Said to be "The ultimate Forever piece" trophy jackets are a wardrobe staple and a seasonal must-have!

Wondering what defines a trophy jacket!?

"Trophy jackets are real status pieces and are assuming the position once held by 'It' bags," says Harriet Quick, fashion features director of Vogue , who coined the term. "They transform outfits and slick up anything from jeans to tube dresses. They vary in silhouette, but all are highly decorative and have big identities."



So it goes to stand that trophy jackets are slightly chameleon in nature in terms of the way they differ depending on the wearer. But their lavishness transcends shape and cut - announcing that the jackets themselves are the 'IT' feature of any outfit.



Hyper prints and bold colour schemes, dramatic silhouettes and classic tailoring all takes there place amongst this seasons trophy trend, which allows for the wearers personal tastes to play a major part in this movement - it's not the 'IT' item that defines the wearer (as the 'it' item has no clearly cut definition) so instead it's the wearer that declares the jackets 'IT' status. So forget the mundane
nine-to-five workwear offerings, as they just won't cut it this season and opt for the new crop of sharp, sculpted blazers, slouchy, oversized tuxes, soft leather bikers and textured silk jackets for a fashion-forward statement this spring. Daring to wear this bold design will ensure you have a staple that will never lose resonance.



The favorable this about the new 'IT' item - the trophy jacket, is that with this alone you will stand out in a crowd!
Pair it with a simple white T Shirt and a pair of jeans or moncolured top and trousers - this way your striking jacket remains the centerpiece alongside a rather simply getup. This all makes the trophy jacket possibly one of this seasons simplest items to style. Minimal accessorizes
needed and minimal fuss (as it's all in the jacket!)
Although their flamboyance means they are better suited for the evening - just keep that in mind before sauntering out of the house all shoulder pads and glitz and extreme applique glamor!
