Elegant jackets… circa 1940s-1950s

What the mid-20th century woman lacked in clear opportunities, she gained with the subtle influence of her presence and precision.  That critical first impression was even more important then.  An elegant, exquisitely tailored jacket that suggested seductive curves gave her the maximum impact.  The modern stylish gal has come a very long way since those restrictive times.  Nonetheless, a girl can only benefit by adding a pristine vintage jacket to her business wardrobe.  These jackets are best paired with a classic sheath or pencil skirt.   Each jacket is linked to the listing in the Etsy shop.
