Collared Neck Sleeveless Denim Jacket | Black / S 100100526291162

Overview

A collared, sleeveless jacket cut in a denim-inspired silhouette designed to give structure without the weight of traditional denim. Think of it as a versatile layering vest you can add over tees, lightweight sweaters and dresses — it brings an instant edge and clean lines while staying breathable and easy to style.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

Pros

• Soft, silky hand and excellent drape — it layers smoothly over tops and dresses without feeling stiff.
• Lightweight and breathable — comfortable for warm days and transitional weather.
• Holds dye well — keeps rich color and can have a clean, uniform finish that looks like denim without the weight.
• Comfortable against the skin — less abrasive than traditional cotton denim, especially for sleeveless wear.
• Easy to style — behaves like a casual jacket but can be dressed up for smarter looks.

Cons

• Less durable than woven cotton denim — will not develop the same rugged aging or heavy-duty abrasion resistance.
• Prone to wrinkling and can weaken when wet if handled roughly — needs gentle laundering.
• No mechanical stretch — sizing must allow ease for layers and movement.
• Some variations can pill or lose shape with heavy wear.
• Environmental impact varies — conventional production processes can use chemicals unless manufactured in a closed-loop/eco variant.

About the material

The jacket is crafted from a cellulosic, semi-synthetic fiber commonly called rayon (viscose family). Rayon is produced from wood pulp or plant cellulose that is chemically processed into fibers. It’s prized for a soft, cool-to-the-touch finish and a drape similar to silk or lightweight cotton. Compared with traditional cotton denim, this material is lighter and more fluid while still allowing denim-like washes and finishes.

Important material notes:

• Breathability: good — suitable for warm weather or layered looks.
• Color & finishes: accepts dye well, so washes and stonewash effects can be vivid.
• Care sensitivity: less tolerant of high heat and rough mechanical action than cotton denim; follow gentle care practices to maintain shape and color.
• Sustainability: rayon’s footprint depends on fiber sourcing and manufacturing method — eco-friendlier alternatives include modal and lyocell (TENCEL®) which use more sustainable processes.

How to measure the garment (recommended method)

Always measure the actual jacket laid flat on a smooth surface. Close any buttons so the front lies flat.

• Bust / chest (jacket): measure straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam, then multiply by 2.
• Shoulder width: measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Top length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the collar seam) straight down to the hem.
• Armhole depth: measure from the top of the shoulder seam down to the bottom of the armhole.
• Hem width: measure straight across the bottom edge and multiply by 2.

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

• Bust / chest (body): wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, across your shoulder blades and over the bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Measure wearing a similar-weight top or your usual undergarments.
• Shoulder width (body): measure across the upper back from the bony point of one shoulder to the other with arms relaxed.
• Upper arm / bicep (optional): measure around the fullest part of your upper arm if you plan to layer bulky sleeves underneath.
• Torso length (optional): measure from the base of the neck (where your neck meets your shoulders) down the front to where you want the jacket hem to fall.

How to choose the right size — simple rules

Because the fabric has no mechanical stretch, allow extra room for layering and movement:

• If you want a closer, neat fit over a lightweight tee: choose a jacket whose bust measurement is approximately 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) larger than your body bust.
• For comfortable layering over a sweater or multiple layers: aim for 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) of jacket ease over your body bust.
• If you prefer an oversized, intentionally roomy look: 6–8+ inches (15–20+ cm) of ease.
• Check shoulder width — if the jacket’s shoulder seam is narrower than your natural shoulder, the armhole will feel tight even if bust measurements match.

Model & fit information (what to expect)

Product imagery for similar sleeveless collared jackets commonly shows a model wearing a small or medium to illustrate the garment’s drape and proportion. Typical e-commerce models are usually between 5'7" and 5'10" and wear a size small for a slightly fitted look — however, exact model stats are not always provided. The jacket’s silhouette is intended to be structured but not restrictive; expect a clean shoulder line and a straight or slightly boxy body.

Quick fit note: because there is no fabric stretch, if you plan to layer thicker knits beneath, size up or consult the garment measurements against your own.

Color & combination ideas

The denim-inspired finish works as a neutral in most wardrobes. Here are pairing suggestions based on common denim tones:

• Classic indigo / mid-blue: pair with white tees, striped shirts, camel knits or floral dresses for a timeless casual look.
• Light wash: contrast with deeper shades — navy trousers, burgundy skirts or black boots to balance the softness.
• Black or charcoal wash: great for monochrome outfits, leather accents and evenings — try black skinny jeans and a graphic tee.
• Stone or vintage washes: pair with earth tones (olive, rust, mustard) or faded denim for a relaxed layered appearance.

Accessories: add belts at the waist for definition, layered necklaces to soften the collar, or a bandana for a casual western edge.

Style & occasions

This sleeveless collared jacket is a crossover piece — it can be styled for:

• Everyday casual: over tees and jeans or shorts for an easy, put-together outfit.
• Streetwear: layered over hoodies or long-sleeve tees, worn with cargo pants or high-waist trousers.
• Boho / festival: over flowy dresses and romper silhouettes as an outer layer without hiding the outfit.
• Smart-casual: over a lightweight blouse or shirt dress with a mid-heel and tailored pants for office-casual settings.

Season suitability

• Ideal for spring and summer because of its breathability and sleeveless design.
• Perfect as a transitional layer in early fall; add long-sleeve tops underneath.
• In colder months it can work as an inner layer beneath a coat or worn indoors over heavier knits.

Care tips & fit notes (quick)

• Wash gently and avoid high heat — the fabric is more delicate than traditional denim.
• Always fasten buttons before laundering to help the garment keep its shape.
• Because there is no stretch, allow adequate ease when choosing a size, especially across the shoulders and chest.
• If the jacket has decorative finishes or wash effects, turn inside out before washing to protect the surface.

Care guide — keep it looking great longer

1. Pre-wash: check for spots and pre-treat gently with a mild detergent or stain remover suitable for delicate fabrics.
2. Washing method: use cold water on a gentle or delicate cycle, or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
3. Protect the garment: turn it inside out and fasten buttons to reduce abrasion during washing.
4. Drying: reshape while damp and hang to dry or lay flat away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you use a dryer, select a low-heat, short cycle.
5. Ironing/steaming: use a low-heat iron or a garment steamer to release wrinkles; a pressing cloth prevents shine. Steam is often preferable for delicate cellulosic fibers.
6. Storage: hang on a shaped hanger to keep the collar and shoulders in form. For long-term storage, use a breathable garment bag — avoid plastic sealed bags.
7. Minor repairs: keep spare buttons and use a gentle hand to reattach; for loose seams consider a professional tailor to preserve lines and finishes.

Style tips — 12 ways to wear it

1. Classic: white tee, high-waist jeans, white sneakers — a low-effort everyday outfit.
2. Layered: thin turtleneck under the jacket with wide-leg trousers for a refined fall look.
3. Dress it up: over a slip dress with ankle boots and delicate jewelry for an evening out.
4. Denim-on-denim: contrast washes (lighter vest, darker jeans) for a modern double-denim effect.
5. Boho mix: over a maxi floral dress with sandals and a floppy hat for festival vibes.
6. Work casual: over a button-down blouse and tailored culottes with loafers.
7. Edge: over a band tee, leather pants and combat boots for a grunge-inspired outfit.
8. Sporty: layer over a hoodie and joggers — keep proportions balanced with a slimmer bottom.
9. Monochrome: black vest, black top, black jeans and gold accessories for a chic, elongated silhouette.
10. Belted: add a wide belt at the waist to transform the boxy shape into a tailored silhouette.
11. Summer-ready: pair with a tank top, denim shorts and espadrilles for a warm-weather look.
12. Office-friendly: wear over a sleeved sheath dress with heeled mules to make a soft business-casual statement.

FAQ

Is this a true denim jacket?

It has a denim-inspired look, but the fabric is a lightweight, cellulosic fiber that mimics denim finishes rather than heavy cotton denim — you’ll enjoy a softer, more fluid hand and lighter weight.

Will it stretch with wear?

The fabric does not have mechanical stretch. Some relaxation (very small) can occur after repeated wear, but plan sizing with ease for layering rather than relying on stretch.

Does it shrink?

Some shrinkage can occur if exposed to high heat. Follow gentle, cool laundering and low-heat drying or air drying to avoid unwanted size changes.

Can I iron or steam it?

Yes — use a low-temperature iron or a steamer. Use a pressing cloth if ironing to avoid shine on the surface.

Is it warm enough for winter?

As a sleeveless, lightweight jacket, it’s best for spring, summer and milder fall days. In winter, use it as a stylish inner layer beneath a warm coat or over bulk-free knits indoors.

How should I treat stains?

Pre-treat with a mild detergent and gently blot stains. For oil-based stains, a delicate degreasing pre-treatment helps. Avoid aggressive scrubbing which can damage fibers and finishes.

Are pockets functional?

If pockets are present they are typically designed for light use (phone, cards). For heavy items avoid over-stuffing to preserve shape — check product photos or details for pocket confirmation.

What if I’m between sizes?

If you plan to layer bulky pieces underneath, choose the larger size. For a sleeker look over thinner tops, choose the smaller size — check garment measurements against your body measurements and follow the ease guidelines above.

How long will the color last?

With gentle washing (cold cycle, turn inside out) and air drying, color will retain much longer. Avoid prolonged sun exposure when drying to prevent fading.

Can I get it altered?

Small alterations (take in at the sides, shorten hem) are possible, but because of the sleeveless design and structured collar, major reshape alterations can be complex — consult a tailor for options.

Final notes & styling encouragement

This collared, sleeveless jacket is a flexible wardrobe investment — it updates simple outfits with structure and personality while remaining light and comfortable. Pair it with casual basics for everyday ease or layer it into more composed looks for a contemporary tailored finish. If you like pieces that give multiple styling options and bridge warm and transitional seasons, this is an excellent addition.

Tip: Compare your favorite jacket’s flat measurements to the product measurements and allow 2–6 inches of ease depending on how you plan to layer — this will ensure a confident fit.
