ON TREND
Grunge is back and here to stay! Army green military jackets seem to be a Spokane staple, and an easy color to add to those who seek a mostly neutral wardrobe palette. I ran into Alaina sporting this trend downtown. I thought longer length suited her height well. I discovered this unusual print version of a military jacket at Chosen Vintage, I think this kind of a neat outside the box take on it.
Tried and true black leather jackets of the 80s an and 90s are making a comeback. Taylor was the epitome of sass in her vintage leather jacket. The key to rocking this trend, is finding a jacket that fits your frame well, and this slightly cropped one is perfect on her! Fortunately for us Spokanites there are a number of places you can thrift a great leather jacket, so no need to break the bank buying new.
Audreana Camm: Taking to the streets to research what’s dominating local trends among Spokanites, and to catch those who stand out amongst the crowd.
STAND OUTS
Summer Hightower, owner of Veda Lux Boutique in Perry District, is the queen of unique vintage jackets. I caught her just casually rocking the most fabulous pink fur coat I’ve ever seen…on a Tuesday! Part of why this works so well is that this unusual shade of pink really flatters her skin tone. Why not join the fun and turn heads with a bold injection of color this fall? Stop by Veda Lux to snag your own one-ofa-kind jacket.
Little by little I’ve been seeing fur and faux fur make an appearance, around town, not to mention animal print has been making a comeback in high fashion circuits. DJ looks fabulous in her faux leopard print coat! It really dresses up her work wear ensemble. this is the kind of coat you can throw over day wear and suddenly look more glamourous and night out ready.
