Cream summer jacket

A cream jacket can be one of the most useful wardrobe items. It is extremely versatile. There are a variety of special occasions where a cream jacket would come in handy. It could equally well be dressed down with a pair of jeans and flats or sneakers.

I purchased the one I am wearing last year from Zara. This year there are an even wider range of cream jackets in various styles and fabrics available in the shops and online.

I have added a touch of the modern and on trend by teaming my classic cream jacket with a pair of new style wide ankle length trousers by MeandEm. and a classic black tee also by MeandEm. I have added a pair of black medium heel court shoes. Some years old (similar John Lewis and Nordstrom). If heels are not your thing and I do admit that I mostly wear flats these days; you could easily substitute a dressy pair of flats for the heels.

Once again I have chosen a clean monochrome look. For smarter occasions this appears to be my go to option.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  Hi Jill
  No excuses but I have had a bit of a chaotic week. It is Zara (that well known High street chain) not Sara. The jacket is from last year. I have popped in a few times this year and have not found their collection so good and the quality of the fabrics seem to have declined.

Really simple outfit & very flattering - no need to pile on accessories . I'm so messy though & it wouldn't look the same with dirty splodges!
