"A Lady Jacket is a classic, old-money style that adds a touch of sophistication to elevate any look. This wardrobe staple exudes refined elegance and is versatile. They can be styled in different ways and worn dressy or casually from work to lunch and dinner! They look chic layered over a tee, blouse, or shirt, with pants, skirts, jeans, or a dress. Rachel and I will be rocking this sophisticated lady-girl look all year long!" — Meyers

"This year, we are opting for a more subdued color palette by exploring the chic simplicity of wearing neutrals. This look offers endless versatility and styling opportunities, becoming the foundation for a look that effortlessly transitions from day to night. Adding a pop of color is a good idea with a fun bag or shoe, but otherwise, we like to keep it neutral." — Meyers
