Dropped Shoulder Collared Jacket | Light Gray / S 100100361112081

Overview

A modern, easy-to-wear collared jacket that reads like a crossover between an overshirt and a lightweight coat. The dropped-shoulder cut creates a relaxed, contemporary silhouette that layers effortlessly over tees, shirts or thin knitwear. Thoughtful utility details — including functional exterior pockets and a clean hem — make it a practical everyday piece that balances comfort and structure.

Fabric & material information

Constructed from a cotton-rich blend with a small polyester content for durability and shape retention. The fabric offers the natural breathability and soft hand of cotton while the synthetic component helps resist excessive wrinkling and reduces shrinkage compared with pure cotton garments.

• Cotton (majority): soft, breathable, comfortable against the skin and absorbs moisture well.
• Polyester (minor percentage): adds strength, quick-drying performance, and better dimensional stability; helps the jacket keep its silhouette after repeated wears and washes.
• Sustainability note: conventional cotton production has environmental impacts (water and pesticide use); polyester is a petroleum-derived fiber. Choosing gentle care and washing less often extends garment life and reduces environmental footprint. If you prefer eco options, consider similar styles in organic cotton or recycled-poly blends.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

Fit notes & how the jacket is styled

The dropped shoulder creates a boxier, more relaxed fit through the torso and sleeve. Expect a roomy sleeve cap and shoulders that sit lower than traditional tailored jackets — this is intentional for ease and layering. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down; if you want extra layering room (sweaters, hoodies), size up.

How to measure your body (to pick the right size)

1. Wear a thin layer (T-shirt) and stand naturally with arms relaxed at your sides.
2. Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder bone to the other across the back.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder bone (where you measured shoulder width) down to the wrist bone with the arm slightly bent.
5. Back/Center length: Measure from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) down to where you want the hem to fall.
6. Allow for ease: Decide how you want the jacket to feel: fitted (minimal extra room), relaxed (a couple of inches/cm of ease), or oversized (several inches/cm of ease). Add this allowance to your chest measurement to target the correct garment size.

How to measure the jacket (flat measurement method)

1. Lay the jacket flat on a hard surface and smooth out any wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Chest (flat): Measure across the front from one side seam to the other at approximately 1"–2" (2.5–5 cm) below the armhole; double that number to get the full circumference.
3. Shoulder width: If there is a visible shoulder seam, measure seam-to-seam. For dropped-shoulder styles, measure from the outer edge where the sleeve joins the body across the back to the opposite outer edge.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam (or sleeve join point on dropped shoulders) along the top of the sleeve to the cuff.
5. Front/Center length: From the base of the collar or neckline down to the hem at the front.
6. Compare & choose: Compare the jacket measurements to your body measurements plus your chosen ease. If the jacket measurement equals your chest + ease, that is the fit you will get.

Model information (visual reference)

In styling photos the model typically wears a medium-sized sample to illustrate the relaxed silhouette. Models shown are commonly between 5'8" and 5'10" (approx. 173–178 cm). Use the measuring advice above to match your preferred fit rather than relying solely on the model reference.

Color & combination suggestions

Neutral shades — such as navy, black, stone, olive or camel — are the most versatile choices for a dropped shoulder collared jacket. Pairing ideas:

• Casual weekend: white tee, straight-leg denim, low-top sneakers.
• Smart-casual: fine-knit turtleneck, tailored chinos, leather loafers.
• Layered streetwear: light hoodie underneath, tapered joggers, chunky trainers.
• Feminine contrast: slip midi dress, ankle boots and a slim belt to define the waist.
• Transitional office: button-down shirt, slim trousers, minimalist boots.

Style & occasions

This jacket reads modern-casual with utility influences — ideal for everyday wear, city travel, weekend errands, or dressing down office looks. The collared neckline keeps the piece structured enough for smart-casual outfits while the dropped shoulder lends contemporary ease.

Seasonal suitability

Best suited to transitional seasons (spring and autumn) as a top layer. In mild winters it works layered over sweaters; in cool summer evenings it provides breathable coverage. Because it is a midweight construction, it’s not intended as a heavy winter coat but excels at versatility across most wardrobes.

Care tips & fit reminders

• To maintain fit and shape, avoid high-heat drying — air-drying on a flat surface or low-heat tumble is gentler.
• Wash infrequently when possible; spot clean small marks to extend time between full washes.
• If you plan to wear layers under the jacket (sweaters, hoodies), size up for comfortable arm movement and shoulder mobility.
• Expect the dropped shoulder to sit lower on the arm than tailored jackets — this is intentional and part of the design language.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Pre-wash: Close buttons or zippers and turn the garment inside out to protect the outer face and reduce abrasion.
2. Wash: Use cool or lukewarm water and a gentle detergent; choose a delicate or gentle cycle. Avoid bleaching agents.
3. Dry: Prefer air-drying on a flat surface or hang to dry on a supportive hanger to avoid distorting shoulders; if using a dryer, use a low-heat setting and remove promptly to limit wrinkles.
4. Ironing/Steaming: Use a warm iron or handheld steamer on the reverse side as needed. Avoid applying maximum heat directly to synthetic fibers.
5. Storage: Store on a wide, shaped hanger for longer-term hanging; fold if you have limited hanging space. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.
6. Pilling & lint: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver and use a lint roller for surface lint. Turn garment inside out before washing to reduce pilling.
