We are talking about jackets, but not just any old jacket or blazer hanging in the closet. We’re talking about jackets with unexpected details like razor-sharp edges, extra-long lapels, lace fabric insets, extra zippers, zig-zagging cutouts, tubular arms, a woven leather necklace, or an oversized collar. The list of double-take worthy fashion-forward oddities goes on. Think of a statement jacket as an investment piece; you may be paying more for the extra attention to detail and eccentric design, but you’ll find yourself with a stylish lifesaver on those days when your wardrobe feels extra boring and bland.
