There’s nothing like a well-executed jacket to perk up a tired wardrobe (well, except for a to-die-for bag, but I digress). Especially a blazer with design elements that catch you off-guard. Which is why I love, love, love Malene Birger’s sharp little spring jacket. Buttonless with a built-in vest, it would instantly pull together any look, but keep yours sleek and polished. You wouldn’t want to detract from the great, flattering fit. It’s verging on a tuxedo cut, with the lack of collar making it more streamlined. The raised hem in the back shows off your booty, and the button-fastened cuffs give you plenty of room to play with sleeve length. Dress it down with an off-colored tank or switch up your cocktail attire and wear it with a pair of lean trousers. At Net-a-Porter for $630.
Pair with: Speaking of wardrobe-enliveners, Jason Wu’s “Lauren” python clutch would make me excited to wear almost anything, especially because of the hot pink shade. Both pieces are classics that will last for seasons to come.
