This velvet jacket brings together two things that work beautifully: colourful suzani embroidery and a napoleonic feel, given by the high officer collar and the gold bands running down the front like the braiding on a military tunic. One size and relaxed cut, it’s worn open over a T-shirt, a fine jumper or a dress. It’s the velvet jacket for guests and for everyday that sorts out plenty of autumn and winter looks.<\/p>\n
Suzani is a traditional embroidery from Central Asia, with highly decorative motifs. Here it’s done in gold on velvet, with ovals and palmettes set in vertical bands. The high collar and the embroidered front are the napoleonic nod, that military-tunic touch that sets it apart from an ordinary printed jacket. Once it’s on, you’ve got half the look sorted.<\/p>\n
It’s one size with a loose pattern, made to sit well across a wide range of sizes. It falls loose and is worn open, with no fastening, like a kimono jacket. That looseness makes it easy: no need to land on an exact size. If you’re unsure, message us and we’ll send measurements before you buy.<\/p>\n
The gold embroidery stands out over four backgrounds: navy blue, beige, brown and strawberry. Navy and brown are the most everyday and the easiest to match; beige is the all-rounder; strawberry is the eye-catching one for a celebration. The gold reads differently on each, so it’s worth looking at all four.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking for what to wear over a party dress when it’s cold, this embroidered jacket is a stylish answer: over a plain dress, let the embroidery lead and add an evening bag and earrings that pick up the gold. For everyday, with white or black jeans and boots, it’s sorted in a minute.<\/p>\n
