This Aldo Martins jacket is all about contrast. Coral red and black immediately catch the eye, while camel and brown tones bring warmth to the overall look. Different houndstooth patterns flow playfully into one another, making the jacket look slightly different from every angle.

The soft camel-brown collar creates a beautiful counterpoint to the graphic knit and gives the design a warm, almost tactile appearance. Wear the collar slightly open and the black button placket comes beautifully into view. This dark line through the centre brings a sense of calm to the mix of colours and patterns.

The lower part of the jacket changes character too. The finer red-and-black pattern at the top gives way to larger houndstooth motifs in black, camel and taupe. This adds depth without making the jacket feel heavy. The black cuffs give the design a slightly bolder edge and create a striking contrast with the warm colours.

This is a jacket that instantly makes a simple outfit more interesting. Pair it with a black roll-neck and camel or dark-brown trousers for a strong, calm foundation. With denim, the look becomes more relaxed, while a black skirt or pair of trousers emphasises the graphic character.

The main fabric is made from 52% extra-fine wool, 38% nylon and 10% acrylic. The extra-fine wool provides warmth and a soft appearance, while the nylon and acrylic contribute strength and shape retention. The black button placket is made from 100% polyester and creates a clear contrast with the knitted design.

An Aldo Martins jacket for a woman who enjoys wearing something distinctive without making it difficult to style: expressive in pattern and colour, yet surprisingly versatile thanks to the black, camel and brown tones.
