I have to start this blog post by making a confession. I really have no idea how to call this little short cardigan or shrug the first time I see it. The only thing that comes to my mind is “what a cute jacket that is”. Now, I know that its official name is the bolero jacket. It is something that you can easily build a lovely and unique outfit around. In order to make the styling process easier for you, I have collected some of the best bolero jacket outfit ideas for you. Let’s dive in.

Let’s start off this outfit with a very casual yet stylish outfit. To achieve this look, you can wear a white form fitting tank top with a grey bolero jacket. Pair them with black skinny jeans and white sneakers to keep the outfit refreshing and simple. You can even wear a statement necklace to make the outfit more stylish.
