Looking to build a wardrobe that works season after season? Start with outerwear. A well-curated collection of jackets and coats adds structure, polish, and practicality to any outfit, no matter the season. At Camargue Fashion, we believe in investing in versatile pieces that elevate your style effortlessly.
In this guide, we’re highlighting the 4 must-have outerwear pieces you should own: a trench coat, leather jacket, blazer, and denim jacket. These pieces are timeless, easy to style, and endlessly wearable.
1. The Trench Coat: A Timeless Must-Have
First on the list of must-have outerwear pieces is the iconic trench coat. Equal parts practical and elegant, the trench is perfect for transeasonal weather and instantly elevates any look. Whether worn open or belted, it brings an effortless sophistication.
How to Style a Trench Coat:
-
Office Look: Layer over tailored pants, a cotton shirt, and loafers. Cinch the belt for a defined silhouette.
-
Casual Days: Style with denim, a striped tee, and sneakers for a polished weekend uniform.
-
Evening Edit: Drape your trench over a slip dress and pair with heeled boots for a refined night-out outfit.
Hot Tip:
Choose neutral tones like beige, tan, or navy for maximum versatility or for a fashion-forward twist, try a trench in a bold hue or with modern detailing, like the Cordera trench coat in Fento.
2. The Leather Jacket: A Cool Girl Essential
No outerwear collection is complete without a leather jacket, the ultimate blend of edge and versatility. Whether you prefer a classic biker jacket or a sleek minimalist cut, this is one of those must-have outerwear pieces that never goes out of style.
How to Style a Leather Jacket:
-
Everyday Cool: Pair with denim jeans, a relaxed tee, and boots for an edgy, casual look.
-
Soft & Structured: Layer over a silk slip skirt or floral dress to contrast textures and tones.
Camargue Tip:
A well-made leather jacket will soften over time and mold to your shape, becoming better with age. We recommend ARMA for high quality leather jackets.
3. The Blazer: Structure Meets Style
A blazer is a staple that works far beyond the office. Tailored or oversized, it adds instant structure and refinement. As one of the top must-have outerwear pieces, a blazer bridges the gap between polished and relaxed, perfect for layering all year round.
How to Style a Blazer:
-
Workday Polish: Pair with matching trousers or a midi skirt and a tank or blouse for a sleek, modern suit.
-
Casual Chic: Throw over a white tee and denim with sneakers for a high-low mix that feels intentional and cool.
-
Evening Ready: Style with a satin cami and leather pants or a mini skirt for a confident, after-dark outfit.
Camargue Tip:
Fit is everything, look for sharp shoulders and clean lines. Start with a neutral tone like black, camel, or grey, then explore seasonal prints or bold colours to switch things up. One of our favourite blazers right now is the Golden Goose Double Breasted Wool Blazer.
4. The Denim Jacket: The Everyday Hero
Last but never least on our list of must-have outerwear pieces is the denim jacket. This casual classic layers beautifully and adds effortless cool to nearly any look. From off-duty outfits to light transitional layering, it’s endlessly wearable.
How to Style a Denim Jacket:
-
Double Denim: Mix different denim washes for a modern take on the Canadian tuxedo.
-
Over Dresses: A denim jacket worn over a summer dress makes for an easy go-to look with balance and contrast.
-
Transitional Layering: Wear under a trench or coat in cooler months for an added layer of texture and warmth.
Camargue Tip:
Denim jackets don’t need to be basic, you can choose something with a little more interest like the Mother Denim The Loop De Loop Jacket, or you can find a more classic style like the ACNE Studios Rowan Denim Jacket.
