The rail in an Italian closet is short. Besides the blazer and the coat, three jackets do the rest.
The one that replaces a dress
A strong print, tied at the waist. Toile de Jouy has been part of Dior since its first boutique in 1947.
The one for before six
A light, cropped bomber. Florals keep it from looking sporty, and it goes over everything.
The one that is secretly a sweater
A knit jacket with a collar and pockets. It looks finished and feels like a cardigan.
One print, one light, one soft
No two do the same job, and each comes with its own trousers. Three jackets, a dozen outfits.
From Maria's edit
Fewer jackets, each with one clear job.
