This knit jacket is a timeless classic that will help you transition into cooler weather. With Coleen the beauty is in the details. The twisted rib at the back ensures that the smallest part of your body, just below your bust, is highlighted. The textured lower body flares out just enough without creating excess fabric. The sleeves and body are finished with i-cord, a clean and professional detail that sounds far more difficult than it is to execute. Coleen will surely become a wardrobe staple for years to come!
