As we are still in the depths of winter, a jacket is a daily outfit staple. However, jackets are not only for the season! Different jacket styles can easily take you throughout the entire year. A jacket has the ability to complete any outfit. It can take your outfit from good to drop-dead stylish in one simple step. Stylist Amy Steenkamp takes us through the top 5 jacket styles that will timelessly elevate your wardrobe.
1. Denim Jacket
Denim / Jean jackets have been considered a staple for decades and that’s not changing anytime soon. They are super versatile and very easy to just slip on or throw around your shoulders on a chilly night. A timeless wardrobe essential, denim jackets also come in different fits that can suit the mood of any look.

2. Lightweight Trench Coat
Derived from military inspiration, the trench coat is and will always be a really chic addition to your wardrobe. What we love about the trench is the belted detail that can change the look of how we wear the trench completely. It is an excellent investment piece because of its versatility, and don’t forget the layering abilities in a neutral colour pallet.

3. Leather Jacket
The leather jacket is a classic and timeless piece which can be the perfect finishing touch to an outfit. We love the edgy/grunge aesthetic but also how stylish it is. Rock it with denim jeans and a plain white t-shirt or over the shoulders when wearing a winter dress. Our top tip, we love the cropped look!

4. Wool Coat
The wool coat is ultra stylish and offers the warmer element out of the jacket styles. It’s on the top of our winter wardrobe list. This style is elegant and exudes a polished look. Our style tip is to keep your outfit simple yet stylish as a base, then top it off with the coat which can really elevate the look. Keep the under layers fairly thin to avoid feeling locked in because this style can be more fitted and tailored.

5. Stylish Rain Coat
It’s not a good enough reason to only wear a raincoat when its rains. This outerwear piece may not be considered a staple but regardless of the weather, it should be. Try a super stylish outfit with a transparent raincoat to avoid ruining the look if there is a downpour. This is a really cool jacket style that can give anyone a sleek look with a practical finish.

Incorporate any one of these jacket styles this or any season and you will look incredibly stylish, guaranteed.
