As it comes into the cooler months we are all hunting out a jacket to keep the wind and rain off. It will keep us going as outerwear for a few months, before becoming great indoors wear when the weather gets so bad you need a coat.

A good jacket really needs to be pretty as well as functional, which is probably why the choice of genuine and faux leather jackets are huge this year. They are able to walk that fine line between casual and dressy, look just as good with a pair of jeans as they do with a floral dress. My biggest bargain has to be the leather jacket from The Warehouse which is an unbelievable $99.95, more affordable than a lot of its counterparts that aren’t using real leather!

Another favourite is the silk crop jacket from Souley, a great piece to wear during the night or dressed down for the weekends, whilst the metal yarn jacket from Staxs has enough runway ready direction to keep the fashionista set happy.
