#GetTheLook: Oversized Jacket

You know the saying ‘Go big/hard or go home’? Well… seems it was the mantra behind this outfit post, hence the oversized jacket situation. The story behind it is quite funny actually and bares another famous quote – ‘be careful what you wish for’. And ‘practice what you preach’. What is wrong with me this morning, living via quotes and shit? Anyway.

Here’s the story: I adore the oversized jackets trend. I really think it’s one of the most sophisticated looks we’ve had from fashion in a long time, and it’s so versatile and diverse that it really works for any personal style, from the sexy glam effortless look a la Kim Kardashian par example to the more hobo chic style of the Olsens. The best part is you can actually share it with your man. Ha. Fashion is unisex after all. Also… the oversized jacket style leaves so much room for chunky sweaters and layering it’s a very thoughtful kinda trend.

So my love for all these, and my lust to be part of the cool oversized jacket gang drove me to get such a jacket. I might have gotten a little carried away on the oversized situation, buuuut… even the best ones make mistakes, right? #lol.

When USA Jacket wanted to gift me with a jacket I jumped at the occasion of finally looking tiny in a massive cool jacket. I don’t know about the tiny, but the massive jacket I sure nailed.

Let me tell you though why it’s like the best choice I made.

Paired with heels and skinny jeans it’s the definition of cool and effortless. It’s like you literally dressed pretty and then just threw on the first jacket you laid your hands on, which happened to be an oversized jacket. The different style items (heels + masculine cut coat, bold lips) paired the #OOTD architecture – all kinda root for a very sophisticated chic overall style.

The color is beyond insane. I love red and I love how it looks paired with anything, it’s a color that fits my mood and personality.

The quality is really really great, the shipping was fast, and the shop USA Jackets is simply one of the best online hubs for ‘famous jackets’. The movie staple jackets, like the Tom Cruise from Top Gun jacket, or the Suicide Squad one, or the superheroes jackets (hello my Captain America one) are perfect jackets for a very trendy street style.

Being a girl who actually has some of these jackets, I have to say go for the look, they’re amazing, they’re trendy, they look so expensive, and the quality is great. Personally I couldn’t be happier with this new addition to my boyfriend inspired/movie jackets collection. (I have the Captain America & Suicide Squad ones, and I love them).

I am wearing this red jacket in size L, and I’m normally size S, or XS. And I think you could probably get the oversized look with an M as well. (wish I knew that.)

P.S. The 80s are back as well, so this jacket arrived just in time. :)

Here are all the photos.
