This pink, leopard print blazer is what we fashion-folk call a great investment piece.

Bold, yes… but also very flattering. This particular shade of pink looks great on pretty much everyone – from platinum blondes to glossy brunettes and everyone in between.

And leopard print never goes out of style. Case in point: here, here, here and here.

All that aside, it’s just a whole lot of fun – I challenge you to pop on this jacket, team it with a bright pink lip and not feel even just that little be happier for it.

Christopher Kane leopard blazer, $975

Fashion has often taken inspiration from military uniforms – think bomber jackets, sailor pants, camouflage prints, epaulettes and cargo pockets. My favourite however would have to be the gold button.

Originally found on military dress-jackets, the gold button is like the CIA operative of fashion, working best on their own*

Once added to a tailored blazer, there is no need for further accessorisation with these chic little baubles. They do all the work.

*Too much? One too many Jason Bourne movies, maybe?
