The Return of the Jacket
The verdict is in: the jacket is the IT item of the season, reinvented afresh on all the major runways. From cinched and cropped to sculpturally chic, there’s one to suit every mood. Pair with skinnies for date night, a pencil skirt for the work week, and a pair of shorty-shorts for a night out on the town. A jacket instantly pulls together your wardrobe and adds your signature style to otherwise basic looks.

8. Helmut Lang Dark Charcoal Asymmetrical Jacket ($795)
Yesterday’s post was dedicated to the asymmetrical dress, so it’s only fair we give the asymmetrical jacket a nod. This streetwise coat has Lang’s signature sculptured style, and its zipper details add a moto twist.
