This beautiful plaid jacket (similar) from Nordstrom is truly a head-turner. Plaid is classic and always looks polished, and the nubby texture makes the jacket more interesting.

The color is fantastic! The mix of blue, red, yellow,white and a dash of pink is lively and creative – a modern twist on a classic print.

The fit of this jacket is also super flattering. It’s double-breasted, looks rather regal, and has a deep front cut, making it more feminine. It’s beautifully tailored and nips in perfectly to whittle your waist.

The bold shoulders on this jacket act like a hanger, giving you more definition and a better shape.

Shiny embossed gold buttons and the fact that the jacket is cut away at the front give this jacket a military feel.

It’s a strong but feminine jacket that would look great with a skirt and heels, or you could wear it with dress pants.

Since my lifestyle is more casual, I’ve styled it with these chic dark wash bootcut jeans.

A scoop-neck top, mock-neck, or turtleneck is perfect under this jacket. I chose an off-white, soft shell to make the jacket’s colors pop, and then I added this pretty Jenny Bird necklace.

Red Gucci Bag

And my red Gucci Bag matches perfectly! This is a fabulous outfit because it feels elevated but not stuffy, expensive, but not out of reach.

  1. I like the elegant way you look in that jacket. It doesn’t look to be over or under-dressed but chic—such a wow statement.

  2. Wow, that outfit is so sharp! I love it. Everything about those lines is things that I can wear with confidence. The style of the blazer and the long jeans is just right. The colors are striking without making one see only the blazer. This one is a home run for me.
