
What to wear and match
A sleeveless jacket is a bright and ambiguous thing, so you need to choose "companions" wisely.
A light summer version can be supplemented with a pastel-colored T-shirt, shorts or a skirt. If you choose plain shorts, focusing on the main color scheme, then you can experiment with a skirt. Skirts of a free, light and flying style, balloons, etc. are good. You can choose a floral print, or you can choose another popular trend and complement the bow with a pleated skirt.Summer dresses and sundresses with pleats, loose hem or fabric with a pattern in flowers will be very useful.
A summer urban look is easily complemented by small neat bags and clutches, platform shoes or wedges. You can experiment with the height of the heel, given the features of the figure.

A soft-shaped bag and strict boots, ankle boots, a platform and a wedge will complete the look of an urban fashionista. It is often chosen for walks by stars, because this option is versatile and comfortable, it can be diversified with large accessories. Choose turtlenecks, T-shirts and jumpers according to the season.
A floor-length dress, complemented by a sleeveless jacket, looks gentle and elegant. Fitted and wraparound jackets add bohemian chic to your evening look. They can also transform a simple long dress and create the perfect match for a date. This look is best complemented with heels or classic shoes.

A hat or a bright scarf will help to revive the image. A long black or navy sleeveless blazer looks good with pumps and an expressive loose-fitting blouse and straight-leg trousers. This image is also considered universal.
