'Overalls' score

Stephanie Lyew, Gleaner Writer

The temperature is falling as low as the 50s in Florida, and all around Jamaica people are complaining about the episodes of goosebumps caused by the windy weather that's a feature of December.

Guess it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, so persons are warming up to the idea of wearing 'overalls'. Yes, and by overalls, we're playing with the traditional meaning of full-body suits to focus on jacket/blazer trends. Check out the overall score on these designs.

So, are you getting warmer now? Show off your swag with an 'overall' overhaul!

Professional

Move from work to after-work jam in this yellow and black chequered jacket. Maybe the colour will be a little loud, but it's the season of bright colours. Your boss will turn a blind eye at your breaking the rules with this stylish jacket.

Military

Fly high in a jacket that will make you take off like a G6. The Far East Movement was right when they sang about style in their track, 'Like a G6'. This acid-wash denim jacket is spiked up with shoulder pads and military tassels. Gentlemen, don't you just want to stand at attention for Blair?

Nautical

Blue and white aren't just the colours of the Navy Seals, they are being used up in fashion for nautical striped jackets and sailor cardigans. (We added the anchor pin for the look). The cotton is cool and is best worn with simple tanks for the ladies and tees for the men. Stephen's look is made semi-formal with a 'button-front' shirt.

Vintage

Lace and gold accents on this three-quarter sleeve midrift jacket gives a classic '60s appeal. Even though the material is delicate and may prove useless in the cold, the jacket is fashionable and can be worn easily with anything on a classy night out.

Preppy

So you're a 'prep-star', all about 'fashion over style'. You like that your cardigan looks great over a tank and over a dress or buttoned up shirt. However, the material is normally lightweight, so match up with your significant other this Christmas. After all, you'll have each other.

Rebel

This jacket can be softened with
simple accessories, but for a rebel, it's all about thinking outside
the closet. Eccentricity and creativity always win, and that's why this
outfit snags the No. 1 position. All it takes is ensuring that the
shoulder pads are in the right spot. It's up to you -wear with or without anything.
