Description
A quintessential bohemian staple that straddles the line between a jacket and a cover-up, the Nage Libre jacket is perfect for wrapping up post-swim as evening approaches. Its clean, straight silhouette features a prominent collar that accentuates the neck and chest, alongside flared, cropped raglan sleeves enhanced by a back yoke detail for a refreshed look. Offered in both a long version that extends below the knee and a shorter cut that grazes the hips, with options for a collar or without, this piece is adaptable to your fabric choices and personal style.
Recommended Fabric
The choice between a fluid or a defined appearance hinges on your preference. Opt for materials like viscose, cotton sateen, crepe, light to medium weight jacquard, fine wool, or fine gabardine, ranging from 120 to 300g/m2 for your jacket. To enhance structure, apply iron-on interfacing to the lower sections of your bust and sleeves, using strips that are 3 cm in height.
