Here's a great piece of New Zealand fashion history in this polished cotton black with a stunning slick, light-catching finish jacket. The neckline is the star: a cascade of sculpted rosettes and pleated trim that frames the face beautifully, then drops into a clean, tailored line through the body.

It sits fitted through the shoulders and waist, then skims to the knee for an elegant, elongating silhouette. Easy to dress up simple denim, sharpen a slip dress, or add a bit of drama to a plain skirt without the need for any extra accessories. Perfect for a wedding or event to elevate a simple outfit!

Try it with wide-leg trousers and a crisp white tee, adding silver loafers. Or go full colour-contrast: a white silk camisole underneath with emerald trousers. For evening, layer it over a fuchsia slip dress and add gold earrings and metallic heels.
