Up Your Glamor in Bolero Jackets

 

A bolero jacket is worn over another dress and outfit and the two complement each other. Shrugs and boleros are often talked about in the same breath but there are fundamental differences between the two. A shrug is a cropped cardigan that stops at the waist, but boleros, especially those worn over an evening dress at formal occasions or plus size bolero go beyond the waist.

There are several benefits of bolero jackets.

·        Ideal for plus size women: Boleros are a blessing in disguise for women on the heavier side. Usually, they have fat centered around the upper arms and the midriff which makes them stop short of wearing pretty sleeveless dresses and other similar outfits. But by wearing a plus size bolero, these issues are taken care of. A sleeved bolero regardless of the length of the sleeves goes a long way to conceal the fat on the arms. It is an excellent opportunity for heavier women who can drape a plus size bolero over their shoulders and wear glamorous strapless and sleeveless evening dresses or casual wear like a sleeveless top or blouse.

·        All-weather jacket: There can rarely be a more versatile piece of clothing than the ubiquitous bolero jacket. In spring and summer, wear a lace wispy bolero in shocking pink or equally attractive and bright colors over a dress to lift your mood. On the other hand, a knit bolero or one stitched from thicker material will keep out the winter chill without taking anything away from the glam quotient. A knit plus size bolero is a great substitute for layers of woolens in winter. 

·        All-occasion jacket: Ever wondered how to add value to your wardrobe or breathe more life into your old dresses? Start wearing boleros over them. If you have a good collection of boleros, you can mix and match them with your old dresses to get a new look every time with the same outfits. Most importantly, boleros are all-occasion apparel. Wear a beautiful lace bolero over a pair of jeans and a top and go out for fun times with friends and family. On the other hand, wear a crystal-embellished bolero with formal evening wear and be the toast of any party or special event.

A bolero whether of standard size or a plus size bolero can light up any occasion.
