Marly Bird’s Honeycomb Swing Jacket may just become your go-to garment when the temperature dips. Knit in an appealing shade orange. Belted or unbelted, the Honeycomb Swing Jacket is a day-to-night accessory that will make you look good and feel good.

The simple rectangular shape creates a lovely draped front beautifully accented by the delightful honeycomb cable edging. The sleeves are picked up and knit down from the armhole opening.

Shown here with short sleeves, it would be equally dramatic with long sleeves or as a vest.
