On the cusp of such a colorful season, there’s no good reason why your autumn attire shouldn’t reflect the richness of the changing leaves, the bountiful harvest, and the tumultuous skies. Jewel-toned jackets – be they sapphire, ruby, emerald, topaz or amethyst-hued – are striking and timeless, not to mention a great way to bring a little bling into your life without emptying your bank account.
Outfit 1: Besides playing mediator between the brisk fall breeze and your spoiled summer skin, tailored jackets evince a look that is both sharp and mature. While a neutral option is a wardrobe necessity, visually titillating selections like this deep sapphire suit jacket add depth and intrigue to your look. Contrasting textures – such as the classy sheen on this jacket’s lapels – make a piece more memorable and eye-catching while contributing to the gemstone theme.
Outfit 2: If you were to find yourself eye-to-eye with this boss, there would be no question about why emeralds are amongst the most valuable and desirable of gemstones. Again, texture enhances the richness of this majestic green hunting jacket, and a coarse, chunky scarf adds contrast. Whether paired with matching trousers or alternative bottoms, a piece such as this is masculine and classic, an absolute treasure to behold.
