Ahhh...Summer's lease hath all too short a date...
We loooove summer, but the shopaholic in us is itching for the next season (and no, that's not due to allergies). Luckily, nights in Los Angeles tend to be cool, which is great for those of us who are already unearthing apparel packed away in closets, awaiting to be loved again. And it's not even August!
If you're going shopping in the near future, here's a trendy piece you should be sure to snatch up--the infantry-inspired oversized jacket. We can't tell you how much we are in love with this look and its versatility! You can dress it up or down, depending on the occasion! We'd hashtag this one under #musthave and #staple.
"But Sassy Girls, how would we wear this trend?" Glad you asked.
A few tips on looking tip-top during this military madness....
1) Don't overdo the oversized! The jacket is already loose, so your other apparel shouldn't be. If you plan on wearing it over a dress, short dresses are better than long ones...unless your long dress happens to be more fitted. But then again, rules are meant to be broken.
2) If you're wearing this look with jeans, then we'd suggest sticking with either fitted jeans and not so much the boyfriend cut. Although, in some cases this could be an exception. Use your judgement on proportions!
We also love this look with leather skinny pants and skinny jeans. The tighter pants with the oversized jacket look amazing in contrast.
3) Wear it over a t-shirt and use fun accessories to dress it up! The chunky chained animal necklace seen on Cara Delevingne and Rihanna, a fun new trend, is perfect for this outfit.
For some trendy accessories, check out what we've just brought in at Shop Sassy Girls.
4) If you're wearing it with a T or a tank, then try pairing it up with shorts and heels! We love mixing up apparel in ways that most wouldn't normally attempt! It adds an element of sophistication and style. Wayyy chic.
See how versatile this one staple piece can be? ;)
