I'm Ditching My Blazers For This Chic Jacket Trend

Even if you’re a “fall doesn’t start until September 21” kind of person, it’s time to at least begin thinking about the season ahead. This transitional period can feel like a weird one weather-wise, but these critical few weeks leading up to autumn are ideal for ideating your wardrobe, overhauling your beauty routines, and taking steps to make those exciting, upcoming fall trends your own. One of the easiest ways to get started is by incorporating a lightweight outerwear piece, like the buzzy lady jacket craze – critical for nailing those quiet luxury looks still so popular with celebrities and style stars alike. Makeup and manicures are an easy way to look forward to fall, too. Regardless of what the thermostat says, a vampy nail color or rich brown eyeshadow will still channel that autumnal energy. Sure, there’s plenty of time left to enjoy the final stretch of summer, but what’s the harm in being prepared?
