A floral print can always feel a little dated!

Imagine large, antique roses set against a soft sage green, in the hues of a family tapestry, but cut into a clean, modern jacket. Stop imagining: that's the whole balance of this jacket.

• The green that changes everything
  On a white background, these roses would have been upholstery fabric. On this grayish sage green, they become a full-fledged, muted, and refined color.
• Large-scale florals
  The pattern is expansive and not very repetitive, more like a painting than wallpaper. It's this scale that gives the ensemble its contemporary feel.
• A sharp cut
  Straight line, crisp shoulder, hip-length: nothing ruffled, nothing romantic in the construction. The shape contradicts the pattern, and that's what saves it.
• Mid-season warmth
  The light quilting is enough for cool mornings and evenings that fall quickly, without the bulk of a coat.
• The neutrals that go with it
  Black, khaki, ecru, raw denim: sage green dialogues with all of them. You don't have to buy anything new to wear it.

Florals don't age when the cut is young. That's why this jacket doesn't stay in the closet: it comes out as soon as the temperature drops, and it stays there.
