Animal prints have been a staple of fashion for decades, but the 80s were definitely a high point, and this lightweight dress jacket is ideal for warmer months!
Not the most extravagant example from this era, but this features black stripes, like a tiger/ zebra hybrid, on a very pale metallic gold stretch fabric. So pale as to almost look beige, but it's subtle sparkly sheen helps the elevate it beyond something so mundane. Sadly my camera is a bit naff at picking up that glittery effect!
Has five large black buttons on the front, and is unlined.
There's some very thin shoulder pads in this, but they're easy to remove if you wish.
