It's definitely my favorite when more structured pieces are done in knit fabrics, because you get the tailored look while still feeling like you are wearing a sweatshirt. (Why sacrifice comfort for style when you can have both, right?) I love all the zipper detailing, but in the case of the pockets, they are a facade. There are no actual pockets, which is sited as being a feature in the web description, but in my opinion, is the only downfall to the jacket.
I think the plum color is perfect for fall, and works so well to liven up neutrals like black, brown, and grey, but of course its always fun to go with the opposite end of the color wheel and pair it with neon green.

Maurices provided me with the jacket for the purpose of the review, my thoughts and opinions are my own.
Ooh I love that jacket and this color combo!! I also love knit jackets like this--they have an edgy look but they're soft and cozy!
ReplyDeleteOh I am loving this color combo! What a great way to bring neon into fall pairing it with the plum jacket. I really like Maurices, I just forget about it sometimes since it's a little roadtrip to get to a store near us. Heather
ReplyDeleteThe zipper detail on the sleeve makes this jacket really special. Good pick. I love the vibrant color combination you chose to showcase the jacket. As always, beautiful job, Lyddie.

ReplyDeleteI can't say that I am a Maurice's fan, but I would definitely purchase this jacket! Thanks for the style advice, as always Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat moto jacket is amazing, especially in that color... can see wearing that all year.
ReplyDeleteI have several things from Maurice's and I am actually surprised by the quality. It is a lot better than one would expect I've found anyway. This knit moto jacket is a great piece and, like you say, perfect for fall. I love it with the unexpected neon!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And I adore that rich color!
ReplyDeleteThe colour of the jacket is so rich and noble. You styled it nicely too.
ReplyDeleteI really, really love it - the cut, style and colour are awesome!
