If there's one thing that I can't say no to, it's a simple Lady Jacket. Popularized in the '60s by oversize gold buttons, bouclé and tweed detailing, and sharp, cropped silhouettes, the retro outwear style was the jacket of choice for both It girls and high-society women alike. With famous wearers like Princess Diana, Jackie Onassis, and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, these jackets have seen a huge surge in popularity recently, especially among the stylish Paris set.
Even though the timeless silhouette was once only associated with older stylish women, modern twists like slouchy cardigan iterations and minimal buttons have kept the jacket style feeling fresh over the years. Below, shop out the Parisian uniform of choice along with some other jaw-dropping Lady Jackets, bouclé jackets, and tweed jackets French women have been wearing for decades.
How to style: Pair your jacket with a simple miniskirt, vintage-style jewelry, and knee-high boots for a classic Parisian take on this decades-old classic.
