Pink — you've been led to believe it's no longer for you!
Imagine a deep pink, almost raspberry, softened by big old-fashioned roses and edged with slate-grey piping. Stop imagining: it's exactly the pink the Christine wears, and there's nothing girlish about it.
-
A dressed-up pink
The raspberry background is intense but warm, and the painted roses across it are shaded with white, green and grey. It's a colour that brightens your complexion instead of flattening it.
-
The grey piping
Dark grey piping edges the borders, collar and cuffs. It frames the colour and gives it a clean, almost tailored finish.
-
Light warmth
The subtle quilting warms you without weighing on your shoulders. You can wear it from a cool morning to a cool evening without taking it off because you're too hot.
-
Buttoned stand collar
Done up to the top, the jacket takes on the look of an officer's jacket. Open, the collar falls softly over a light blouse.
-
Simplicity around it
With black trousers and an ecru top, the jacket does all the work. There's nothing else to decide that morning.
Pink has never had an age — it just needed to be well cut and well edged. Once that question is settled, the Christine comes out of the wardrobe far more often than you'd have bet.
