The Patterned Blazer

Dans un monde où pullulent les tailleurs bleu marine tristes à mourir, c’est assez rafraîchissant de voir des femmes avec un blazer, une veste ou un manteau qui adhèrent à un peu plus d’audace. Personnellement, je trouve les motifs un peu délicats (trop girly, trop marqués, où trop je-ne-pourrai-jamais-remettre-cet-imprimé-parce-que-tout-le-monde-verra-que-c’est-celui-de-la-saison-dernière-et-c’est-trop-la-honte. Je rigole !

En tout cas, Rebecca, Erika et Georgia ont tout bon en associant une veste ludique avec un top dans les mêmes teintes un peu neutres. Ce qui aurait pu devenir un quart-d’heure YOUHOU-JE-SUIS-LA devient plus sobre, tendance « Oh, moi ? Oui, j’ai juste enfilé cette sublime veste au passage. » Si seulement on arrivait toutes à être classe avec autant de décontraction…

De mon côté, j’ai quelques fantasmes sixties que j’aimerais bien concrétiser… sous-pulls, tenez-vous prêts ! Cet automne, je me jette à l’eau, j’ai trouvé un blazer à petits carreaux marron, pour lequel j’ai plein d’idées de silhouettes en tête.

Vous avez une veste imprimée que vous adorez et qui squatte encore le fond de votre penderie ? Où qui vous a tapé dans l’œil sans que vous osiez sauter le pas ?

  • While I’m normally that boring navy suit girl, I have to say that I do own three printed blazes: one by American Vintage that has shoulder pads (you buy some crazy things when you visit Paris…but oddly enough I actually wear it a lot), one with stripes (do stripes count as a print?) and the other one is a black and golden tile inspired blazer (really weird but I find it quite elegant). I usually wear them with jeans or, again, boring monochrome pants but if you had my thighs, you’d hate printed trousers too!

  • A patterned jacket lets you do a column of pants/skirt with the same color top–or a dress–and not be boring.

  • It’s wonderful i love it but seriously a print is something you get tired after 2 time you wear it!!

    Georgia Tal! (L) Would love a Garance Dore profile of her!

  • Oh, yes! I have only two plain coloured coats/jackets: a long, oversized camel wrap coat on which I will hand sew a massive patch on the back, and an oversized, black leather biker jacket that is perfect with all the usual zips and epaulette.

    The rest of my outerwear is heavily embroidered, or patterned, or fringed, or all three. I love patterned outerwear for every occasion; not a big fan at all of plain anything, except maybe an olive cotton tshirt, or silk shirt.

    Patterns disguise my inability to keep absolutely pristine throughout the day- and it’s just so much nicer to be celebratory in clashing prints and disparate textures.

  • Love a print if it’s flattering. I have a printed jacket that I might have worn one too many times, so it sits in my closet now. Thinking that if I give it enough time, I can bring it out again like it’s new… Maybe?
