Ok you may find yourself sitting next to someone wearing the same Zara jacket on the tube but who cares? They’re affordable, wearable and best of all, you can own more than one….
I have found that for traveling in and around cities these are totally essential pieces. They work over a little black dress, smart pants and shirt and, most usefully dress up jeans and a casual top wherever you’re going to dinner, making city break packing so much simpler, two pairs of jeans (one indigo, one black or white if it’s going to be very hot), one shirt, two t-shirts, one great little jacket, sneakers and heels and what else could you possibly need?
So before these have departed the stores (a couple of these almost have) invest in a little tweed or boucle jacket and either add to your collection or discover just how flattering and easy they are to wear.
