Embellished jackets do most of the work for you. Embroidery, beadwork, appliqué, decorative trims — each brings texture and character in a single layer. The approach is straightforward: let the jacket set the tone, then build everything else around it.
Evening Polish
Start with something fluid or softly reflective — satin trousers, a silk skirt, or subtle metallics. Keep the base pared back so the jacket holds the spotlight. Finish with a pointed heel or elegant flat and a compact evening bag. Jewelry stays minimal.

With Denim
This is where embellishment meets ease. Straight or barrel-leg jeans anchor the look, while a clean tee or fine knit keeps things simple up top. Bring in color through shoes, a bag, or jewelry — a bright pump, a statement crossbody, or sculptural earrings add Julia’s signature energy.

Casual, Elevated
Treat the jacket as part of your regular rotation. Style it with loose trousers or worn-in jeans and a tank or tee, then layer in richness through hue or texture — a bold sandal, patterned flat, or vibrant accessory. This is where personality comes through, without sacrificing polish.

What to Look For
Focus on craftsmanship: dense embroidery, secure beadwork, clean finishing, and strong shoulder structure. Look for thoughtful placement of detail — stitching, appliqué, or decorative trims — so the embellishment feels balanced. Neutral bases and rich tones offer the most versatility.
