Women's jacket - why should you have one in your wardrobe?

A women's jacket has many names. It is slowly ceasing to be associated with the element of the old suit, which often tended to distort the figure and its proportions.

A women's jacket - perfect for any occasion!

Contrary to appearances, it is not a piece of clothing that is reserved exclusively for elegant outings. It is extremely versatile. You can successfully combine it with a variety of clothes - both formal and casual. All tricks are allowed, so create outfits for every occasion!

How to wear a jacket in a fashionable way? A white T-shirt, blue jeans and a black women's jacket is a foolproof recipe for a fashionable outfit for the office, a walk or a meeting with friends.

Are you going to a wedding and looking for outerwear? Women's jackets are here to the rescue!

When to wear women's jackets? 365 days a year!

There is no wrong season to wear a jacket and complete a fashionable outfit. In spring, it is a great alternative to traditional jackets, such as a leather biker jacket or a sporty bomber jacket. In summer, it is perfect for evenings when you need to protect yourself from the cool breeze. Just throw it over your shoulders and you're done!

How to wear a women's blazer in autumn? When the temperature outside starts to drop slightly, you can wear a woollen turtleneck underneath to keep you nice and warm. If you don't like turtlenecks or have a short neck, replace it with a sports sweatshirt, for example, which will break up the formal character of the women's blazer. In winter, it can also be used as a warming layer - fashionable, comfortable and with a touch of effortless nonchalance.

The women's jacket is timeless

A classic is always a good choice, and our heroine, the blazer, is a perfect example of this. Whether you choose a fitted or an oversized model, it will survive in your wardrobe for years and through the next fashion trends. When rummaging through your grandmother's or mother's wardrobe, you have probably come across real ‘gems’ that you would love to wear with contemporary outfits.

Have fun with fashion in a duet with a women's jacket!

A black jacket, or maybe beige or white? These are the colours that dominate our wardrobes. They are versatile, subtle and never go out of fashion. However, this does not mean that you have to limit yourself to safe options. Sometimes it is worth going crazy and getting a jacket with lapels decorated with sequins or embroidered flowers. The choice is yours!

Women's blazer - how to choose it according to your body shape?

Good women's blazers are those that are properly adjusted to the shape of the figure. This way, you can be sure that they will not distort your proportions, but will emphasise your curves and greatest assets, while concealing any flaws. So, check what body type you are!

Women's jacket for hourglass figures

Every hourglass figure is very lucky. It is not without reason that they are said to have perfect proportions. The hips are as wide as the shoulders, and there is a clearly defined waist. Which women's jacket suits them? Almost any! Both fitted and oversized models are perfect. You can choose from single-breasted and double-breasted jackets. A women's blazer with a belt to emphasise the waist is a great choice. Add wide trousers, a skirt or shorts - whatever you feel like.

Which blazer is best for pear-shaped women?

Classic pear-shaped women have narrow shoulders and quite wide hips. That is why it is important to find the right balance between the two. A women's blazer with emphasised shoulders, e.g. with pads, is an absolute must-have for you. Puffed sleeve models and those with a defined waist are also a good alternative. Avoid jackets that end at the widest part of your hips or bottom. Choose longer ones that make you look slimmer.

Women's jackets for a square figure

An H-shaped figure is characterised by the lack of a distinct waistline, but that doesn't mean that choosing the right model will be a difficult task. Contrary to appearances, many styles of jackets suit this type of figure, especially those with built-in shoulder pads and puff sleeves. Jackets that are slightly flared towards the bottom are also a great choice - it's a great way to create the illusion of fuller hips. You should also have a fitted jacket or a double-breasted jacket that reaches below the buttocks in your wardrobe.

Apple silhouette - what kind of women's jacket should I choose?

The ‘apple’ shape has slim legs but a rather stocky torso. It often gives the impression of a fuller stomach than is actually the case. How can this be remedied? First of all, avoid jackets with pockets at belly height and short jackets that only reach to the hips. Instead, choose a longer cut, preferably double-breasted, although a single-breasted jacket will also work.

Inverted triangle: which jacket is the best choice?

Women with this body shape usually have broad shoulders, especially in comparison to their hips. It is up to you to make them look wider and create the right proportions. Women's jackets with pockets on the waistline will help you do that. Models with shoulder pads or puff sleeves should be avoided. You should also look for your favourite long jackets, which will make your hips look fuller.

Women's jackets - how to choose the right size? Check out Lou's offer!

The cut of a women's jacket is one thing. Its size is another story. How do you choose the right one? First of all, focus on how the chosen model fits on you. At Lou, you can order several sizes and choose the one that fits loosely but not too tight. Another good indicator is whether you can button it up without any problems. If not, choose a larger size. A red flag is also when the fabric wrinkles in sensitive areas or when it feels tight, especially around the shoulders.

In the end, focus on comfort and your own mental well-being. You should feel like yourself!
