Véronique Quilted Graphic Stripe Jacket

Some mornings the outfit is fine, but something's missing — and you don't know what!

Imagine a jacket that solves that in a second: black and white stripes in blocks, running in every direction, like a graphic patchwork. Stop dreaming: the Véronique is that piece that structures everything around it.

• Block stripes
  The bands change direction from one panel to the next: vertical at the front, horizontal on a pocket. This interplay breaks up the lines and adds movement.
• Absolute contrast
  Black and white, nothing else. This is the duo that goes with your entire wardrobe and instantly elevates jeans or black trousers.
• Golden buttons
  The small gold buttons warm up the graphics and stop the whole from looking cold. A detail, but one that sets the tone.
• Light warmth
  The quilting is fine and even. The jacket keeps you warm without being thick and can be worn from morning to night without feeling heavy.
• Dark piping
  Dark piping frames the edges and pockets, giving this very tailored piece a neat, almost couture finish.

What the outfit was missing was a piece that makes the decision. This piece makes it — and that's why it gets worn far more often than the jackets considered more sensible.
