Which jacket style with Skinny Jeans & heels ?

I'm after a flattering (yes over 40) & neutral jacket to go with nice tops & skinny jeans.

I don't want the bulk or the stiffness of a biker jacket. And I don't want something that's high round the neck.

What kind of jackets etc do you wear ?

What about a neutral coloured trench coat with the sleeves rolled up? I have a navy blue one and it looks really good with skinny jeans and heals :)

What about a kimono you can get long or short ones they are gorg with jeans and heels!

desperatehousewife21 · 27/04/2015 16:38

what about a cream/black/ coloured (depending on heels and occasion) blazer? you can get structured ones or more relaxed jersey type ones and I think they look good with everything smart/ casual/ work/ shopping literally any occasion!
I'm after a coral one Wink

I have a jersey blazer, a soft biker jacket and a neutral coloured light blazer

I like the kimonos but think of them
as the top rather than a jacket ? I've had my eye on some for a while Smile

The Blazers etc all sound good - any links ? I'd prefer something that didn't make my bum look big & wide (it's flat & hangy you see Blush)

Desperate, there is a lovely coral one in new look for £25. I got it at the weekend and it's fab, nice and light yet really smart. I usually struggle to find a flattering one but this really hit the mark. I'll see if I can find a link!

Miss Selfridge (yes, I know! Surprising!) have some lovely jersey blazers in at the moment.
I like this grey one:

The cream Next one is lovely - I expect its good quality as cotton mix ?

Any clue as to what the Next premium skinnies are like ?

Can I go against the grain and say I don't really like the blazer 'look' with skinnies & heels. I have a khaki utility jacket which I wear with skinnies & heels and looks good with just about anything - www.pinterest.com/pin/12173861465190406/this kind of thing...

And this

Like the khaki utility style! Zara do good Jersey Blazers if you're after those.
