EASY LAYERING WITH WOMEN’S JACKETS
From summer to winter, there’s always a time to grab a jacket on your way out. Whether it’s lightweight jackets over tops for summer evenings, jackets to wear with dresses or warm jackets to wear with knitwear, Grae bestseller jackets cover all bases in inclusive sizes from XXS to XXL and 3XL.
BEST TYPES OF JACKETS FOR WOMEN
Functional and stylish, a great jacket can add the perfect finishing touch to an outfit all year round. Casual women’s jackets and blazers carry you through mild to cold weather, slipping over long sleeve tops for added warmth or accompanying a tank top as office attire.
In a range of weights and thicknesses Grae jackets on high rotation include:
- Lightweight and breathable cotton jackets - just enough to ward off a nip in the air without enveloping you in heavy layers.
- Women’s denim jackets - classic wardrobe essentials.
- A zip up jacket with hood - the soft and comfy jacket to pair with leisure pants and shorts.
- Linen jackets - the versatile option for casual, smart casual and office wear.
- Layer your way through the all seasons with in-vogue shackets - the ultra-comfortable, go-anywhere shirt-jacket.
You can upscale an outfit with a jacket and pants, while women’s jackets and midi or maxi skirts can visit a winery as easily as spending a day in the office.
STYLES TRENDING THIS SEASON
Our new arrivals have just landed and we’ve got the latest styles that are trending in women’s wardrobes everywhere. Move over parkas, anoraks and raincoats - this season’s essential outerwear for cold, wet days is the puffer jacket and puffer coat! Lightweight and waterproof, we have quilted jackets to keep you warm and on trend through winter. When the weather warms up, swap your long sleeve jacket for a puffer vest. Grae gilet vests are effortlessly casual and look fresh and modern layered over crisp shirts and basic tees.
The shacket is another new trend that’s here to stay. As the new transeasonal favourite, shackets are a cross between a shirt and a long coat with a relaxed fit and just enough warmth to see you through unpredictable weather. Our long quilted shackets have extra padding for extra cold days. Style them over tees and jeans, activewear, shirts and pants and more.
STAPLE JACKETS YOU CAN WEAR WITH ANYTHING
Staple jackets are reliable jackets you can wear year round that pair perfectly with all of your favourite pieces. Just like leather jackets and classic trench coats, the denim jacket is a fashion icon that belongs in every wardrobe. We have denim jackets in grey and mid blue washes to dress up or down with t-shirts, blouses, jeans, pants, skirts, dresses and more.
Women’s coats are winter staples and we have wool blend coats with a modern check print and rich palette to warm you up and keep you in style. Layer them over funnel neck jumpers, cardigans and long sleeve tops with pants and boots for a smart off-duty look.
When it comes to workwear, a structured blazer will take you from the office to a night out after work. Our longline blazers are sleek and sophisticated with a heavyweight knit fabric to keep you warm in the colder months. Swap your white shirts and trousers for leggings, a pretty blouse and heels for dressy occasions.
If the weather isn’t cold enough for luxe fleece jackets and teddy jackets, lighten up with a versatile shacket that can see you through the days between the seasons.
ACCESSORISING YOUR JACKET
The right accessories can add an extra lift to your jacket and pull your entire outfit together. Style scarves and beanies with a puffer jacket for an easy off-duty look that’s perfect for weekends and nights out. For special moments, our blazers can be layered over a midi dress and styled with statement earrings and a clutch. Denim jackets and brushed shackets are casual staples that can be elevated with a pair of nice flats, a cross over bag and some simple jewellery. Print jackets speak for themselves. Keep them the star of the show with understated accessories and a plain bag that matches one of the colours in the pattern.

WHAT JACKET CAN YOU WEAR WITH A DRESS?
Jackets and dresses go together like coffee and cake - you can have one or the other but there’s always a time when you need both together.
The quintessential women’s denim jacket slips easily over every Grae dress in your wardrobe. In sizes 6 to 24 to suit every body, Grae denim jackets in seasonal colours are your go-to jackets for wearing with:
Waisted jackets have the edge over long line jackets and shackets when it comes to stepping out with a dress, helping to define the waist when paired with both knee length, midi and maxi dresses.
Women’s blazer jackets can work well with smart casual dresses for work, daywear or evenings out. Try a t-shirt dress and a blazer with the sleeves pushed up for lunch dates, a blazer, midi dress and heels for business attire and a tailored blazer over an A-line dress for semi-formal occasions.
HOW SHOULD JACKETS FIT?
When you shop jackets online or visit your nearest Suzanne Grae store, you’ll see a range of designs and fits in women’s jackets. The one common factor is that jackets, shackets and blazers should always fit neatly across the upper back with the shoulder seams in alignment with the outer edge of your shoulders.
You can check the jacket size chart online using the Grae Size Guide which shows you how to measure correctly and transfer those measurements into your jacket size.
Loose fit jacket designs such as shackets may have a blousy look at the back, while others may taper in for a more tailored appearance.
Some jackets, such as bomber jackets, will sit at waist length, while other will sit on the hip or longer. The arms shouldn’t be tight, but also not too long, loose or baggy.
As a layering piece with long sleeve tops, jumpers or knitwear and Grae denim or linen bottoms, you’ll need a little room in the sleeves and body. But lightweight summer jackets typically worn over basic tees and sleeveless dresses can afford to flaunt more tapered or fitted designs.
