If all the denim jackets in the world were as nice as this one, we think the world would be a prettier place.

Not that we have anything against denim jackets, per se, you understand but imagine: if all the people who currently wore them suddenly looked all chic and stylish, and a little bit like they'd just stepped out of some French movie set in The Time of Better Tailoring, we wouldn't exactly be complaining.

This particular jacket is by L'Autre Chose, and while the denim fabric makes it technically a "casual" piece, wear it, as shown, with a pair of cotton trousers or capris, and you'll look instantly smarter than you would have done in a regular old denim jacket.

It's £170 from Yoox.com.

We mentioned last week that we've been loving the look of biker jackets lately, but if leather is too expensive (or you just don't want to wear it), there is an alternative that's looking pretty good too: jersey. These three jackets won't just look good, they'll keep you warm, too (and be soft enough to wear at home if you're a fellow Cold Person), and although only one is in a traditional "biker" shape, we love the shape of all three of these, and think they'll be the perfect way to add just a little hint of biker style to your outfit.

  Being the retro fashion fiends we are, as soon as we laid eyes on this little gingham jacket, our hearts beat faster and we started imagining it worn with everything from capri pants to jeans, and maybe with a pencil skirt if we wanted to really dress it up.

Then we looked at the price tag,

$2,860. Lordy! Pass us our smelling salts! It’s cute, yes, and it is Dior, so the price shouldn’t really come as too much of a surprise, but even so, readers, even SO.

We’re going to wait for the (hopeful) high street copy to come out. You, meanwhile, can purchase this one at eLuxury, if you so desire.

  The Fashion Police are all about jackets right now. This has worked out quite well for us, actually, because there are a lot of jackets around to love at the moment: leather biker jackets, slouchy tuxedo jackets, trenches (OK, so they tend to be coats rather than jackets, but still…) and now this asymmetric fitted jacket from Miss Selfridge,which is £45, but has a hint of the Vivienne Westwood about it that we appreciate.

We love the sharp tailoring on this, and the fact that the flared hip area helps make the waist look smaller. The asymmetric design, meanwhile, makes it that little bit unusual, and it’s the kind of design that’ll look equally good worn over a dress/with a skirt, or thrown on casually with jeans.

Fashion Police commendation for Miss Selfridge, please!
