Ivy Lane Meet You Outside Plaid Button Down Curved Hem Shacket | Orange / S 100100340223584

Overview

A plaid button-front shirt-jacket designed to bridge the gap between a casual shirt and a lightweight outer layer. The gently rounded hem and relaxed armline give it a modern, easy silhouette that works as a top layer over tees, knits and hoodies. Functional front pockets and a simple front closure make it a practical, everyday piece that dresses up or down depending on how you style it.

About the Fabric

This style is constructed from a fully synthetic polyester weave. Polyester is a resilient, low-maintenance fiber often used to achieve a crisp shirt-like finish while staying lightweight and colorfast. The fabric can be woven to mimic brushed shirting and holds structure well, which is why it’s commonly used in hybrid “shacket” designs.

Fabric Advantages — Why it’s useful

• Durable and abrasion-resistant — holds up to regular wear and repeated washing.
• Color retention — dyes stay vivid over time, so plaids look sharp longer.
• Wrinkle resistant and quick to dry — easy care for travel and everyday life.
• Lightweight warmth — provides an extra layer without unnecessary bulk, ideal for layering.
• Often more affordable than natural-fiber alternatives and easier to machine launder.

Fabric Drawbacks — Things to consider

• Less breathable than natural fibers — may feel warm in high-heat, humid conditions.
• Can cling or generate static; may show pilling over time in high-friction areas.
• Heat-sensitive — avoid high-heat drying or ironing to prevent damage.
• Environmental considerations — polyester is a petroleum-based fiber; for lower impact, look for recycled polyester options.

How to Measure the Garment (so you can compare)

To match the fit you see online to your body, measure the piece flat and compare with your body measurements plus the ease you want.

• Chest/Bust (flat): Lay the garment flat, smooth it, measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Multiply that number by two to get the full circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back. For dropped-shoulder styles, measure from the point where the sleeve seam meets the body fabric.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam (or where the sleeve meets the body for dropped shoulders) to the cuff.
• Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the collar) down to the bottom hem at the center back.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem while the garment is laid flat if you want to check how it will sit over hips.

How to Measure Yourself (for the best size match)

• Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape parallel to the floor, breathing normally. Use this as your primary comparison point.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other.
• Arm length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the shoulder tip down to the wrist bone.
• Torso length: Measure from the base of your neck (center back) down to where you want the hem to land.
• Always measure wearing a garment similar to what you’ll layer under this shacket (a tee or a thin sweater) to ensure spacing is comfortable.

Choosing Your Size — Practical Fit Notes

• If you prefer a sleeker look that layers over tees only, choose the size where the garment’s chest measurement is 1–3 inches larger than your body measurement.
• For a comfortable, relaxed fit that layers over thin to medium knits, look for 3–6 inches of positive ease.
• Want to wear bulky sweaters underneath? Allow 6–8+ inches of ease or pick the next size up to preserve mobility in the shoulders and arms.
• Because the cut is relaxed with dropped shoulders, shoulder seams will sit slightly lower than on a tailored shirt — if you prefer defined shoulder lines, consider sizing down or selecting a more fitted style.

Model & Visual Reference

If product images include a model, check the page for that model’s height and the size being worn to get a visual reference. When that information isn’t shown, use the garment flat measurements and the fit guidance above to recreate the look: a slightly roomy silhouette on the model usually indicates the garment was photographed in its intended relaxed size.

Seasonal Wear

This piece is ideal for transitional seasons — spring and fall — when you need extra coverage without heavy insulation. It works well on cooler summer evenings and as a mid-layer in milder winter climates; in very cold weather use it under a heavier coat.

Color & Styling Suggestions

Plaid brings visual interest and coordinates easily with solid basics. Pair with neutral bottoms (denim, black or camel) to let the pattern stand out, or mix textures—corduroy, leather, or brushed knits—for depth. For color guidance:

• Neutrals: white tee, black jeans, or straight-leg denim keep the look classic.
• Earth tones: olive, tan, rust, and camel work well with warmer plaids.
• Layering: a slim hoodie or lightweight sweater underneath creates a casual, street-ready outfit.
• Buttons closed and belted at the waist create a more structured silhouette; open and oversized reads relaxed and casual.

Care Tips & Quick Do’s and Don’ts

• Wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent to protect color and fiber integrity.
• Turn the garment inside out before washing to reduce surface abrasion and fading.
• A low-heat tumble or air-dry is safest; remove promptly from the dryer to reduce creasing.
• A low-temperature iron or a handheld steamer will smooth wrinkles; avoid very high heat that can deform synthetic fibers.
• Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers; treat stains promptly following product-safe methods.

Care Guide — To Keep It Lovely Longer

1. Sort laundry by color and fabric type; wash with similar weights to prevent excessive rubbing.
2. Use a mesh laundry bag if you launder frequently—this minimizes snagging and pilling.
3. Close buttons and fasten any snaps before washing so the garment retains shape and hardware won’t catch on other items.
4. For pilling, use a fabric shaver or a gentle sweater comb on low setting; test a small hidden area first.
5. Store folded or on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder stretching; keep out of direct sunlight to preserve color.

Style Tips — Outfit Ideas

• Weekend casual: layered over a white tee, slim jeans and white sneakers.
• Polished-casual: wear over a lightweight sweater with ankle boots and tailored trousers.
• Dress it up: button and add a slim belt at the waist; pair with a midi skirt and heeled boots.
• Street-ready: layer over an oversized hoodie with tapered joggers and chunky trainers.
• Transitional outdoor look: combine with a beanie, straight-leg denim and waterproof boots.

FAQ

Will this shacket keep me warm?

It adds a moderate layer of warmth—ideal for cool, not freezing, days. For colder weather use it as a mid layer beneath an insulated coat.

Does it stretch?

The weave is stable with little mechanical stretch; pick a size that allows the ease you want rather than relying on fabric give.

Is it lined?

This item is designed as a single-layer piece with the same outer fabric on the inside, so it won’t have a separate full lining layer.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes—use cold water on a gentle cycle, turn it inside out, and dry on low or air-dry for best results. Avoid high heat settings.

How do I prevent pilling?

Wash inside out with similar fabrics, use a gentle detergent, avoid excess friction in the dryer and remove promptly when dry. Use a fabric shaver for any pills that develop over time.

What should I do if the plaid fades?

Store out of direct sunlight and wash in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid chlorine bleach. Colorfastness is generally good with polyester, but taking these steps helps maintain vibrancy.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes—this style includes practical front pockets suitable for small essentials and hand-warming.

How do I pick between sizes if I’m between?

If you plan to layer heavy knits underneath, size up. For a closer silhouette or minimal layering, choose the smaller size. Refer to the garment flat measurements and the ease guidance above.
