How to Wear Smart Jackets Casually – Getting The Most Out Of Your Wardrobe

We truly believe that wearing something beautiful can do so much; giving you more confidence, brightening your mood and just generally making you feel amazing!
That’s why we always encourage our customers to think of ways to wear their Shibumi silk and cashmere coats and jackets in more casual ways whether they’ve worn them for a wedding or special event and want to think of new ways to wear them, or whether you are looking for a jacket for every-day wear. This is a great way to really get the most from your wardrobe and gives you a chance to feel a bit more special on any day of the week, something we all need a little bit more of at the moment!
We’ve put together a selection of our favourite casual outfits that should be easy to style with things you already have in your wardrobe, and of course with your Shibumi jacket as the star of the show…
We hope these outfits will provide some inspiration for how to wear the Shibumi jacket you already own in a more casual way, or if you want to add another Shibumi to your collection, this is a great way to make sure it gets all the love and wear it deserves!
We have stock available for all the jackets mentioned below, so now is the perfect time to add one or two to your collection ;)
