Doing grown up elegance best

Jaeger are the epitome of a 'grown up' brand. While, I love their elegant cuts and chic designs, being labelled grown up can sometimes be a polite way of saying 'boring.' But, according to their recent LFW catwalk show, their spring/ summer collection is full of gorgeous pieces, true to their classic brand but with a sharp modern twist.

I adore this silk black tipped jacket. It's boxy shape would make a lovely contrast to a floaty dress and the shimmery blue colour adds a bit of a playfulness to it. Plus, I LOVE the black tipping and the lapel - I'm a sucker for tuxedo jackets.

And who can go wrong with a monochrome dress (below) that looks like it's just landed out of the 60s? That and some colourful block heels and you have the perfect outfit.

The elegance and chicness of the brand makes a nice contrast from the garish outfits seen on Lady Gaga, Rihanna etc. While I admire fashion experimentation, sometimes it's nice to be a little bit sophisticated...
