Daphne | Daisy Quilted Jacket

You’ve decided once and for all that yellow doesn’t suit you!

Yet imagine a deep, matte mustard yellow, softened by large white daisies. Stop imagining: this isn’t a bright yellow; it’s an autumnal yellow, and it behaves like a neutral.

• A warm mustard
  The shade leans towards ochre rather than lemon. It warms both light and dark complexions, where a bright yellow would have sharpened the features.
• Generous daisies
  The flowers are large, designed with broad white petals and a golden centre. The pattern is cheerful without being childish, as its scale is that of a home print rather than a fabric with small motifs.
• Wavy quilting
  The topstitching creates regular waves that add texture to the fabric and retain warmth. The jacket keeps you warm while remaining soft to the touch.
• Golden buttons
  A row of small light buttons fastens the front up to the high collar. When closed, the jacket becomes almost a safari style; when open, it frames an ecru top.
• To be worn with black
  Black trousers, raw jeans, navy skirt: the mustard pairs effortlessly. It’s the only colour in the outfit, and it’s enough.

Yellow didn’t suit you because it was too light or too bright. This one is neither — and it’s often the jacket you end up wearing twice a week without even realising it.
