Fashion: White Jacket Love Affair

When building a stylish, year-round wardrobe, versatility is the name of the game — and a crisp, white blazer is the ultimate seasonal chameleon.

During the summer months, it’s the perfect, light-reflecting layer to wear over a cocktail dress at a garden wedding.

Come fall, combine this slim-fitting jacket with more masculine, tailored pieces, like a pair of cropped, black trousers and an oversized boyfriend sweater, à la Katharine Hepburn.

Sure, you might have to keep a Tide to Go stick handy, but the potential hassle is totally worth the style payoff.
