Houndstooth Knit Jacket – Sophisticated with Jeans
As we head into fall, the easiest way to dress up a pair of jeans and a top is to add a third piece—a jacket. Here’s a beautiful statement jacket that will elevate your wardrobe while being very comfortable, too.
I love wearing a jacket with jeans to give me a polished look, but many jackets can feel a little too structured or stiff. Not this one. This chic little number is a knit jacket. It’s thick and soft with a menswear-inspired vibe. It feels like a sweater, but it looks like a jacket.
This knit jacket is such an iconic look. The high-contrast black and white houndstooth print adds a dramatic punch to your outfit, and the Chanel-inspired shape is striking. Yes, this jacket is technically on the boxy side, but it doesn’t look or feel shapeless. It has a more semi-slim cut that I find very flattering.
I love the relaxed look and feel of the jacket – collarless, with no buttons, just that gorgeous black trim with a frayed edge. It’s perfect for layering with a thin sweater or a soft, silky tee. This cloud-white sweater is also a fabulous piece. It’s light and peaceful, with delicate buttons up the wrist.
Skinny, slightly distressed jeans are a great way to showcase the jacket, but for a dressier look, you could also pair this with black jeans. This jacket would also look great with boot-cut jeans.
How do you like my shoes?
I’ve noticed that black mules with a gold or silver chain are a big trend this fall. It makes sense because we are all pretty much at home or not going far. These shoes are flat and comfy but a step up from slippers!
The pointy toes make your legs look longer, which I always appreciate when wearing flats. I like to look as tall as I can. The gold chain detail ties into the Chanel feel of this look and makes it feel high-end. These shoes sell fast, but I’ve linked a similar black mule.
Add cute earrings and a great bag, and you are all set. If you like this look, you can shop the Marl Knit Houndstooth Jacket above.
