The Look for Less: Members Only Jacket



Members Only at ShopStyle


Need a lightweight jacket for spring? Believe it or not, the requisite '80s fashion statement known as the Members Only jacket has made a comeback. Characterized by an elasticized waistband, elasticized wrists, a zip-up front and some snap closures at the collar, the Members Only jacket is a bad flashback for some, but a hip, vintage must-have for others. You could check eBay or the bowels of your closet for an original (I highly discourage you from paying $145 for the nylon jacket shown here from Kitson.com)...



Wet Seal at ShopStyle


...or you could pay $12.99 for this Member's Only Jacket from Wet Seal (yep, that's what they called it)...



Forever 21 at ShopStyle


...or you could scoop up this essential Color Zip-Up Jacket from Forever 21 for just $16.50. Choose from 6 fab colors, or buy one of each for less than the cost of the brand-name jacket. Which is, like, totally rad.

You can also find Members Only clothing on sale at Urban Outfitters! They have these denim leggings I'm dying to get.

Good call, I should have mentioned that Members Only is a brand of clothing, too.

I just had my mom search her closets and she still had her Black Member's Only jacket from the 80s and shipped it on my way!! :-)

It's an heirloom, it's eco, and it's budget friendly. Love it!
