I wouldn’t refuse any of them if gifted to me, but the second one is by far my favorite. I love the late summer glimpses of fall jackets and coats.
I LOVE the last one – where is it from? The others seem a bit too fussy by comparison.

serious, but silly question- how do you transition these to winter? i love wearing blazers but when it’s gets cold, i feel ridiculous wearing them as my jacket, or layering them under a coat.
the last one reminds me of an older ralph lauren jacket i have…any more info on the second jacket?
I love the second one! But it’s how it hangs on her, I wish I was that skinny 🙁
That second jacket is absolutely identical to the one I bought a few weeks ago on sale at the Greenwich (CT) Zara a few weeks ago. Thanks to your inspiring Charlotte equestrian post. Now I’m doubly thankful I bought it, and can’t wait for some cooler temps to pull it out! Cheers- Laura from www.cocktailsandgelato.com
LOVE each choice! To BLL, I wear jackets layered under coats when it cools down. The trick is to find a coat with enough arm space to accommodate a jacket. I have an older (double faced wool, reversible) Narciso that does the job well. Yay for Fall!
I’m seriously coveting 2 and 4. Any details would be greatly appreciated.
I can’t believe how much these remind me of the early 90’s. All of them have a slight or overt military feel. The first and the last fall higher on the waist, I think, than the jackets we have been wearing (at 5’2 I find them hard to wear now but they are great on tall women). I remember distinctly wearing these shorter jackets with either high waisted pants or slouchy ones like Daria’s but nothing in between. It’s also interesting that 2 and 3 are nipped in at the waist- a departure from the slim, straight, boyish blazers of the last few years. I love that Paris Vogue is always showing us something new and fresh but also wearable and beautiful. I agree with the others- my favorite is 2.
First of all, Daria Werbowy can do no wrong in my book. Second of all, I pretty much died and went to heaven over that third jacket!
Best,

I can fit a trim jacket under my duffle coats because of the generous arm holes. Am thinking a cape may be the way to go, especially since i’ve gone on and on about wanting one…
The 2nd is very similar to a Calvin Klein one that I had years ago, and totally wore out (I loved it so!)
And a cape (or great winter wrap) is the ONLY way I will wear something over my jackets! Why not have both a great look and function when you can!!
Great post and fabulous jackets. To echo an earlier poster, 2 and 4 are wonderful! I think there is room in my wardrobe for at least one 🙂 Thanks for the post!
thank you robbi and preston for the input! definitely looking into a cape and i’ll have to try this with my wool coat once dc temps dip below 90 degrees.
