A taupe capelet jacket with a buckled high neck and a contrasting brown collar — wide cape-style sleeves over a button front, 27 inches long.
Highlights
✓Wide cape-cut sleeves — they drape over a knit or a blouse, which also means this is the outer layer: it will not go under another coat.
✓A buckled high neckline — it closes right up at the throat, so the jacket looks finished worn done up rather than hanging open.
✓27 inches long on a size Small — it covers the hip, so it works over a short skirt or shorts as readily as over trousers.
✓A 90% polyester, 10% rayon woven body — no wool in it, so treat it as a transitional jacket for cool days rather than as a winter coat.
✓A coated contrast collar — 100% polyester coating over a polyester, cotton and rayon backing, a leather-look finish that wipes clean rather than washes.
A cape sleeve changes the whole silhouette: it reads dressier than a blazer and does the work of a jacket and a statement at once. Keep what goes under it narrow — a fitted knit, a slim trouser — so the volume in the sleeve stays the point.
If you like the buckled neck in something shorter and darker, the Rebel Romance buckled faux leather cropped jacket has the same detail at 19 inches in brown. More layers are in women’s coats and jackets and the Flying Tomato range.
