MY NEW AVIATOR JACKET.
Outerwear is certainly the most important element of any fall outfit.
Why? It's the first, and sometimes, the only thing that people will notice while you're out and about during the colder months. 
The right jacket has the power to effortlessly elevate a casual jean and T-shirt outfit. And the light and short coverups can hold their own next to your fanciest dress. 
This is what happened to the aviator jacket, which has become a high street garment, after being "on" since several seasons, and it has spawned many synonyms such as bomber, or biker jacket, or flying jacket. This in itself is a sign of an important fashion trend followed by designers, who were at the forefront of giving the seal of approval to this jacket that has cropped up in many guises this past decade.
                                            
The best part of this trend: There's no need to spend a ton of money to make a statement. You can get a head-turning fall jacket for about 150 euros. And if you know what to look for, while shopping, you can bring home an option that you can wear season after season.
Such is the case of the aviator jacket I've bought this fall from Motivi: a very versatile and functional piece in black butter soft lambskin with the edgy, chunky details of an extra belt added at hip level and zippered cuffs. And its extra added value of a fox-fur collar + warm lining allows me to wear this outdoor wind-cheater piece throughout the whole season. 
Moreover, if you had a crush on this trend and want to choose a jacket that is wearable also during freeze days, designers created shearling versions of this piece. 
Matching this statement piece with other fashion garments, for a luxury look, is lots of fun, since it allows infinite combinations: with either a pair of black jeans for casual street-style, or midi / mini skirts and large pants for a contemporary feel, or long & short ditsy floral dresses for winter boho, or below-the-knee brocaded skirts and suede boots, or sequined skirts & dresses for a seventies' flimsy evening inspiration...
