Sylvie Quilted Graphic Zebra Jacket

You've often heard that stripes make you look wider — so you avoid them!

Imagine stripes that wave instead of running straight, following the body in curves instead of slicing it into sections. Stop imagining: this is exactly the design of the Sylvie.

• Lines that follow
  The pattern isn't made of horizontal bands but of irregular, hand-drawn curves. The eye follows the vertical movement of the design and the silhouette lengthens instead of widening.
• Black and white, always
  Two colours, no more. It's the safest contrast in your wardrobe: it goes with everything you already own and, by definition, knows no season.
• Discreet warmth
  The lining stays thin, padded just enough to keep out the chill. You can keep it on indoors without getting too warm.
• Straight collar, neat shoulder
  The collar stands upright and the armholes are clean, giving the whole an almost tailor-made look despite the softness of the material.
• The lifesaver
  Over jeans and a white T-shirt, it turns a last-minute outfit into a deliberate look. That's the role it will play most often.

Stripes don't widen: bad stripes widen. Once that fear is gone, the Sylvie becomes the default jacket, the one you grab on days when you don't want to make a decision.
