Why we love this: The minimal shape plus the bold pattern makes this a conversation piece, but the sleek black and white color scheme keeps it from going overboard. This is also a jacket that is cut for a real mom body, with proper shaping and sizing for breasts and tummy. Made of cotton and spandex for a perfect fit; machine washable for simple care.

Wear it with: Your black pants, your jeans, your favorite white trousers. This is a jacket that can go to work or work for the weekend.

Lane Bryant short sleeved textured jacket, $54.50.
