Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Trend: Tuxedo Jackets

 

 

In my opinion, a tuxedo-inspired jacket is always fashionable, but this Spring and Summer they are particularly on trend.  (Above: Barbara Bui; Haider Ackermann; Christian Dior; Lanvin.)  I like this trend because you can dress a tuxedo jacket up for the evening over a mini dress or down during the day with a t-shirt and jeans.  Not to mention the fact that a nice structured blazer can camouflage a number of problem areas (arms, waist, etc.)  Hopefully, you already have a tuxedo blazer in your closet, but in case you don't, below are some new fresh options to consider:  BB Dakota "Zane" blazer for $98 on www.lulus.com; BCBGMAXAZRIA tuxedo blazer for $228 on www.piperlime.com; BCBGMAXAZRIA "Guy"striped tuxedo blazer for $248  on www.bloomingdales.com; Greylin "Beatriz" tuxedo jacket for $128 on www.piperlime.com; Jessica Simpson "Dalton" chambray jacket for $79 on www.nordstrom.com; Spiked tuxedo blazer for $32.80 on www.forever21.com; rag & bone tuxedo jacket for $194 on www.nordstrom.com; Rachel Roy tuxedo jacket for $448 on www.bloomingdales.com; MM Couture tuxedo blazer for $99 on www.macys.com; GUESS tuxedo blazer for $138 on www.macys.com; Cropped tuxedo jacket for $128 on www.victoriassecret.com; Tuxedo style blazer for $34.80 on www.forever21.com.

Spring/Summer 2013 Trend: Caps

 

 

One of the more interesting trends that appeared on the SS2013 runways are caps.  (Above: DKNY; Alexander Wang; Catherine Malandrino; Rag & Bone.)  I guess this trend sort of falls in line with the idea of dressing more sporty and casual during the warmer months, but in my honest opinion I am not a huge fan of this trend.  But I suppose that a cap would be a great item to have if you are having a bad hair day!  If you disagree with me and are a fan of this trend, below are some cute caps for you to consider:  Burberry "Kenley" raffia peak cap for $450 on www.bloomingdales.com; Crocheted baseball cap for $6.80 on www.forever21.com; Studded front cap for $33.91 on www.asos.com; "Staring at Stars" embellished elephant hat for $39 on www.urbanoutfitters.com; Retro baseball cap for $5.80 on www.forever21.com; Shaded grosgrain cap for $38 on www.anthropologie.com; Cheap Monday "CM net" cap for $35 on www.shopbop.com; Collection XIIX colorblocked woven cap for $24 on www.nordstrom.com;  "Spark Plug" cap for $18 on www.nastygal.com; Rachel Zoe raffia newsboy cap for $110 on www.nordstrom.com; Suede cap for $40.69 on www.asos.com; San Diego Hat feather band cap for $32 on www.nordstrom.com.
