KAREN MILLEN Women's Faux Leather Collared Belted Jacket - Black

From Karen Millen, the Women's Faux Leather Collared Belted Jacket - Black in Black.

The belted waist is the jacket's defining detail - a wide, eyelet-closure belt that cinches firmly and holds the silhouette in place rather than simply suggesting shape. Structured, squared shoulders give the jacket a strong, purposeful line from the first moment you put it on - it sits with authority without feeling heavy. An asymmetric off-center zip runs diagonally across the front, finished with a silver-toned pull that adds a considered edge to the overall construction. A fold-over lapel collar sits open at the neck, creating a relaxed yet polished frame that works with or without layering underneath. PU fabrication with a soft, suede-like surface - it holds its shape throughout the day and wipes clean with ease, making it as practical as it is sharp. A snap-button chest flap detail on the upper left panel adds an utilitarian touch that holds the front face from reading as too minimal. The asymmetric zip draws the eye across the chest and down to that belted waist - it's a jacket that does its own talking before you've added a thing. Cut in a cropped, regular fit, it sits just at the hip and works hardest when worn as the model does here: over wide-leg dark denim with nothing fussy underneath. The structured shoulder means it doesn't need a blazer-level formality to read as intentional. For a more considered daytime look, pair it over a fine-knit roll-neck and tailored pants, letting the belt do the work of defining the waist. Come evening, it holds its own over a streamlined midi dress - the suede-effect surface reads as dressed up without requiring any additional effort. This is the jacket that makes a straightforward outfit feel considered, worn open or fastened right to the collar.
