A clean line with quiet decorative buttons

A short jacket earns its place by holding its shape at the shoulder. This one is cut narrow and flat, and the front edges fall open in a straight line, which keeps the silhouette calm instead of boxy.

Design Highlights

The stand collar closes at the neck and sets a firm frame around the face, so the jacket reads finished even when it is worn open. Two rows of rounded decorative buttons run down the front edges in a warm tone, and the soft sheen of the surface gives them something to sit against. The sleeves are cut narrow and stay close to the arm, and the body is kept smooth and matte so the buttons are the only detail across the front. The hem sits at the hip and holds a straight line.

How to Style It

Over a fine knit and straight trousers it reads sharp enough for the office. Against a dress and a low boot it turns softer without losing the line. Keep what sits underneath close to the body so the narrow cut stays narrow, and let the stand collar frame the neck on its own. A slim belt underneath keeps the proportion tidy.
