Wrapped in Style: NYC’s Take on Statement Jackets


A jacket possesses the ability to define an entire outfit and convey a narrative. It’s the simplest method to introduce layers to a minimalist ensemble, effortlessly blending shapes and forms. Free People clearly understood this concept and launched their most elaborate collection to date, and we observed some individuals confidently incorporating these statement pieces into their personal style. Here are the outfits we noticed this week, which we affectionately refer to as: “The Jacket Moment.”

1. Animal Prints in Full Effect

8. Certainly a Knit Tight Season
