DELACROIX | Quilted Floral Patchwork Jacket Chloé

Have you ever given up on a printed piece, telling yourself that you would never dare to wear it!

Now imagine pulling it out on a Tuesday morning, over black pants, and receiving a compliment before your first coffee. Stop imagining: the Chloé patchwork was made to be worn, not admired from afar.

• A soothing patchwork
  Each square carries its own pattern — flowers, polka dots, printed lace — but all share a common family of powdery blues, soft pinks, and cream. The whole is lively without being loud.
• Warmth without bulk
  The fine padding slips under the arm and doesn’t bulk up at the shoulders. You gain a real layer of warmth where a heavy coat would have felt constricting.
• High collar
  The small straight collar protects the neck when the wind rises and folds back in one motion. When open, it nicely frames the face.
• Fluid cut
  The jacket fits normally and falls straight, with just the right amount of ease to layer a thin sweater underneath. Nothing is tight, nothing is billowy.
• Two practical pockets
  Placed low on the hips, they welcome hands, a phone, a keychain. It’s the kind of detail that practically decides which jacket you really take.

The first time may require a bit of boldness. The second time, no — and from there, the Chloé becomes the jacket you grab without thinking, week after week.
