I start reaching for those lightweight jackets as summer bleeds into fall, using them to add some autumn flavor to warm weather outfits. I love a good jacket, and this olive green utility jacket has been my go-to for years. (Shop similar versions here and on sale here.) I love it for the slouch factor, the rolled sleeves, and the drawstrings. It’s subtly tough, which means it works nicely with a pair of ragged hem jeans. (H&M does it again.)
I balanced the outfit with a lace crop top and white leather loafers. (Hello, for $100, these are a great end-of-season score that will play nicely next spring + summer, too.) The main event? A pair of over-sized Fendi sunglasses from my pals at SmartBuyGlasses. Silver mirror with a skinny white + chrome profile? Why, yes, I thought you’d never ask.
Shop the look:
An outfit like this is perfect for travel (I’m coming off a weekend in Vegas and wore this exact olive green utility jacket on both flights to and from) or any of your standard weekend activities. And psst: you can score these Fendi sunnies at a legit discount (over $100 off retail!) from SmartBuyGlasses. Silver mirror isn’t your jam? They stock over 180 brands for your browsing pleasureâ and they also do prescription glasses. Bonus! I love SmartBuyGlass because they have some major brands, from classic Ray-Ban and Burberry, to more avant garde designers like Fendi and Celine. There’s a little something for everyone!
I’m looking forward to seeing if I can’t stretch the use of these loafers into fall + winter! I’m definitely not a “no white after Labor Day” type of girl. 🙂
Gosh, your green utility jacket is a perfect piece for every season! I love your outfit! It’s casual but hella funky (in like, a good way!) Hahah <3
I seriously want this outfit head to toe, no joke. I am loving those Fendi sunnies but I am dying over the loafers and the jeans. And that jacket is so nice and versatile. Great look to transition into early Fall, Ash. =)
This one is a winner! You need a utility jacket for sure, girlfriend!
I love utility jackets. So perfect for transitioning to fall (and spring!) and ideal for travel, too! Loved all the Snaps from Vegas. Although, I was a little freaked out of those canyons. I am SO scared of heights haha!!
They are seriously the best for transitioning summer outfits to fall! And hahahahaha, could you hear the TERROR in my voice on Snap being so close to the canyon’s edge?! It was crazy!
You’re so cute! I love how this is a lighter version utility jacket, just so pretty and fresh!
Lighter jackets are totally the way to go right now! 🙂 Thanks girlfriend!
I’m actually wearing my olive green utility vest today to work! One of the most versatile pieces. Love your jacket paired with the white! Thanks for linking up Ashley!
Love this olive jacket on you, and so pretty with white. I really love the pointed flats Ashley. HM does rock!
