Who: Kelly Lane – Pittsburg, PA
What: Rider Coat in Sage
Where: Jute & Jackfruit – On sale for $188
Why We Love It: This wear-everywhere jacket/sweatshirt jumped out at us at the Go Green Expo last week. It is sooo soft and cozy that it was all we could do not to wrap ourselves up in it and curling up with a good book and a cup of tea…
The beauty of this jacket is that it can take you straight from that cup of tea to the office to the playground to dinner out. It’s got the comfort of a sweatshirt and the refined look of a tailored jacket. The Rider Coat is handmade of a super soft, french terry that’s a blend of soy, organic cotton and lycra – it has almost a silky feel to it.
And it is incredibly flattering too. The tie waist can be adjusted to cinch in just the right place and subtle details like the cuffed wrists, the slightly blousy sleeves and the contrasting fabric textures amp up the style quotient. The sage – more like a minty green – adds a nice color element that is quite versatile. Keep an eye out for the Fall version of The Rider Coat that comes in black and taupe and comes with pockets!
