Styles to choose from
A bolero can have either long or short sleeves and it is ideal for wearing over an evening dress. But they don’t have to be saved for special outings at night. They’re also a great fashion item to wear during the day as well.
Boleros are especially useful in spring and autumn. The days might be nice and warm and you can wear a sleeveless top or dress. But, if you stay out into the late afternoon, it might start to get a little cooler.
This is when a bolero is particularly useful. No bulky jumpers taking up your bag. You can easily slip on your bolero over your top or dress and keep the chill off your shoulders and back. Most boleros are fairly lightweight, so they offer a little warmth but they’re not bulky.
Aside from being ideal to pair with dresses and skirts, boleros also look fabulous when worn with jeans and a crop top. Another popular chocie is to wear your bolero over a longer line top. This adds an additional element of style.
You’ll find boleros are available in many different fabrics including leather, wool and cotton. Some may also be elaborately embellished with feathers, faux fur, tassels and metal studs.
This makes it easy to find just the right bolero to team with your favourite outfit or evening dress. Start shopping on eBay today.
