Item du jour: It’s a sleeveless jacket #loveneedwant.

What: A sleeveless jacket or vest #callitwhatyoulike

Which: It should be long and slightly tailored. It can be double breasted but single breasted is probably easier to toss on. I prefer it to the knee or longer – thank you Vicky B – but short is chic as well. It should be black, navy, camel, grey or white. Duh. Of course. There are no other colours. Oh, except red is cool but trickier to style. #stickwithblackandwhite.

Why: Because it is the perfect trans-seasonal piece. Because it has the chicness of a jacket but the casualness of a vest. Because your arms have room to move. (You can shop/eat/repeat with ease ).Because it can cover any muffins thighs. Because it’s very 70’s : THE big trend next season. Because it’s an instant wardrobe updater.com.

Wear: Layer it up for summer with bare arms , skirt and a tank. Hey you can evern wear it with sneakers or flat sandals see below. In winter toss over a sweater with skinny pants or jeans. Add heels. Wear it undone. Slouchy is chic. Love this camel vest with white sneakers and grey crop pants : it’s still one of my favourite looks from US Vogue last April seen here
