Lace Bolero Jacket

1. Bolero Jackets as a Value-Addition to your Clothes

2. Bolero jackets have been in fashion since the early twentieth century. But the popularity diminished in the 1990s only to pick up in the latter part of the same decade thanks to Yves St. Laurent. The fashion guru re-introduced the bolero jacket on the ramp and it caught on again like a house on fire. It became so popular that women regardless of age or color made it an irreplaceable part of their wardrobes.

4. A bolero jacket is a short and cropped piece of clothing that is worn over another dress or outfit. It is open at the front and the ends are brought together with strings or laces. The jacket is somewhat similar to what is worn by matadors during bullfights. • For any woman, bolero jackets add value to the wardrobe. One wispy lace bolero jacketfor example can be matched with a range of dresses in summer to give a new look every time. Similarly, a heavy brocade or velvet bolero may be worn over a pretty dress in winter to keep out the chill. Hence, bolero jackets are considered versatile and flexible pieces of clothing that can be worn around the year.

5. The main advantage of bolero jackets is that it is an all-occasion outfit. A beautiful lace bolero jacket can be worn over jeans and a top for informal outings with friends and family or while on a trek or a hike. Then you have a very attractive brocade or silk bolero jackets that are perfect for a formal evening out or a dinner date. These jackets are often fully embellished with fur, beads, or crystal and make for a unique look. But then, these jackets do not come cheap and can set you back by a few hundred dollars, unlike a lace bolero jacket which is more affordable. • There is another benefit of bolero jacket though this is directly targeted at heavier and plumper women. It is generally seen that fat accumulates largely on the upper arms and around the midriff, stopping the women from wearing pretty sleeveless dresses. But this can be easily circumvented with bolero jackets. Take out a cute sleeveless dress in summer, wear a matching lace bolero jacket with half or short sleeves that conceal the upper arm and you will be ready to step out in style, regardless of your build or structure.   • Another guideline may be followed when you buy a bolero jacket. Since a jacket is worn over another dress or outfit, wear the clothing that you want to match the jacket with to the brick-and-mortar store. You will not only get a fair idea of how much the jacket complements the dress in all aspects like color and design but also how well it fits you. Remember that you will be wearing the jacket over other clothing so it should be a size bigger than what you wear.
