The Boyfriend Jacket

My first reaction upon seeing menswear coming into fashion was, "oh no, no woman can possibly look good in this!"  But my decision was changed the first time I seen a boyfriend jacket walk the runway.  I fell instantly in love...not just high-school infatuation, but full on 'I want to marry you and live with you forever' love.
 
Suddenly I was daydreaming about how chic I would look walking the streets wearing it with my jeans and a tee.   

  Or how refined I'd look with it effortlessly cinched at the waist with a skinny belt over a cocktail dress a'la Chloe.

Or how corporate I'd look if I paired it with a pencil skirt or black pants, like this K Karl Lagerfeld one.       

It's one of the best pieces for Fall I think.  It's so versitile you can get tons of different looks with it.  And the fun thing is that everyone has gotten in on the trend, so you can find a jacket at even the lowest price.  Now there is no reason not to indulge your inner fashionista while on a budget!
