If an exact LTK commission link is active, Shopfest may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Otherwise this opens the direct retailer listing. Price and availability can change at the retailer.

WHY IT WORKS

The tobacco, cream, and blue palette has more styling range than a novelty color, while the short sleeve adds a modern proportion.

THE HONEST WATCH-OUT

The oversized, dropped-shoulder shape is intentionally loose; check measurements before choosing a size.

HOW WE’D STYLE IT

Wear it with full black trousers now, then add a chocolate coat and pale-blue shirt as temperatures drop.
