Another piece that keeps you stylish this season is denim jacket. They’re a must-have to protect your body and keep it warm.

You can’t talk about keeping it stylish this season without accessorizing.

These accessories protect you from being drenched and also keep you warm.
Staying fashionable during the rainy season is all about being creative with your style. Try out new looks and different fits. Don’t let the season steal your fashion sense. You can still look fabulous and stylish. You’re the trend not the weather.

Jackie Aina Wears Plunging Crystal Pink Suit to YSL Beauty Celebration
When Jackie Aina stepped out for the recent celebration hosted by Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, she arrived in a plunging crystal-embellished pink suit. She’s known for her sharp eye for beauty and branding.
The suit aligned with the brand’s identity and her perceived personality. Cut in a rich pink fabric, the color choice contrasted with her skin tone and the event’s evening setting. The blazer was tailored close to the body, with a deep plunging neckline exposing her midriff that replaced the need for an inner blouse or camisole. This design choice highlighted the craftsmanship of the suit and the crystal detailing that traced parts of the lapel and bodice.

Rather than scatter embellishments across the entire outfit, the crystals were placed strategically. The detailing of the jacket highlighted its shape and added texture without conflicting with the base fabric. Under event lighting, the stones created a soft shimmer that registered clearly in photos but still maintained its design.
The trousers followed the same tailored structure. High-waisted and fitted through the hips, they fell into a straight, slightly relaxed leg. With the blazer already detailed, the clean bottom made the look feel soft.

She opted for minimal jewellery, which allowed the crystal work to act as the primary accessory. Her earrings were delicate. She wore a Saint Laurent Amalia slingback pump. The pointed-toe structure of the heel gave off a sophisticated and classic look.
