Bolero Jacket

Blogs
A fashion classic to own
By Namita on May 31
Bolero Jacket

Every fashionista would tell you the importance of accessories in completing the much wanted, trendy look. A bolero jacket is one such accessory. The bolero jacket originated in Spain as part of the gentleman’s dance costume and also as the equestrian rider in bullfights. A bolero jacket is a short jacket, sized by bust measurement, so measure appropriately to get your right size. It covers upper torso, shoulders and arms leaving the waist and back exposed. It basically emphasizes the waist by reducing the fabric gathering around it. The right length is critical for a bolero jacket. Or else it would look like a cropped jacket or an ill-fitted sweater. It is a stylish cover up for skimpy tops. It is made of many different fabrics and can be used to dress up or down with most outfits and for many occasions. Fabric like silk, lace and satin will give the formal, delicate look needed for the formal occasions like weddings. Another formal place to wear it is the workplace. However, a neutral shade like the black or blue would look more appropriate.  Boleros are commonly seen during spring and summer as an option to the heavier jackets or sweater. It provides a hint of warmth in the seasonal breeze, though is not really effective for cold weather.

There are so many styles in a bolero jacket to choose from. Alternatively, you can even sew your own jacket as there are tons of bolero jacket patterns available. The arm length of the jacket can be cap sleeves, short sleeves, ¾ sleeves or full length. It is commonly paired with a dress or a shirt. However, you could even pair it up with a fitting tee or top. You can even add feathers or tassels on your jacket to enhance the look. There are so many possibilities with this piece of clothing that it makes it a must-have for your wardrobe.

If this is going to be your first bolero, I recommend a lace bolero jacket. You could easily wear this to work and even pair it up with jeans for a more casual look. It is the just right transition piece.

Breathe new life into your dress or shirt with a bolero jacket.

How to pick a bolero jacket
By Eddie on April 20

A bolero jacket is a fashion staple that belongs in every woman’s closet. The jacket can be short and simple to more complex with sequins and flourishes. These jackets are nice to have because they offer just enough coverage to keep you warm but still allow you to show off that perfect outfit.

There are really only two considerations you need to think about when picking a bolero jacket. The first is color and the second is style.

Color

One of the most important things to consider when purchasing a bolero jacket is the color. This is important because since this jacket is a fashion staple, it is something that you want to be able to wear with almost anything, from a pretty dress to a nice pair of pants. One way to pick a color is to look in your closet and take an inventory of the colors you have. Pick a jacket that work with most if not all of the colors in your closet. You may find out that you need two bolero jackets though! If you can’t figure it out, stick to neutral colors like black, beige, gray and white. (Don’t be afraid to go for solid colors like royal blue and purple either!)

Style

It is quite common to find bolero jackets that are embellished with studs, grommets and sequins. And it is pretty common to find boleros made with durable fabrics like cotton and to find boleros made with satin and organza fabrics. What will help you choose the right bolero for you is knowing how you will use this piece in your wardrobe. If you are the type who always looks a little dressy, an embellished or even a satin bolero might be the right kind of style for you. If you are the type of person who likes no-frills classic looks, then stick to a basic bolero jacket made from durable material.

It may payoff to invest in two bolero jackets, one for everyday wear and one for special occasions. Either way, practice pairing up your jacket with different clothing pieces and styles. Pretty soon you’ll get a knack for what works for you.

Top 3 tips for creating a day to night wardrobe
Guess Coraline top

Sometimes it can be so hard to go out to dance or socialize when the workday ends. Sometimes you are so tired that the first thing you end up doing is laying down in the bed and never getting up. And some people (including me) have long commutes between work and home making it near to impossible to go home after work to change.

But with a proper day-to-night wardrobe, going out after work is a snap.

For jackets: Find a style that can ward off the chill in the morning and at night. Wool coats that stop below the knee or at mid-calf are great for day and night. Especially in staple colors like olive, gray or black. If you are the adventurous type, try houndstooth.

Warm weather options to consider are a tailored black blazer or a black bolero jacket, which is also a cinch to throw on in a pinch.

For shirts: Start building your day-to-night wardrobe by purchasing ready-to-wear pieces with tailored accents. For example the Guess Coraline top. The top features a scoop neckline with front-side pleating and is great for office wear.

When paired with a blazer or another tailored jacket you’re ready to go out for an evening of drinks and dinning. Play around with different top styles and cuts, but remember the look is in the details

For skirts and dresses: Skirts are pretty easy for a transition from day-to-night, the thing you have to worry about is choosing a skirt that suits your body type. The best skirts for day-to-night transitions are full skirts, flared skirts, pleated skirts and last, but certainly not least, pencil skirts.

The other trick with picking a skirt is finding colors that are bold at night and subtle in the office — think plums, corals and some blues. What’s really popular and great for day-to-night wear are skirts and dresses made with subtle yet bold print fabrics.

Just remember to bring a change of shoes for the end of the day if your outfit calls for it and you’re all set to take back the night and your social life!

Tips
Latest Trend: Bolero Jackets
Latest Trend: Bolero Jackets

A bolero jacket is garment similar to a cardigan, but it is cropped higher. Bolero jackets are usually for women, and end above the stomach. The jacket usually connects via a button or clasp across the bust line.

  • A bolero jacket can work well as part of a business ensemble, similar to a vest. It looks best worn over a long sleeve blouse and matched with an appropriate pantsuit. The overall outfit works well as business casual attire that projects both competence and flair.
  • If you like the look and shape of a bolero jacket, but want to wear it in a more casual setting, consider getting a shrug. A shrug is similar in design to the bolero, but it is usually knitted. It is also likely not to have a button connecting it in the front, so usually the wearer ties the two front halves of the shrug together. A shrug works well with a tank top in a relaxed setting, like an afternoon shopping trip.
Using old clothing as wrapping paper
Using old clothing as wrapping paper

We all have a few items hanging in our closet that should no longer be there. Whether they're stained, torn, or the remnants of a previous fashion trend nightmare, there's a better option than just throwing these clothes away. Save money, and the planet, by transforming old clothes into uniquely crafted wrapping paper!

Take an old piece of clothing, like a torn cotton tee shirt, and cut a large square out to cover the gift. You can use double-sided tape to secure the fabric or try securing the ends together with an ornate brooch or festive pin. You can also add a used scarf or necktie as your own eco-friendly ribbon.

Old silk shirts and blouses are a great option for wrapping your more expensive gifts. Tie some lace ribbon around the silk fabric to complete this elegantly antique look. You can also try wrapping gifts with an old bolero jacket. You can use a piece of yarn as the ribbon and it will hold the bolero jacket in place.

Your old, faded jeans are also perfect for wrapping paper. Cut along an inside seam to free up more denim fabric, then cut out squares to fit the various shapes and sizes of your gifts. For small boxes, cut out a back pocket and the denim fabric surrounding it, then secure the denim to the gift with the back pocket facing up. Leave a card or gift tag peeking out of the pocket for a finishing touch.

What bolero to wear with lace wedding dress?
$query

When wearing a lace wedding dress you may be looking for some more coverage if the dress is sleeveless and the wedding will take place in a cold climate. Or you may even want to have an added accent to complement an all-lace wedding dress. This is when a bolero jacket comes in handy.

When deciding what type of bolero jacket to wear with a lace wedding dress, there are several options to choose from. If you’d like the bolero jacket to match the lace wedding dress, you can search for a lace that is identical or a close match. If you can’t find a bolero jacket that matches perfectly, you can also search out the lace and have a bolero jacket custom made.

Another option is to find a bolero jacket in a satin material that matches the color of the lace wedding dress. Pairing a satin bolero jacket with a lace wedding dress will add the perfect contrast in materials but will still make the gown and jacket look bridal. You could also add some lace detailing to the satin bolero jacket by pinning on a lace flower or adding some lace trim to the sleeves or collar.

How to wear a bolero jacket?

When searching for ways to wear your bolero jacket you may be surprised at how easy it is to incorporate this short jacket into virtually any outfit.

Bolero jackets are the perfect addition when there’s a chill in the air that doesn’t permit you to wear that strapless dress or tank top without feeling cold. You can throw a bolero jacket over any sleeveless ensemble to create a look that’s not only more stylish, but perfect for temperamental climates.

Try adding some chic sophistication to your satin evening gown or little black dress by throwing on a faux fur bolero jacket. The faux fur bolero jacket will not only add warmth but will also give the outfit an instant Hollywood glamour update.

You can wear your bolero jacket with a strapless dress in a matching material to make the dress more professional, or even just to shield your arms from the evening’s colder climate.

Take an ornate bolero jacket and wear it with jeans and a tee shirt to instantly transform your look from casual to dressy. You can also add a brightly colored bolero jacket to an outfit with neutral hues to give the overall look some zing.
