Style Guide: Embellished Jackets

Embellished jackets do most of the work for you. Embroidery, beadwork, appliqué, decorative trims — each brings texture and character in a single layer. The approach is straightforward: let the jacket set the tone, then build everything else around it.
Evening Polish
Start with something fluid or softly reflective — satin trousers, a silk skirt, or subtle metallics. Keep the base pared back so the jacket holds the spotlight. Finish with a pointed heel or elegant flat and a compact evening bag. Jewelry stays minimal.

Satin or midi skirt; Heel or pointed flat; Small clutch or structured bag; Tassel Belt; Beaded or sculptural jewelry
With Denim
This is where embellishment meets ease. Straight or barrel-leg jeans anchor the look, while a clean tee or fine knit keeps things simple up top. Bring in color through shoes, a bag, or jewelry — a bright pump, a statement crossbody, or sculptural earrings add Julia’s signature energy.
Shop the edit: Relaxed denim; Classic tee or lightweight sweater; Color-forward bag; Everyday flat or low heel; Statement earring
Casual, Elevated
Treat the jacket as part of your regular rotation. Style it with loose trousers or worn-in jeans and a tank or tee, then layer in richness through hue or texture — a bold sandal, patterned flat, or vibrant accessory. This is where personality comes through, without sacrificing polish.

What to Look For
Focus on craftsmanship: dense embroidery, secure beadwork, clean finishing, and strong shoulder structure. Look for thoughtful placement of detail — stitching, appliqué, or decorative trims — so the embellishment feels balanced. Neutral bases and rich tones offer the most versatility.

The Cold Weather Investment Edit

Cold weather challenges wardrobes to earn their credibility. This edit centers on pieces with presence, outerwear and layers defined by material, construction, and detail. These aren’t everyday basics. They’re specialty buys: shearling and calf hair that bring texture, tailored coats with intentional proportion, statement knits, and jackets finished with trims, embroidery, or sculptural shapes. Each piece offers something beyond function, whether it’s craftsmanship, fabric story, or silhouette.
The focus is on quality you can see and feel. Substantial weight. Thoughtful construction. Finishes that elevate even the most minimal outfit. A great coat should hold its own. A sweater should bring dimension through color, stitch, or pattern. Accessories should introduce contrast through texture and form.
These are pieces you buy now, wear immediately, and return to next winter without hesitation, investment dressing built for longevity, not a single season. Designed for repeat wear, they move easily between polished looks and relaxed days while maintaining their character. Let the details carry the season.

Craft as Luxury
Valentino Garavani Jacket, The Elder Statesman Sweater, Dries Van Noten Pants (old, similar here and here), Valentino Bag
Texture, embroidery, fringe, and hand-finished details set the mood, bringing a sense of artistry back into dressing. Beaded jackets, brocade minis, silk twill pants with fringe, and richly patterned blouses lean into craftsmanship, where fabric and finish do the talking. These are pieces that feel layered with character, decorative, tactile, and designed to be noticed.
The beauty is in the details: dimensional trims, intricate motifs, sculptural bags, and jewelry that adds warmth and polish. It’s expressive dressing with an elevated point of view, combining color, pattern, and texture in a way that feels collected, thoughtful, and effortlessly chic. Each piece carries its own presence, inviting styling that feels personal rather than precious.

Pair this statement skirt with simple knits or tailored tops to balance volume and movement.
