One of the most popular items for warm weather months can also be among the more difficult styles to pull off. Colored denim re-emerges every Spring as a welcome change, but one with a condition: with very few exceptions, the fit of colored denim is cigarette (aka toothpick) or skinny. Many pear-shaped women who aren’t as comfortable with this style or those who simply prefer a looser feel, will be out of luck.

The solution is a colored denim jacket, like this coral Pilcro from Anthropologie, which pairs as well with your blue jeans and a tank as a neutral summer dress. Remember that jean jackets are supposed to fit snug to the body, so buttoning them up is not necessary.
