Cropped Lace-Trim Jacket

Why it's worth it

Eyelet lace climbing a suiting placket — tailoring interrupted mid-button.

The Edit

Stand-collar construction with built-in shoulder pads gives this cropped jacket a precise, almost military silhouette — then a wide scalloped eyelet lace bib runs from throat to hem, fastened with a column of antique gold buttons. The jacket hits above the hip, exposing a sliver of midriff, and gold button clusters at the cuffs mirror the closures below. Dark navy base cloth reads structured; the ivory lace reads entirely otherwise.
