Jackets for women come in a variety of cuts, materials and colours. The repertoire of women’s jackets is a broad one: An athletic jacket for the next trip to the gym, a blazer for the next special occasion, a beautiful, warm fleece for a rejuvenating walk outside, a robust leather jacket or down jacket. In the summer, one should have something to keep them warm for the cooler evenings. A bolero, a shawl or short-sleeved jacket go particularly well with a little black dress. The jacket has a long history: In France in the middle ages, the peasants were named ‘Jaques’ as a nickname as this name was a common one. The peasant uprising of 1358 was also called the ‘Jaquerie”. It may seem unimaginative, but it really was from this period that the concept of ‘Jaque’ and ‘Jaquette’ came about.
