It's easy to look terrific when you're wearing thousands of dollars worth of clothes, shoes and accessories. But a few fashion icons such as the Duchess of Cambridge and Katie Holmes manage to sprinkle their outfits with items that are available to the rest of us, like this Clare Vivier tote.
How to wear: a cropped leather jacket
posted by Jo Frances on February 27, 2012 9:47 amI've seen a lot of cropped leather jackets and have shied away from them, pretty much for the same reason I shy away from cropped anything: it has a tendency to emphasize hips and expose a less-than-flat stomach. Leather jackets were also tricky in that the wrong shape could quickly label you a real life Soprano. Yet, when I saw a picture of Miranda Kerr wearing her black leather Balenciaga jacket to perfection, it was hard not to want that instant cool factor in my wardrobe:
Well...leave it up to Sarah Jessica Parker to style a cropped jacket and make it wearable for women over 40:
In the first outfit, she pairs the jacket with a skirt that flares out at the same point the jacket ends. In the second, the jacket is worn with baggy boyfriend style jeans and in the third, she uses my personal standby, the short-over-long-over-tight silhouette. Thanks, SJP!
