Rosalba Jacket

The Rosalba Jacket is a colour decision more than a shape decision. Burgundy and brown red are the two tones that make an autumn wardrobe look deliberate instead of accidental, sitting warmer than black and richer than brown. The cut underneath is kept tailored and quiet so the colour is doing all of the talking, which is exactly the right division of labour.

Both shades work against camel, cream, navy, grey and denim, and they photograph far better than they sound. Burgundy is the deeper, more formal of the two and brown red is the softer, more casual one. Sizing runs S through L. The jacket is cut close enough to keep a defined line but with room to sit over a fine knit or a shirt.

Wear the Rosalba over a roll neck and straight leg denim through autumn, over tailored trousers for the office, or over a simple dress when the evening cools. It is the piece that makes a wardrobe of neutrals suddenly look like it was planned. A considered seasonal layer from Marlowe & Rue.
