Functionality in fashion: The Bolero
In
all seasons, The Bolero is a functional piece that can change the look of any
outfit. It can be layered over a dress in the spring, paired with a white tank
in summer, used to complement a navy jacket with brown boots in the fall or as
a cover up for the holiday outfits. Varying in colors and fabrics, the Bolero
is a wardrobe staple.

Becky Miller discusses the Bolero in her article, “Ramblings on the history of
the Bolero jacket,” which is posted at http://indigobee.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/ramblings-on-the-history-of-the-bolero-jacket/.
In her article, she states, “Influenced by Spanish
styles and modified heavily over the years, the bolero jacket is still a
mainstay of fashion today. It is typically flattering to all body types. The
cropped hem emphasizes the waist by showing it off while optional padding at
the shoulders increases this effect by adding bulk to the top line. It can be
made of a variety of materials including cotton, silk, velvet, leather, fur,
and various fluffy fringed fabric” (Miller, http://indigobee.wordpress.com). This
gives customers the ability to find a Bolero that is unique to their own style.
