The details
This shirt jacket has a relaxed fit, and is made from lightweight faux leather. It's designed to fall below the hip, offing up just the right amount of coverage without looking dishevelled. It also has two chest pockets to finish the casual yet polished look.
Like other barn jackets, this faux leather version can be worn as a layering piece over your favourite T-shirt or tank top, or all on its own for a more professional outfit. You can shop it on sale right now for $65, and in three colours: Sweet Pea Pink, Violet Blue Purple and Sandstorm Beige.

Editor's notes
When it came time to test this shacket out, I decided to style it with my go-to casual outfit of a graphic T-shirt and jeans.
The Sandstorm Beige was the perfect neutral shade to pair with denim, but I could just as easily see this outfit formula working with either of the other two colours, as well.
This shacket has several positive features, including the comfortable oversized fit and versatile design, as well as two hip pockets that are perfect for storing your phone or other small objects. I was also a fan of the slightly stretchy fabric that doesn't feel constricting as you move around throughout the day.
The main thing that I wasn't crazy about is how this jacket does make quite a bit of noise as that the faux leather rubs together at the arms. I work from home so it wasn't all that disruptive, but I could see myself becoming a bit self-conscious if I were to wear this for a day at the office.
