subject: The military inspired jacket, the waterfall cardigan or mini skirts for women? [print this page] If you had to choose one item in your wardrobe that you couldn't live without this season, would it be your favourite pair of jeans, the trusty LBD (little black dress) that's got you out of loads of wardrobe crises or something completely else? It would come as no surprise if a lot of women would chain themselves to their military jacket, mini skirt or waterfall cardigan after the huge impact all three items have had on the fashion circuit this year.
The great thing about the military jacket is its versatility and that's what defines any so-called key' piece for a particular season or trend. The right military jacket can be worn open with jeans or a floaty dress and done up to create presence and power in an important business meeting so while you don't have to invest lots of money in getting a great version of this instant classic, it's worth browsing women's designer clothes online and finding the right one for you. Whether you go for a cropped military jacket, a boxy version or a tailored one, look at the detailing carefully and make sure it's classic and simple. Black, grey and navy are the three best shades to go for as these will be flattering and go with everything you already own and the best thing about opting for these muted colours is that the detailing can be more elaborate, as can your accessorising when you're getting ready for work, a day trip or a night out.
The waterfall cardigan is a much softer staple wardrobe item but what it shares with the military jacket is versatility, it really is something that you can throw on to cover up a grotty old t-shirt or when the weather turns cold and it works just as well when you want to smarten up a look as when you want to lounge around the house feeling as comfortable as possible. Waterfall cardigans are one of those basic items of clothing that women should have at least three of, in different colours, one black, one grey and one in the season's hot new colour. This year you should invest in a purple waterfall cardigan for the autumn / winter season and one in camel for effortless glamour and elegance whether you team it with a pair of jeans or a classically tailored shift dress.
Finally, let's talk about mini skirts and what they can do for you; quite simply they can bring instant femininity, they can make you look and feel sexy and they are available in an almost endless array of colours, styles and materials. A mini skirt can even work in an office environment just as long as you pair it with a pair of opaque tights, sensible heels and a beautifully fitted and tucked in shirt.
Of course mini skirts for women, waterfall cardigans and military style jackets can all be worn together, making them the three items of clothing that you should probably wish not to be parted from this season.
