Anatomy of a DO!

Feather, fringe, fauxfur. Sarah Langa Mackay adds volume and drama to her look.

1 A jacket like this is already a head-turner, you may as well get it in a bold colour for extra flair like Sarah’s royal one by Gert-johan Coetzee.

2 Play with dimensions. A cropped cut isn’t too overwhelming and can be paired with a full-circle skirt or high-waisted trousers. Who doesn’t love that kind of versatility?

3 Just because this is a statement piece, doesn’t mean the rest of your outfit should be plain. Wear a quirky print skirt and bold sunglasses to create a whole mood.

4 Make the jacket a bit more architectural with ’80s-style shoulder pads like Sarah has done.
