The replicas first made their appearance last fall in the runway collection of Balmain. Balmain presented two modernized versions of Jackson infamous military style jacket. The most popular is the black with silver and crystal detail, also comes in denim. Obviously for the most elite, this jacket starts at $11,000 and has been spotted on the celeb shoulders of Beyonce’ and Rihanna.
Because Jackson is such a household name, would you expect anything less from garments inspired by him? This spring, Alice and Olivia & Arden B. have introduced their own versions. Alice and Olivia has the black jacket starting at $400, still the same boxy frame but with a sprinkle of embellishment to the lapel and the shoulders-an eye-catching piece to add to any closet. Carrie Underwood was even caught sporting hers heading to Jimmy Kimmel Live.
For those of us who don’t receive the paycheck of Grammy nominated recording artist, you can grab one from Arden B. for $78. This jacket comes in navy, has a rounded shoulder and mandarin collar instead of a cross lapel and is more of a confederate twist to the King of Pop standard. Also the embellishment is done in gray instead of silver for those who love the style but not the sparkle.
Like the records, these jackets can be appreciated by just about anyone. Pair it with a tee and some distressed denim or jazz it up with pleated front shorts and gladiator sandals. However you choose to rock it, Make it your own, He sure did!
