You want a soft, understated piece – but you're worried it might just be bland.

Imagine a cream-colored background with small yellow, green, and bluish flowers, like a hand-painted meadow. Stop imagining: it's understated from a distance and full of detail up close.

• A miniature meadow
  The pattern is made up of tiny umbels, buttercups, and blades of grass. From a distance it creates a soft color; up close, it reveals a very fine design.
• The easiest color
  Cream enhanced with pale yellow and aqua green: this jacket goes with white, beige, khaki, denim, and black without ever clashing.
• Light warmth
  The quilting is thin and even. It cuts through the morning chill and wears very well indoors, which is unusual.
• Straight and fluid cut
  The jacket runs true to size, falls straight, and leaves room for a thin sweater underneath. It doesn't cinch the waist, so it doesn't emphasize anything you don't want to emphasize.
• The gray trim
  A dark gray trim outlines the collar, front, and pockets. It's this crisp line that prevents the softness from becoming invisible.

Understated doesn't mean bland: it means you can wear it on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday without anyone noticing. That's exactly what this jacket will do.
