Spring is the time to start preparing your wardrobe. A women's jacket for the spring-summer season will play a key role in the basic set of things. It will make an excellent tandem with woolen trousers, a skirt, and a flowing silk dress. For the new season, leading brands have prepared fashionable straight-cut and fitted jackets, options with an accent shoulder line and cropped models. Design developments with a complex cut deserve special compliments. Which jacket should you choose? Let's figure it out.
Trend # 1 - straight fit
A fashionable jacket of a straight cut, rather long, without an accent on the waist, is confidently gaining ground. Its versatility allows the use of different fabrics. Made from warm tweed, it can be a substitute for a light coat, raincoat or jacket on cool spring days. Sewn from thin linen or cotton, the blazer will harmoniously match a light dress and take root in a summer wardrobe.
A straight jacket is suitable for owners of any body type. With its help, fragile girls will emphasize their grace. Appetizing beauties can easily hide the extra centimeters that suddenly appear at the waist. A powder-colored Max Mara jacket will be a real investment in your basic spring-summer wardrobe. An ideal option for every day would be a discreet Miu Miu model.
Trend # 2 - active shoulders and sleeves
The most fashionable jackets of the coming season have an emphasis on the shoulder line and sleeves. Designers once again declare their love for puff sleeves, “lanterns” and elegant episcopal variations. A women's fashionable jacket with a voluminous shoulder and a low armhole will decorate tall, slender girls.
The creators of the Bottega Veneta brand relied on a business jacket of a silhouette cut with an increased volume of sleeves around the edges. Thanks to a clever trick, in contrast to the enlarged shoulders, the waist appears even thinner.
Trend number 3 - leather
Leather jackets are recognized favorites of the spring-summer season. The designers of the Altuzarra brand have prepared a discreet black leather jacket with a touch of light relaxation. The fitted cut is accentuated by a belt. The clothing trend can be combined with anything, both with shorts and a pencil-cut skirt. In tandem with leather trousers, you get a fashionable suit with a jacket.
The young Ukrainian-Georgian brand Gudu decided to move away from the boring classics tested by time. Fashionistas who are not fond of bulky items will appreciate the trendy look with a striped blazer that creates the visual effect of an hourglass, with an exaggeratedly thin waist.
Trend No. 4 - complex cut: double lapel, asymmetry, the presence of interesting details
With the retreat of cold weather, voluminous down jackets and fluffy fur coats are being replaced by jackets of complex cut on the fashion scene. Interesting design techniques find a way out in non-trivial cut and original details. Fashion trends are shown with masterly craftsmanship.
A double-breasted cropped jacket with double lapels became the adornment of the spring-summer collection of the American Fashion House Brandon Maxwell. Movable collars create many options for the original fastening. The thick blue color of the jacket looks spectacular in combination with the trousers of a juicy lime color. Jeans will also leave him good company.
For women who appreciate luxury clothing, the Louis Vuitton brand has created models in a sophisticated range of beige. An elongated jacket without sides attracts attention with an asymmetrically beaten fastener. The suit is complemented by classic trousers with arrows.
Gudu designers continued the trend of experimentation. The elegant cut of the jacket with a classic armhole, narrow sleeves and English sides goes well with the unusual closure with two asymmetrical buttons.
The traditional union - white top + black bottom - is presented with the maximum amount of creativity. An elegant ensemble will be appropriate for high-level negotiations and the premiere of a theatrical production.
The artists of the Italian brand Giada took a different look at the usual styles of jackets. For connoisseurs of glamor who skillfully introduce bohemian aesthetics into everyday life, we offer jackets with a minimum number of structural details. Slightly raised shoulder line, perfect sleeve fit, deep wrap closure, graceful cut. The set is complemented by long trousers that completely cover the heel and visually stretch the silhouette. The comme il faut style in the classical interpretation: everything is there and nothing is superfluous.
Trend No. 5 - soft volumetric models with a belt
The spring-summer season has turned on the green light for voluminous models. The feminine shape is accentuated by a belt that defines the waistline. Having gained popularity several decades ago, they periodically return to the world catwalks and wardrobes of fashionistas.
The new items will be appreciated not only by slender girls who are used to emphasizing their waistline. Voluminous jackets with a belt are complementary for overweight women. They add grace to the seductive curves of the figure. The design technique allows you to show off new leather belts or tie a belt made of basic fabric with a soft knot, as suggested by the Dries Van Noten brand (photo).
Trend # 6 - fringe
Cowboy fashion, which has triumphed across the world's catwalks for several seasons, has introduced fringe into every wardrobe item. After bags, shoes, skirts and dresses, she made it to the jackets. Youth variations with short or long threads along the edges of sleeves, sides and pockets do not even remotely resemble the wardrobe items of lonely wild nomads.
The main decoration, borrowed from the western style, gives the jackets an exclusive touch. Designer novelties have garnered a well-deserved standing ovation on the catwalks. They will not let down stylish women of fashion who will make their choice in their favor.
Trend # 7 - shorter models
The leadership of crop tops and blouses that slightly reveal the waist led to jackets. Short styles have become a welcome spring trend. The main rule to follow is that the skirts or trousers that complement them should be high-waisted so that there is no unwanted gap between the hem line of the jacket and the waistband of the bottom item of clothing. The shortened version, proposed by the Louis Vuitton Fashion House, will organically fit into the everyday life of a modern fashionista.
Trend No. 8 – oversize
The masculinity trends that prevailed in past seasons are not going to lose ground in the coming spring. Oversized jackets, as if borrowed from a men's wardrobe, have firmly established themselves in the arsenal of stylish girls.
Fashion houses Louis Vuitton and Valentino rely on classic black options. The increased shoulder line, low armholes, loose fit make one think that the jacket has been taken off a man's shoulder. The favorites of fashionistas are perfectly equipped with both trousers and a skirt, giving dozens of ways to introduce them into everyday life.
Trend No. 9 - single-breasted with patch pockets
Semi-fitted single-breasted jackets are a worthy alternative to oversize models. They easily cope with the task of visually elongating the figure, emphasizing its attractiveness. The brands Chloe, Massimo Alba, Tod's - trendsetters in world fashion - demonstrate how harmonious single-breasted models look when paired with loose trousers. So that modern girls can not part with their smartphones, designers have equipped jackets with deep patch pockets. Their practicality and comfort absolutely do not contradict the classics.
