Some mornings, your look is on point, but it's missing something—and you don't know what.

Imagine a jacket that solves it in a second: black and white stripes assembled in blocks, in all directions, like a graphic patchwork. Stop imagining: this is the piece that structures everything else.

• Block stripes
  The stripes change direction from one panel to another: vertical on one front, horizontal on a pocket. This play breaks the linear effect and adds movement.
• Absolute contrast
  Black and white, nothing else. It's the duo that goes with your entire wardrobe and instantly elevates a pair of jeans or black trousers.
• Gold buttons
  Small gold buttons warm up the graphic design and prevent the overall look from feeling cold. A detail, but one that sets the tone.
• Light warmth
  The quilting is thin and even. The jacket provides warmth without bulk and can be worn from morning to night without becoming heavy.
• The dark trim
  A dark piping surrounds the edges and pockets, giving this highly designed piece a crisp, almost haute couture finish.

What the look was missing was a statement piece. This one makes a statement—and that's why you'll end up wearing it much more often than jackets you thought were more understated.
