Women's Red Jacket with Black Buttons

Oscar de la Renta silk & wool cropped bright coral-red blazer paired with chocolate brown skirt. 58% silk; 42% wool. Size 14. This modern classic, with its couture restraint and mid-century style, serves as well as a cocktail ensemble for early-evening gatherings as it does formal day attire suitable for gallery openings and charitable luncheons. The cropped, flared and softly textured personality of the blazer creates a striking contrast to the elegantly constrained formality of the skirt, and yet both consist of the same combination of silk (58%) and wool (42%). Accented with its statement jewelry-like closures, the combination lends an elegantly approachable architectural balance rather than overt formality. This is classic couture - polished, confident, fun and feminine without excess and consistent with the de la Renta philosophy of elegance that does not announce itself loudly, but is unmistakable when seen.
