Ahhhhh...Let me introduce you to my newest Spring CRUSH! Reader, meet White Tuxedo Jacket (WTJ)...WTJ, meet reader! Ok, now shake hands! Good, good! Onto our business at hand!
Beyond chic, WTJ are the NEW Black Tuxedo Jacket (BTJ) as of recent fall-rage! I can feel it now...they are destined to be the new 'go to' spring item in every stylish, lady-loves wardrobe! I'd deem it an essential, but I don't think it's quite gotten there yet.
Featured above we have the ever-stylish Blake Lively (RD's previous Muse of the Moment) on the January cover of Lucky in a killer white blazer. Then there's the ever-adorable Mary-Kate in her over-sized tuxedo version. Both ladies look clean, crisp and oh so refreshing in their looks.
Still skeptical? As you can see, below, white jackets were ALL OVER the Spring 2008 Runways...in all forms, shapes and cuts. Your choices are limitless as far as styling goes, so I chose NOT to include any versions for you, this go-round. I felt you were/are always capable of finding a bargain on your own, and this one's going to be a cinch. A sure-fire place for a show-stopping blazer is your local thrift store and don't be afraid to breeze through the men's section to land a SMALL bargain that was originally 'fit' for a King!
Impress your friends for your next all-gal gathering by sporting a white jacket and make sure to pair it with a simple color palette and minimal accessories. Let that white jacket be the only thing, other than YOU naturally, that SHINES oh so bright!
