LADIES! Monkey jacket is back bigger and better (See how your favourite celebrities rocked theirs)

We didn’t think that we will be adding monkey jackets to our closet full of outerwear but they are back and we are so down for them! Crop jackets aka monkey jackets were a crowd favourite a few years back. Who would have thought they’ll be trendy again so soon? Well, you already know that we love a good revamp and now that they are cool again, we expect more polished combos from celebrities and style influencers.

Already, Lilian Esoro is setting a chic standard with the yellow monkey jacket with distressed hem she paired with her outfit for a chilled day out. It seems like she’s not the only one feeling the piece in cool colors.

We also found other dope outfits on Instagram where coloured monkey jackets made the look all come together. Let’s not even get into Juliette Fox‘s leopard print piece! Such a statement maker! Apart from the denim options, there are other types like the ones made out of wool. We predict this option isn’t going to be a popular one in Nigeria for obvious reasons. However, an option that is quite cool is the track crop jacket. Beauty blogger, Jackie Aina really loves a good athleisure outfit and she likes a good crop jacket to go with it!

A monkey jacket is a waist length jacket tapering at the back to a point. Historically monkey jackets were commonly worn by sailors. The term is also used in the UK to describe a type of jacket worn in Mod subculture.The origins of the Monkey Jacket can be traced back to the American naval jackets of the Second World War and the varsity jackets of the Ivy League colleges of the mid to late 50`s.

The American influence was significant with many British subcultures, but once adopted by the cool British youth, the Monkey jacket became the staple outerwear of countless British youth cultures. The bold tipping of the monkey jacket it what makes it so distinctive and hip.
