When my work wardrobe needs a pick me up, I always choose a jacket or blazer. Why? Because you can layer a new topper over other pieces that you love to create a great new outfit. It’s the perfect thing to perk up a favorite dress or get a few more miles out of a staple blouse. And if you pick the right jacket, you don’t need to spend a fortune for a fashion boost. Here are seven great picks all under-$100.
Mango Embroidered Cotton Jacket ($17)
ASOS Crepe Slim Jacket ($64, also in petite and plus)
LOFT Tweed Bell Sleeve Jacket ($90)
Nine West Open Front Blazer ($79)
Can you do a version of this for good quality staple jackets that are still stylish, in the $100-$200 range?
How did I not know Mango Outlet was a thing?! Is the quality comparable to regular Mango?
It is Mango. Like a clearance page.
Does Mango run a bit small and slim (like Theory) or is it true to size?
I always found it to be true to size.
In regards to Mango. Mango Outlet is just clothing on deep discount from regular prices. I wanted a pair of their wax coated jeans, but did not want to spend the full $100.00 on such a trendy item. I stalked them for months until they hit the outlet section at $30.00 and pulled the trigger at that point. I honestly don’t think the quality of the product justified the original price tag, so I’ll mostly shop the outlet section at this point .
As for sizing…..I shop their Violetta (plus size) range. I am 14-16 in straight size and purchased the jeans in size 16. I found the waist to be a bit big, but nothing that a trip to my tailor couldn’t fix. I’d suggest ordering your regular size and a size down and just returning what doesn’t work.
