How To: Wear Your Jacket On Your Shoulders

The 1950’s-esque style of wearing your jacket on your shoulders has become one of the trendiest looks of the season. Vogue is calling this popular style “coat slinging”and we saw it more than ever at recent fashion weeks. Now that we’re finally approaching cold weather, it’s time we all learn how to rock this awesome look! We are super excited to give our Poshies a guide to the trend.

The truth is that wearing your jacket on your shoulders actually provides a great way to frame your awesome outfit and show every layer of your winter look, instead of covering it all up. And what’s even better is that you can rock this trend no matter where you’re going or what you’re wearing. It’s a great way to bring your outfit together and give off a chic and composed vibe. You can even think of your jacket as an accessory. Not only does it keep you warm during the approaching cooler months, it makes you look effortlessly stylish.

Just a couple of pointers before we give you some great buys to pull off this hot fall trend:
– Make sure to use the right kind of jacket for this look. Tight-fitted jackets won’t work, as they will not create the loose and cool effect the trend provides. Larger and boxier jackets like a leather moto or a long winter coat
work better, giving more body shape.

– Find a perfect balance between your jacket and the rest of your outfit because the point of the jacket on the shoulders is that it frames your outfit, giving it lots of attention. So make sure that if you have a colorful or printed outfit on, wear a jacket that is a solid and neutral color. Likewise, if you have an interesting jacket on don’t wear a busy outfit underneath.

– Lastly, try to stick to a smaller bag, like a clutch that can be held in your hands rather than something that goes on your shoulder to avoid technical difficulties.
