Photos: The Social Shopper: The Utility Jacket

As industry insiders hustling from show to show know all too well, this is the week when functionality is impressively fashionable. Enter the utility jacket. Worn with an embellished top and jeans as spotted in Zagreb, Croatia by Street: Style: Seconds, the military-inspired staple makes for a look that’s brimming with cool cred. But thrown over a filmy dress and ankle boots, it anchors that softer glamour with a just-tough-enough edge. Rely on your basic instincts: No matter how you wear it, the utility is the perfect outer layer for this time of year, when sunny afternoons swiftly turn to crisply cool evenings.
