You must have seen at least one example of a bride (or groom) rocking painted jackets on their wedding day. And perhaps you thought to yourself, “…so cool… but not with my style.” We urge you to hold up and let us show you how these fun and trendy accessories can be paired with just about any style.

The greatest part about a painted jacket is that is a commissioned piece of art just for you! It's a one of a kind artwork and you get to decide what it will be! Take this gorgeous floral peace sign jacket above by Kelly Blexrud of Bash Creative Design, she and many other jacket painters all over the internet will work with you to design the jacket of your dreams. So if you want a badass style, you got it! More of a soft and subtle fan, just as possible. Looking for a splash of color, just say the word. There is really an endless number of possibilities for your cool custom jacket, and you can pair it with whatever you are wearing.

Still not sure… take a scroll through our examples below.
