This season has been privy to a fair number of trends. At Shonamac, we’ve seen several of the bigger trends coming through the store but one look that stands out has been the use of versatile cropped jackets styled in a wide variety of looks. From Alaia to Valentino, we’ve noticed our cropped jackets collection being increasingly picked up by ladies who are looking to create multiple looks, adding just enough coverage without any heaviness. Perfect for summer.
Thought about adding a chic cropped jacket to your luxury collection?
Whatever your style, jackets are a versatile item that should be able to partner with a range of different looks. Whether you style them with tailored shorts and wedges for a summer evening dinner or add some coverage to your arms over your favourite maxi dress, a cropped jacket is the summer essential, even we didn’t realise you needed. Until now.
The best thing about a simple cropped jacket? You can even throw it over your most comfortable jeans and a crisp white tee to update and dress up the simplest of looks.
Here, we’ll take you through just a couple of our current cropped jackets.
Keep It Neutral
Valentino Pale Gold Cropped Silk Collarless Jacket UK8 £265, Chloe Nude Pure Silk Weave Crop Jacket F36 £125 (SOLD)
These pure silk jackets from both Chloe and Valentino are the perfect neutral hue to allow you to style with a plethora of palettes, giving you plenty of options for wear. The beautifully simple, collarless and cropped styling keeps the look neatly tailored, lending itself perfectly to a more formal occasion look as well.
Make a Statement
Adding a bold print to a simple look is a great way to make a style statement with a cropped jacket.
