Élise Quilted Daisy Jacket

Yellow – you decided once and for all that it doesn't suit you!

But imagine a deep, matte mustard yellow, softened by large white daisies. Stop imagining: this isn't a bright yellow, it's an end-of-season yellow, and it behaves like a neutral.

• A warm mustard
  The shade leans more towards ochre than lemon. It warms both fair and olive skin tones, where a bright yellow would have hardened the features.
• Generous daisies
  The flowers are large, drawn with wide white petals and a golden heart. The pattern is cheerful without being childish, because the scale is that of a home furnishing print rather than a small-patterned fabric.
• Wave quilting
  The stitching forms regular waves that give the fabric depth and hold in the warmth. The jacket keeps you warm while feeling supple.
• Golden buttons
  A row of small light buttons closes the front up to the high collar. Closed, the jacket almost becomes a safari jacket; open, it frames a cream top.
• Wear it with black
  Black trousers, raw jeans, a navy skirt: the mustard goes with them effortlessly. It's the only colour in the outfit, and that's enough.

Yellow didn't suit you because it was too pale or too bright. This one is neither — and it's often the jacket you end up wearing twice a week without even realising.
