By now, the cheeky little denim jacket is a wardrobe essential with a high longevity factor. There’s tons of ways to wear one. To dress down a strict sheath dress or elegant flowy frock. To casualize a dressy pencil skirt or flared skirt look. To wear with all sorts of pants, from wide-legged trousers over silky track pants to long bermuda shorts and clamdiggers. This one is a little cropped for extra spunk and has a bit of fading for that nonchalant lived-in look.

The bomber jacket just made my Must Haves list for Spring and Summer 2013. And this is a good one! The strong black and white graphic colour-block pattern plays wonderfully well with the cheeky, sporty vibe of this jacket in a stretch-cotton knit. Fab with jeans, shorts and trousers. And a fresh look paired with skirts and frocks. Runs true to size.

A little preppy and quite the chic casual look. The crested gold buttons and “reversed” stripes on the collar add elegance and interest to this fitted blazer. The lightweight linen blend makes this a good option for warmer months and climates. Wear it nonchalantly with boyfriend jeans and a slouchy top. Or dress it up for work with skirts or slacks.

As I write the blazer is on sale for $129.99.

The style integrity of a woven moto jacket paired with the comfort of a knit fabric. It’s machine-washable and has that fun asymmetrical zip detailing. It looks nice open and zipped up. The heather grey is fab with white, turquoise, yellow and pastels for Spring, and it works well with trousers and skirts. This jacket also comes in black. It runs a little tight under the arm.

As I write the jacket is on sale for $46.23.

I like the juxtaposition of the sporty bomber with the feminine bright-coloured floral print on the sleeves. The white colour-blocking at the V-neckline adds further contrast. This bomber jacket has a roomy fit and a silky feel to it. Fab over a pencil skirt, sheath dress, leather track pants, slouchy trousers, shorts or jeans. Runs true to size.

I love it in blue because it has a nice sheen to it and is a little more unexpected, but the brown is lovely too. With the tailored silhouette, adjustable waist tabs and gold buttons this jacket is dressier than the classic utility jacket. As a bonus, the resin-coated canvas makes it water-resistant too. Wear it casually with a tee, jeans or ponte knit pants and booties. Or create a fun juxtaposition with a sequined or silk top, a flirty skirt or frock and fab pumps or sandals.

This is going to be the year of white, and this jacket fits right into that trend. The fab detailing on this beautiful faux leather moto jacket is spot on. The perforated panels give it an airy sporty feeling, while the shimmery side panels add a fun sci-fi touch. Pair it with a flirty frock or skirt, or wear it with classic trousers or of-the-moment bottoms like baggy boyfriend jeans or slouchy tapered pants. Runs true to size. Also available in petite.

A tailored two-button blazer for a casual polished look. This striped cutie is fully lined and has some stretch to it thanks to the ponte knit fabric. The grey and white stripe looks especially fresh with white bottoms, but works equally well with blue and coloured denim. Runs true to size. It also comes in tall and petite, and is available in a navy & white stripe too.

As I write this blazer is on sale for $69.99.
