You most likely often come across photos of fashion bloggers or even models and might have wondered how to drape your jacket over your shoulders like them.
You might also be thinking "but a coat or jacket laying on my shoulder might not really stay in place for a long time"
Well that can be true.
But nonetheless, it can add a layer of warmth, and make your outfit look richer.
It is also easy to take off, and easy to put on the moment the weather becomes chilly.
So do you drape your jacket over your shoulders?
Well, Here are some #TSHStyletips just for you
1) It is extremely important to keep the "Length" of your jacket in mind. Incase you want to layer your clothes with a short jacket, "it is preferable that you wear a high waist skirt or pants underneath, in order to enhance your waistline and torso. If you want to go for the slung-coat look, your best bet is to wear a coat that's not too long in order for your outfit to look pulled together and not messy."

2) Since your shoulders are practically occupied, make sure to switch your handbag or shoulder bag preferably for a clutch or a cross-body bag, while draping your jacket over your shoulders.

3) Don't be afraid to mix patterns or colour block your fashion choices. Keep your outfit interesting and unique when you choose to layer your jacket over your shoulders.
4) It is also extremely important to remember that the fabrics of both your jacket and top should not be the same. Why? Since it can be hard for a jacket draped over your shoulder to stay in place, you want to ensure that the inner lining of your jacket is made of a fabric that won't make your jacket easily slip. For example, If you are wearing a silk blouse, then the lining of your jacket has to be of a different texture.
Extra tip - Over-sized jackets tend to stay over your shoulders for a longer period of time.
