Best Ways to Style a Utility Jacket<\/h2>\n

By now, you know I am obsessed with the Utility trend. Don’t call it a trend because honestly, it never really seems to go out of style. I am still wearing cargo pants I bought years ago though some I did get rid of because they had shockingly low rises. How did I ever wear them? And though the low rise trend is returning, you won’t catch me and my almost 50 year old body in anything considered low rise, but I digress….<\/p>\n

Yes, I am obsessed with utility jackets. Dare I say, that if you are going to only add one item to your closet this spring it should be the best quality utility jacket you can buy? It will definitely be your most versatile piece of the season. There are countless ways to wear this one item. Honestly, I usually just keep mine in the car and throw it on over, any and every outfit, as needed for warmth in air-conditioned buildings or on cools summer nights.<\/p>\n

This jacket is also the capstone of many outfits I wear throughout the year. Wear it over a sweater for a little added interest without the bulk in the winter. A utility jacket was one, of only two jackets, I took on our European vacation last summer. The other being my trusty Madewell Denim Jacket<\/a> which you know is a must have for any closet. But actually, I think a good utility jacket is as versatile as a good denim jacket.<\/p>\n

Styling a Utility Jacket<\/h2>\n

Boho Vibe<\/h3>\n

First up, I paired my Madewell Surplus Jacket<\/a> with a bohemian style floral blouse. The blouse has complimentary muted colors in blue, pink and green. For a day look I paired it with comfortable tan booties. For an evening out with friends, I switched shoes adding a pop of color. The pink shoes bring out the subtle pink in the top\u00a0 I am really in to the baggy jeans look this season so I wore them with my Citizen of Humanity Corey Slouchy Slim Jeans<\/a>. You could just as easily wear this outfit with your favorite skinny jeans. For the summer I am really loving these<\/a>.<\/p>\n
