The throw-on layer that instantly elevates an outfit

Part cape, part jacket, part waistcoat, this is such a useful piece for autumn. It has the smart look of a wool jacket, but is made from a synthetic fabric with a light wool-like texture 

The generous cape-style sleeves give you plenty of room for layering, so it works brilliantly over shirts, fine knits and jumpers without feeling restrictive. The double-breasted buttons and oversized collar give it a smart, flattering shape, while the shorter length looks particularly good with jeans and wide-leg trousers.

Wear it open for a relaxed look or button it up on cooler days. It's one of those pieces that can completely change a simple jeans-and-top outfit.

Details:

• Soft brushed polyester with a wool-like look
• Cape/jacket/waistcoat style
• Double-breasted button front
• Wide cape-style sleeves
• Easy to layer
• One size, generously fits up to at least a UK 20

Styling tip: Add a contrasting top underneath and let the sleeves show. It gives you that lovely layered autumn look without adding lots of bulk.
