Even though she later designed ladies jackets which had a resemblance to those of men. Up until now, famous designers have come up with different versions of the boyfriend jacket. The boyfriend jacket is supposed to be a ladies jacket with a touch of masculinity. It is a little bit longer and usually has white and/or stripped material sewn at the sleeve, where it is supposed to be rolled up. The boyfriend jacket has reached the same levels of popularity as the two fashion trends which influenced it: boyfriend jeans and the boyfriend shirt. But the boyfriend jacket has found new sophistication and is still seen gracing the catwalks this season. Boyfriend jackets are a hot trend right now even more than they were last season, because they are very versatile: they can easily be worn casually during the day, or can also be dressed up for any event with very little effort.

Nothing looks better paired with a boyfriend jacket than a white blouse. There is something about white blouses, they all look very classy.
