DELACROIX | Quilted Zebra Graphic Jacket Sylvie

You’ve been told that stripes make you look wider — so you avoid them!

Imagine stripes that undulate instead of cutting across, that follow the body in curves rather than slicing it into segments. Stop imagining: this is exactly the design of the Sylvie.

• Lines that follow
  The pattern is not made up of horizontal bands but of irregular curves, hand-drawn. The eye follows the vertical movement of the design, and the silhouette elongates instead of widening.
• Black and white, always
  Two colours, no more. This is the safest contrast in your wardrobe: it goes with everything you already own and, by definition, knows no season.
• Subtle warmth
  The quilting remains thin, just enough to cut the chill. You can keep it on indoors without getting too hot.
• High collar, sharp shoulder
  The collar stands upright and the armhole is clean, giving the whole piece an almost tailored look despite the softness of the material.
• The go-to piece
  Layered over jeans and a white t-shirt, it transforms a last-minute outfit into a deliberate one. This will be its most frequent role.

Stripes do not widen: bad stripes widen. Once this fear is dispelled, the Sylvie becomes the default jacket, the one you reach for on days when you don’t want to make any decisions.
