I designed this piece to be a mix between a coat and a cardigan, something you could reach for on the late days of fall and early days of winter when the air is crisp, but not cold enough for a coat. Or, for those of you where the weather drops below zero, wear this under your favorite coat for the perfect layer to keep you nice and warm. For those lucky enough to live in milder weather, wear this out with some skinny jeans, stacked heels, and your favorite tops.
