Bettinna Elegant Jacket

The Bettinna Elegant Jacket is the everyday layer that most wardrobes are missing. Not a blazer, not a coat, but the piece that sits between them and therefore gets worn far more often than either. A clean tailored line, a hip length hem and no decorative detail means it goes over almost anything without needing to be considered first.

Six colours give it real range. Khaki and beige toned neutrals sit easily with denim, black and gray are the reliable everyday choices, and red, green and blue give you something with more presence when the outfit underneath is plain. The size run is one of the widest in this collection at XS through 3XL, with the proportion holding rather than simply scaling.

Wear the Bettinna over a shirt for work, over a knit and jeans in autumn, or over a dress when the evening cools slightly. It is the sort of piece that does not feel like a purchase at the time and then never leaves the rotation. A practical layer from Marlowe & Rue at the most accessible price in this collection.
