If you are looking for a utility jacket, this Forever 21 utility jacket is surprisingly really nice. It’s still available online and in-stores. I wanted one that wasn’t too manly or boxy. I was so happy when I tried it on in-store and the arms were slim and not too long. We all know Forever 21 is known for inconsistent sizing but this one is petite friendly! It has a detachable hood and a drawstring waist.
I expected the quality to be the usual Forever 21 but I am happy to report that it’s pretty good. It’s 100% cotton and the weight of the material is heavier than expected. I am quite impressed! I really like the length and where it hits on my hips (as a reference, I am 5′ tall).
This is a great alternative to my typical blazer and adds a different aspect to my casual wardrobe. I love mixing it with feminine pieces like lace or a girly dress. Here are some other ways you can wear a utility jacket:
Outfit 6: Shirt: Ann Taylor, Skirt: Club Monaco, Belt: J.Crew, Shoes: Christian Louboutin Pigalle
I also ordered this striped elbow patch sweater and heart blouse (dupe of J.Crew factory version).
Which is your favorite combination?

This outfit is so cute and I love you in sunglasses (very sassy)! I vote for your first outfit in this post even though you didn’t number it. I also like 2, 3, 4 and 6.
Thanks much for trying out my suggestion too. I know you forgot your accessories when taking the pictures and it will look perfect with a cognac belt.
Thank you Jess! Sassy…LOL
Gah will def add a cognac belt and accessories next time to the one you suggested. I was in such a hurry..hehehe

Thanks Angelique! 🙂
Stylish (and sweet) petite! Sweet casual style here with the utility jacket, the jeans, and the boots. I guess my favorite outfit is a toss-up between the 3rd and 6th looks.

Thanks Emily! 🙂
I like 2.4 and 5
Thank you! 🙂
The first outfit is my favourite. Olive & leopard are a great colour combination. I love how you have shown lots of different ways of wearing the jacket.
On a more technical note, how did you create the last image where it changes pictures?

Thank you! 🙂
Great post with great ideas for a utility jacket that I would have otherwise not viewed as versatile! The animated (is it a gif or some other format?) image at the end is cool, and it did not cause my page to load slowly or anything like some do.
Thanks MaryIrene! Yup it’s a gif 🙂 Glad it didn’t slow down anything 🙂
My favorites were 2,3,&4. This is my first time searching for a blog about petite fashion. I am so glad I did b/c u have already inspired me. I wish I could cut the outfits out I like best and make a book, though. 🙂 I was disappointed that most pieces were no longer available. I am sure it took you time to find them. I used to be more ur size, but I am disabled now and wear a 12p or 14p. My middle is my biggest problem area. I used to enjoy fashion SO much, and still do, but it is hard when u struggle ability wise to get dressed. If I could just get a weeks worth of mix and match pieces that were tailored along with a set of photos of outfits!
If you have ANY recommendations for me, I would be forever grateful. I have two girls and I want to be good models for them as well.

Thank you for this post! I have been hunting for an army inspired vest or jacket for over a year. I have bought 4 different ones that have all been too long or tent like (I am 5’2 and curvy, I wear a small top and a 4 curvy pant). I was happy to find this exact jacket at my local forever 21 and I SNATCHED it up. I have worn it 4 times in the past week. Today I am wearing it with a floral shell and black trousers at work. Totally business casual appropriate! Thanks so much!
Yay! So happy you got it. It’s one often favorite F21 purchases 🙂
