In the 80's, any pop culture icon that mattered had--and regularly wore--a Members Only jacket. The brand was recently resurrected by Kirtie Regan, and now all the one-name celebs--Rihanna, Mariah, Fergie, Paris--are sporting the millennium-era Members Only jackets.
From the plushy soft leather jackets to the varsity-style hot nylon ones, fashion-forward stars regularly include Members Only jackets in their style repertoire. Members Only also sports a wide selection of animal prints.
Implications - These sassy looks will ensure that onlookers are constantly doing double-takes of your attire, trying to soak in the visual wonderment that is your fashion style. Jealousy awaits.
