Peggy | Oversized Plaid Button-Up Jacket

Plaid is the one pattern that looks better the colder it gets.

When the leaves start coming down and the mornings turn sharp, a check suddenly looks right in a way it never quite does in July. Peggy brings it in as an oversized button-up jacket that feels warm the moment it goes on and weighs next to nothing.

Soft fleece that stays light. It holds warmth close to the body without the bulk and stiffness of a padded coat, so you can move your arms freely. You forget you are wearing a jacket at all.

An oversized, easy cut. The body falls loose from the shoulder, which leaves room for a thick sweater underneath without pulling across the back. Nothing feels tight when you reach for the car door.

A clear, bold check. The pattern is large enough to read from across a parking lot or a farmers market, so even a plain outfit underneath looks considered. It does the dressing up for you.

Buttons all the way down. You can close it fully on a cold morning and open it up again by lunchtime when the sun comes out. One jacket handles the whole day.

By the second week of October, this is the jacket hanging on the hook by the door and getting worn every single day without anyone deciding it. You can feel within a minute that it will stay there until March.
