Beautiful jackets tend to be either the warm ones or the light ones, and never once the ones you can wear all day!

Just imagine soft pink roses on a pale sage ground, in a jacket light enough to keep on through lunch and warm enough to walk home in at dusk. Now stop imagining, because that is precisely where the Sharon sits.

• A Gentle Green
  Pale sage is one of the kindest colors to wear near the face, and the blush roses scattered over it keep the whole thing soft rather than cool. It has the look of faded vintage fabric.
• The All-Day Weight
  Thin, evenly distributed padding is the reason this works from a chilly morning to a mild afternoon and back again. You are not carrying it over your arm by eleven.
• Room To Layer
  Cut with real ease through the shoulder and sleeve, so a jumper goes underneath without a struggle and the sleeves still push up when you need them to.
• Softly Defined Waist
  The seams draw in very gently at the middle, which is what stops a padded jacket from turning into a rectangle. Comfortable and still shaped.
• Quietly Special
  The print is pretty enough to be noticed and calm enough to wear every day of the week, which is a harder balance to strike than it sounds.

A jacket you have to take off halfway through the day was only ever half useful. This one stays on from the school run to the evening, and the pieces that stay on are the pieces you end up living in.
