The style-savvy mother knows the importance of a good topper.  It’s a girl’s sneakiest wardrobe staple, imparting instant polish and acres of style no matter what you are wearing.

For the mother-on-the-hop, a khaki jacket is the most versatile.  It’s casual but cool, goes with EVERYTHING and can fix a fashion disaster flawlessly due to its inbuilt, expert camouflage capabilities. Clever.

This season, choose from military styling, the classic anorak shape or a single-breaster for effortless, “I don’t give a fig” style.  Know that the bigger, more voluminous versions are best handled with a  belt. Toss it on over your gym gear, a cocktail frock or favourite jeans – hell throw it over your pyjamas if you want!

The best options I have found are at Zara, JCrew, Balenciaga, Rag &  Bone and Current Elliott. They are sooo camo-chic.
