There's something special about a tailored jacket

Pairing a tailored jacket with a shirt is such a timeless look but it seems lately more and more people are rocking this trend to its fullest. The beauty of it is it's such a versatile look which can be dressed up or dressed down. It's the perfect look for work, but equally it works just as well as a daytime look or even if you're going somewhere super stylish at night.

All you need to add to this look is some skinny jeans or disco pants for that casual look while you're out and about in the day. Or if you're looking for a smarter look try a pencil skirt or maxi skirt. As we move in to spring and dispense with massive coats and loads of layers, this is a look that will see you right through spring in to summer.

We've put together five different looks for this trend, all of which use pieces on sale at Emma's shop - because of course if you're picking up a new jacket and/or shirt for this trend we advise you go vintage!

This look is so smart but would look equally as good with some skinny jeans in the day. The stripes work so well together and isn't the shirt just adorable!

 

This jacket looks like it was made to go with this shirt! The detail on the collar matches perfectly for an amazing look.

This look really brings a pop of colour in to your outfit! How adorable is this jacket and the colours on the shirt match it perfectly!

Another colourful look here with this Pierre Balmain jacket!

You don't always have to stick with a shirt, why not try different combinations and experiment with the look?!

Wear it twice Wednesday: doubling up your coats

Finally a trend that's as practical as it is fashionable! Not so long ago some very clever fashion fans started wearing not one but two coats to shows in New York - a trend which fast caught on over here during London Fashion Week. It's probably the simplest trend to wear without having to go to a lot of expense as all you'll need is two of your favourite coats. You could try mixing leather and fur, fur and tweed, different colours, similar colours, the list is endless! Or for a more elegant look why not try wearing one coat and draping the other over your shoulders?

The best thing about this trend is that not only will you be looking amazing as you walk down the street, you'll be helping keep out that bitterly cold wind! We've put together six different combinations for you to give you some ideas of how to rock the look! All of the coats featured below are vintage and available at Emma's shop.

This long tweed coat with a fur collar looks amazing with a leather jacket underneath. All you'd need to do with this outfit is add a pair of jeans and some heels and off you'd go looking a million dollars!

Don't these colours just look amazing together? This is a 50s blue coat teamed with a bright green blazer which will give you an amazing bold look.

You don't just have to stick to two completely different jackets when you're pairing them together. This is a tweed on tweed look which is just amazing and is a more subtle way to way the trend.

This is an example of how matching a similar print but different colours works really well. This gorgeous green tweed jacket with the red and blue checked one underneath is a really striking look.

If you've got a fur you want to incorporate in to this look, it doesn't always have to go on the top. Here the lightweight fur jacket is underneath a beautiful tweed Jaeger jacket.

If you're not sure you want to go for the full look straight away or once the weather warms up a little, why not try adding a fur collar such as this one to a coat like this amazing long leather jacket?
