Featured Fashion Questions

Dear Cathie,
I just bought a suit blazer. Gray and cropped. Is it OK to wear with jeans in the Fall, or do I need to get a more casual blazer for the outfit?

A cropped gray suit blazer (meaning short and a bit fitted at the waist) should look great with jeans this fall. Be sure to try the outfit on and do a mirror test before you wear it. If you feel it is flattering on you by all means go for it. When in doubt don't!
