Fashion Brief
It might sound fairly useless, but over the last few years, the sleeveless jacket has become a failsafe addition to any clever fashion insider’s wardrobe. The best ones add an easy smartness to an outfit – see the classic knee-length collared number worn by Beth. But, now that the sleeveless jacket has been in circulation for a few seasons, it comes in different guises. See Pam’s wool one, or the bright white version worn with jeans by Maddie. It can go with anything, too – from Sylviane’s denim dress to Gloria’s sweater and trackpants. The sleeveless jacket: versatile, easy and, above all, useful.
