With a design echoeing a military garment, herringbone pattern and relaxed fit, this is my dream autumn jacket, a classic jacket that affirms fall style. In the cold months anything short is out of my wardrobe, and my winter coats, with a couple of exceptions, don’t usually go higher than mid-thigh. But for those perfect autumn days, past the Indian summer we usually have and before the winter cold settles in, this piece is a must-have, an item that carries the elegant essence of fall in the most practical way. It can nicely offset a too polished look or amp up a more casual one and it can easily go over a dress, pencil skirt, jeans or straight-cut trousers. As a matter of fact, this whole See by Chloé ensemble is a beautiful example of how it can be styled. From the long-sleeved knitted dress and chevron woolen bag, to the Mary Jane-esque pumps, I would wear this outfit just as it is.
Have a wonderful week!

Love this piece Ada, and I agree, it would be such a great piece to own! It never gets cold enough to wear much more than this during our coldest weather, so my concern would be that I’d wear it enough(!) Cannot believe we are in the last week of August!

I cannot get enough of herringbone! I cannot work short jackets so I’m still looking for the perfect herringbone coat.
Love this jacket! I am actually very excited forth this coming fall!
Wow that is perfect for fall! So chic! Happy new week!
I love a good herringbone! And I love this short style too – perfect for us here now… with a little bit of warming up but still cool days:)
This jacket is gorgeous. I actually love the idea of pairing it with some skinny jeans and riding boots (I like the play with proportion). But, I do love how it is styled here as well!
Ugghhhh– I am really going to miss jackets and coats this year!
