The bold black and white print keeps it classic but striking, making it the kind of piece that works anywhere, anytime.
The front zipper is the real game-changer, wear it fully zipped as a sleek dress for a polished, pulled-together look, or unzip and throw it over jeans, a fitted skirt, or even shorts as a chic jacket. Either way, you’re serving style without even trying.
And yes, the pockets are deep, because we don’t do pocket-less anything here.
This piece is perfect for days when you want to look put together but not overdressed; brunch, meetings, casual Fridays, or that event you “just threw an outfit on for” (but still look amazing).
