The tailored jackets

1. Black Crepe Fitted Waist Jacket

Three jewel buttons pull in the waist, with classic lapels. This is the jacket to buy first, and it pairs with every black crepe pant and skirt.

2. Ivory Crepe Fitted Waist Jacket

The same cut in ivory, with three buttons. Wear it over black for contrast and over ivory as a suit.

3. Black Crepe Shawl Collar Jacket

Longer, with long shawl lapels and a single jewel button. It layers over evening dresses as well as trousers.

4. Ivory Crepe Shawl Collar Jacket

The exaggerated shawl collar in ivory, the strongest statement jacket of the season.

5. Navy Crepe Scarf Jacket

Single-breasted, with a detachable scarf that fixes to the neckline in a waterfall drape.

6. Black Crepe Crop Jacket

A high neck, a single button and curved lapels, cut to stop at the waist over a long skirt.

7. Mocha Cropped Fur Jacket

Dark chocolate faux fur in horizontal bands, cropped. It goes over a gown in winter and over denim at the weekend.

House classics still available

The Black Crepe C Blazer and the Black Crepe Single Breasted Jacket are plainer tailoring. The Black Italian Wool Belted Coat is the house coat for winter. For evening, the Black and Ivory Piuma Fur Boleros and the Chocolate Moray Faux Fur Jacket sit over gowns.

How to choose

For work, the fitted waist jacket. For occasions, the shawl collar and scarf jackets, because the collar does the dressing up. Over a long skirt, the crop jacket. For winter evenings, the faux fur. Every crepe jacket matches the pants and skirts in the same colour; see Carla Zampatti suits for the pairings.

Fit

Carla Zampatti jackets are cut close through the waist. Take your usual AU size; if you are between sizes across the shoulders, size up and have the waist taken in. The model in the house photographs is 178cm and wears AU 6. See the size guide for UK, US and EU equivalents.
