Sleeveless coats/long waistcoats continue for 2015

According to the magazines long waistcoats/sleeveless coats are going to continue to be popular for 2015. I was not sure about them at first but bought two this season and have found them extremely useful for in-between summer weather and when travelling in a chilly aeroplane. How I wore them last winter here and here.

I can envisage wearing them as an extra layer in the autumn/winter months. I also find them flattering as they cover up the bum/hip area. If you are petit choose a shorter option.

It makes a good transitional piece and now might be the time to invest as quite a few are on sale. They conform to my rule of sale purchases “buy classic and buy forward”.

Check out the Nordstrom Anniversary sale for what they“vests”. They also offer a great selection of classic jackets if you prefer sleeves.

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.

I don't own one, but you may have convinced me to try them on!
