Everyone has a favorite sweater for fall and winter - one that is comfortable and feels just right in a variety of settings and is easy to throw on. Judy Dercum designed this jacket to serve the same purpose in the springtime. She took the wraparound style of the 1970s as her prototype, then slimmed it down and shaped it so that it would drape beautifully and fit neatly, without the falling-off-the-shoulder problem that anyone who wore these jackets back then remembers well. The spring-time palette set off with a dash of gray helps the jacket to span the transition from winter to spring and urban to country settings.
