​Wow, this is such a beautiful piece!

It took me 3 visits to the Chanel Boutique that day to finally decide on this. I knew I loved it from the start and I always had it on my wishlist. Ah, the paradox of choice. 

Is there that one jacket in your wardrobe that you just can't seem to piece together? There's definitely one in my wardrobe, but it's not this one!

I did struggle at first with how bright this red colour was, but seeing as I consider red a branch off from the classics, I decided this would be the perfect 'pop of colour' for my wardrobe.

Vermilion is associated with symbols of love, marriage and eternity. This colour is found naturally in China via the mineral Cinnabar.

I purchased this Chanel Jacket from TheRealReal a few months ago. It is a sleek main with classic Chanel Chocolate Bar stitching and matching red lining. It truly packs a punch, but I've decided to pass it up.

I have listed this Chanel Jacket on my store Saving Glory where you can find another gorgeous Chanel Jacket in bronze size M. I have also paired it with some renewed gold toned accessories from Saving Glory Boutique.

Here are 10 ways on how to style your bright coloured jackets.

Daring for some, colour blocking your outfit remains a big trend for those who want an easy approach to pairing brights in their wardrobe. Match up and go.

Tip 1: Keep hair sleek in a parted pony tail or low bun, and makeup to a minimum. Effortlessly chic overall, but you don't want to add commotion to the intense burst of colour.
Tip 2: Turn this look from Corporate Chic, to Fashionista Fridays by swapping your plain black pumps to something like these Versace Mirrored Heels. 

Pairing your bright jacket with a neutral print and pencil skirt can be the right combination of casual for your office environment. Chic for the office with plain black or nude pumps. ​

Tip 1: Keep your party heels under your desk to swap out and you're ready to go!
Tip 2: Use a clutch as a carry-all for your handbag essentials (phone, wallet, swipe card, keys), and simply grab it and go as your cocktail purse after work.

Dressy, but not so formal. Enjoy lunch with your family, friends, or partner in style.
Appropriate for all of your favourite restaurants and cafes.

Tip 1: Wear a collared silk shirt to keep things preppy.
Tip 2: Swap out your high heels for a small block heel mules to play it down.
Tip 3: Add hoop earrings to soften your look.

A Casual Chic look combined here with your bright jacket.
​Relaxed and comfy in a neutral linen dress. 

Tip 1: Wear loose fitting dresses for a relaxed look.
Tip 2: Wearing a long necklace with dresses elongates the body.
Tip 3: Swap out your clutch for a hobo bag, or use it as a carry-all in your netted shopping tote.

Look sophisticated and glam by wearing your bright jacket out to the next birthday, christening, or family function.

Tip 1: Keep the top and skirt the same tone. Use your bright jacket to pack the ultimate punch.
Tip 2: Drop Pearl Earrings instantly elevate your look.
Tip 3: Match your hardware with your jewellery to create a more cohesive feel.

Wear this to a movie night out, or coffee date with Bae.
A mini skirt with simple top and boots (tights optional), will keep things playful.

Tip 1: Choose a skirt that has some matching colours to your jacket in its print.
Tip 2: Keep accessories neutral. 

Ever wandered around the city, stopping into shops and galleries? I'd wear this for a casual yet stylish look for exploring a city, new or old.

Tip 1: Create a completed look by matching your bright jacket to some equally bright shoes.
Tip 2: Wear a necklace that follows the shape of your neckline on your top.
Tip 3: Wear a skirt which picks up the colour of your jacket.

Weekends can be pretty busy so being comfortable is key.

Tip 1: Wear your favourite jeans and a simple top to balance out your bright jacket.
Tip 2: Minimalist style jewellery compliments your comfy look and adds a touch of glam.

Dress it up a bit with some sparkle! Comfortable and dressy for your cocktail night with the girls.

Tip 1: Make sure your sparkle isn't clashing. Pick an item with the same colour way as your jacket, or choose neutrals to play it safe.
Tip 2: Don't look overdone by wearing high heels. A simple block mule will do this outfit justice, and be extra comfortable too.

Jumpsuits are so sophisticated and so chic. I enjoyed seeing this trend make a comeback in recent years and I think they look super glam when worn to a wedding.

Tip 1: In my opinion, It's ok to wear white or ivory at a wedding when you're in a jumpsuit (I personally don't care about this colour choice at all, but I understand that it can be a sore point for other brides).
Tip 2: Pair with a long simple necklace to create an elongated effect.
