Magic Trick

 

 

Question: If I told you that you had to wear the jacket to three holidays parties this week, all in the same night, what jacket would you pick? Something black? Simple? Forgettable? A blazer perhaps? I would pick picked a suede jacket rendered in bright brown because I laugh in the face of a challenge. (That’s an assumption.) (Suede!)

Styling a suede jacket for a holiday party is quite easy. I like to go for a monochromatic black look. This is one of those too cool for school looks that walks the line between too casual and slightly dapper.

It’s the kind of look that will result in  a boy coming up to talk to you and after a few exchanges will ask if you work in fashion. And you”ll be all like, “How did you know???”

Anyway, a jacket is arguably the best thing suede could be uses for. Other then maybe a loincloth cloth.
