Bolero jackets have been a mainstay of fashionable dressing for years. From high end runway shows to street style blogs, this look has been a favorite of editors and local fashionistas. Though a well used bolero jacket can be a staple of a great wardrobe, it can also be a big fashion no if worn incorrectly. Use the following guide to avoid the 3 biggest mistakes people make when wearing bolero jackets.
Make sure that your jacket fits you perfectly. Though some are meant to flare at the base, there is no excuse for a jacket that does not fit well through the shoulders and the sleeves. If you find a jacket that you adore in a size that is not ideal, spend a few extra dollars on the services of a tailor to have it resized to fit you. The extra investment may not seem like it is worth it at the time, but you will be thankful later on.
Getting the proportions right is the key to looking great. Bolero jackets will add a lot of volume at the top of your outfit, so make sure that all the other pieces you are wearing are slim and fitted. Balance out your look with a long, slim pant, a fitted shirt and a great pair of heels. By sticking to one high volume piece at a time, you will not add any pounds to your frame and your bolero will actually have a lengthening, slimming effect.
Avoid looking like you are wearing a costume. Some of the most beautiful, but also the most hard to wear, styles of this kind use heavy embellishment and rich fabrics. Those who opt for such a bolero jacket should take pains to ensure that they will not look like they are wearing a bull fighting costume when leaving the house. To ensure that this does not happen, it is a good idea to avoid thick, gold detailing and vintage velvet fabrics.
By keeping these three common mistakes in mind, you can be sure that you look your best anytime you pull on your favorite jacket.
