A New Twist to the Cropped Jacket

Cropped jackets have been around forever, yet i recently stumbled upon some really unique cropped jackets, with hippie/ethnic/gypsy style decorations, beaded ornaments, and extravagantly wild prints and patterns. These jackets, each a beautiful piece of art for themselves are a great thing to slip over a pair of jeans and a tee- and just like that, your outfit is immediately unique and stylish.  (1. Willow White Linen Military Jacket, $1,205,  2. and 3. Premium Bejewelled Jacket $205, 4. Ostwald Helgason Cropped Gypsy Print Jacket $440)

I recommend pairing these with distressed, light to medium colored denim skinny jeans and a basic white tank or tee shirt. These jackets are a load of fun for everyone!
