That Jacket Though

The way a coat fits is everything. The right cut, fit, and mood of a jacket can seriously elevate an outfit. I’ve collected tons of coats over the years so when choosing one I usually pick one that enhances what’s underneath. I feel a little off if not. I prefer it if things flow together, and if I have a big selection then why not. These statement jeans from DKNY are so cool. Cropped, cuffed, wide legged with fun butt writing (just made that a thing). If I’m even a drop bloated I can’t wear these, same goes for the cuddly crop sweater. This is one of those outfits for when I’m not retaining water (does that actually ever happen??). I love this variation on denim and a sweater. The bandana and super chunky boots lend playfulness and gravity.

Everything about this jacket complements the other pieces involved. Classic black leather moto vibe with that delicious cream Sherpa lining. A large coat wouldn’t work with the pants; it could easily read as sloppy. The pants are the statement so the top items need to show mad respect. Support and do it well while knowing your place. Hmmm... can fashion be a lesson in our own behavior?
