Closet update

When it starts raining in August and the temperature falls below the 20s I start thinking of pre-fall collections and what could be my best transitional piece to the Fall time. You may think trench coats, scarves and hats, but that sounds a bit banal to me lately. What I’ve been think is sneakers, suede booties, denim tunics or the 60s vinyl double breast coats. This year it’s one more thing – the cropped jacket. I have one in white and another white bomber with beige leather sleeves which I like rolling up my forearms, wearing with layers of shirts and skirts and tunics and jeans or cropped pants. This season I have my eyes on a few new cropped treasures which I tend to turn int statement pieces because I will wear them with suede over the knee booties. Take a look:

Miu Miu colour block twill jacket from Net-a-porter

Alexander Wang cropped jacket

Saint Laurent Napoleonic officer embroidered wool jacket

Boots by Gianvito Rossi, available at Shopstyle

Wear any of these items with a midi skirt such as the Topshop Daisy Print Pleated:
