One Jacket – Five Ways!

I knew I wanted this menswear plaid jacket the moment I found it during the Nordstrom Sale! I thought the plaid would be a perfect neutral pattern to style with jeans or trousers. However, I really didn’t realize just how versatile it is until I began work on this post! Take a look at a few of the ways you can style a jacket like this!

Jacket + Paisley Top + Jeans

The menswear inspired jacket goes casual with the addition of paisley and my favorite Denizen jeans from Target. I also added a pair of snake print heels to elevate the look, making it perfect for a date night or even a casual work day.

Jacket + Paisley Top + Trousers

Keeping the same top and heels, I just swapped out the jeans for a pair of bootcut trousers, making this outfit perfect for work. I love bootcut pants and jeans! They are PERFECT for a pear shaped body! Read more about how to style a pear shape here.

Jacket + Yellow Bow Blouse + Jeans

I found this pretty yellow bow blouse last year at TJMaxx. It’s a perfect blouse for fall, and I think it looks great with the jacket! I’m styling the look here with the same jeans, and added the Cole Haan mules I received from Amazon last month.

Jacket + Simple Tee + Jeans

I found these mules at Target during my last excursion there. I love the rust color, and think it’s absolutely perfect for fall! I then added the rust color crewneck tee from my closet. Both pieces look great with the jacket and jeans, don’t you think?

Jacket + Graphic Tee + Jeans

Now I’m just having fun y’all! Who knew that a plain, menswear plaid jacket could be this festive? I’ve had this sparkly graphic tee in my closet for a few years, and thought it would add a bit of spunk to the otherwise simple jacket. Here’s a little style tip for you: think outside the box and play with your clothes, and if it makes you happy, wear it!
