The Ruffled Jacket

“Simplicity is the ultimate Sophistication”.?When I first heard this phrase a few years ago, it immediately resonated with me for some reason. I couldn’t put a finger on why it did, at the time, but it just did.

Over the years, I have found that my style is ever evolving. I don’t really follow trends, or style rules.?However, the one thing I always keep in mind is that simplicity is, truly the ultimate sophistication.

Hence, if I do have an element that is a little over the top, I ensure that the rest of the outfit is simple and understated. This allows that statement piece to stand out and have its moment. The statement piece can be anything, a top, skirt, dress, bag, shoes or like in this case, the jacket.

Although the big ruffled sleeve and the layered texture of the fabric of?this jacket make it a statement piece, I have kept the rest of the outfit simple by teaming it with a black cami and skinny black jeans, black sandals and a simple black bag.

What is your favourite, statement piece in your wardrobe?

  7. I totally agree!! I usually have one piece on me that is a bit of a statement, but the rest is understated. I think if it’s more than one, you are going to look back and say “what was I thinking?!?!?” I adore this jacket and those sleeves!! So pretty!!

    Also, I asked my photographer about his lens bc I am photography illiterate 🙁 This was his response – “It’s a trifecta of camera, lens and lighting…any one of those go south and the image would not pop. Camera D4 Nikon Lens 70-200 f2.8 lighting off camera Profoto B1.”

    So that was a different language to me, I hope it makes sense and helps!!

  22. What a wow jacket, I love the sleeves! And the textural details. You look so chic in this outfit, Deepti! I also admire your style mindset, keeping it one bold item at a time so the focus can be all on it. I also love your lip color, it’s pretty 😀 xoxo
