A cropped, structured jacket with a stand collar and three quarter sleeves. Geometric crystal embellishment covers it, and a concealed front fastening opens to a keyhole at the neckline.

The Saint in Liquorice: a black cropped jacket with crystal along the neckline, front edges, cuffs and hem. The quietest of the three.

How to wear a sequin jacket
Put shine on one half of the body. A sequin jacket over a plain gown, plain trousers and a silk slip dress looks deliberate; over a sequin dress it competes. Cropped jackets suit gowns and high waisted trousers; blazer lengths suit jeans and a tuxedo trouser. Three quarter sleeves like the Fever’s leave room for a cuff. For day, a sequin blazer with a white shirt and denim is the easiest way in.
| Occasion | Jacket | Wear it with |
|---|---|---|
| Black tie | Jenny Packham Fever in Illusion | A black column gown |
| Winter wedding guest | Jenny Packham Fever in Verdigris | An ivory crepe dress for the evening |
| Christmas party | Simon Miller Leon Sequin Blazer | Black trousers and a satin camisole |
| New Year’s Eve | David Koma sequined cropped jacket | A black mini dress |

Frequently asked questions
Is a sequin jacket formal?
It can be. Over a floor length gown it is black tie; over jeans it is a party look.
Does Jenny Packham make sequin jackets?
Jenny Packham’s evening jackets are crystal embellished: the Fever ($4,260) and the Saint ($4,050).
What do you wear under a sequin jacket?
Something plain: a silk camisole, a crepe gown, a fine knit.
How do you care for a sequin jacket?
Dry clean only, as the Fever’s label says, and hang it on a padded hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.
How does Jenny Packham sizing work?
Gowns, jackets and capes are made in UK 6 to UK 20, and a UK 10 is a US 6 and an EU 38. Every piece in the 15 November drop is listed as fitting true to size. See the Jenny Packham size guide for the full chart.

Pointed Toe Pumps: How to Wear Kitten, Mid and High Heels
To wear pointed toe pumps, choose the heel height for the occasion and let the toe do the lengthening: pick designer heels with a pointed toe to extend the line of the leg under trousers, midi skirts and maxi dresses, and keep the hem short enough to show the point. A kitten heel suits long days, a mid heel suits almost everything, and a high heel is for evening. The Solstice Pump 65 from Zimmermann at Coveti is the worked example: a mid heel, pointed, laced patent pump.

How to Wear a Headband: The Jeweled Headband Guide
To wear a headband, choose one of the designer hair accessories shaped to suit your face, set it about two finger widths behind your hairline, push it back until it grips just behind the ears, and let a little hair fall forward over the front edge so the band sits into the hair instead of on top of it. A jeweled headband follows the same rule but asks for simpler hair and a quieter neckline, because the band itself is the ornament. Wear it with one strong piece of clothing and keep everything else calm. Our examples come from Zimmermann at Coveti, whose padded velvet band has just arrived.
How to Style Loafers for Women: Trousers, Dresses, Socks
To style loafers, treat them as a tailored shoe and dress around the hem: wear designer loafers for women with cropped straight trousers that show the whole shoe, wide trousers that just graze the vamp, and skirts and dresses when the loafer carries a small heel. Match the finish to the setting, patent for polish and evening, woven leather for warm days and linen. The two Astor styles from Zimmermann at Coveti show both ends of that range, one in mahogany patent and one in olive handwoven nappa.
Cork Sandals: How to Style, Wear and Care for Them
Cork sandals use cork, a light and springy bark, in the sole, the footbed and the heel, so they cushion the step and keep the foot cooler on hot ground. To style designer sandals with cork, treat the cork as a natural texture, like linen and raffia, and pair it with relaxed summer fabrics in pale and earthy tones. A flat cork sandal suits daytime, a wedge suits dinners. The Riviera Sandal from Zimmermann at Coveti is the worked example in this guide.
