Nife Tailored Women’s Jacket — Water-Resistant Stretch Fabric, EU 36–42
$329.25
Description
A tailored jacket that works across contexts — structured enough for a boardroom, relaxed enough for a working lunch. Nife’s professional jacket is cut from a stretch fabric blend of viscose, polyester, and spandex that holds its shape through the day without restricting movement. The water-resistant finish adds practical resilience for unpredictable weather without adding bulk. Available in blue, beige, and black across EU 36–42 (US 4–10).

Measurements are garment measurements, not body measurements. For a fitted look, match your body chest measurement to the garment chest. For a relaxed fit, size up. Tolerance ±1–2 cm.
Not Best For: Heavy rain or prolonged wet weather — the water-resistant finish repels light moisture but this is not a waterproof shell jacket. Not recommended for dry-clean-only wardrobe routines without checking care label; the stretch fabric requires gentle handling.

Why This Jacket
- Tailored without being rigid: The spandex component gives the fabric enough stretch to move naturally through a full day of meetings, travel, or events — the tailored cut holds its structure without holding you in.
- Water-resistant for real conditions: The finish handles light rain and drizzle without the visual weight of a technical shell — you get weather practicality without sacrificing the professional aesthetic.
- Versatile colour range: Blue reads as a professional alternative to navy; beige transitions between seasons; black works across every occasion. All three are wardrobe anchors, not statement pieces.
- Cropped to the hip: The 53–56 cm length is designed to sit at the hip, making it easy to layer over trousers, skirts, or dresses without bulk at the waist.
- Nife design language: Nife is a Polish contemporary womenswear brand with a consistent focus on clean lines and wearable structure — pieces that function across contexts without needing to be styled around.
Styling Notes
- Blue: Pairs well with white, cream, or grey separates. Strong choice for a client-facing or presentation look.
- Beige: Works across seasons — pair with camel or chocolate tones in autumn, or keep it monochrome with ivory and sand tones for a lighter spring look.
- Black: The most versatile option — pairs with everything and transitions seamlessly from day to evening.
- Layering: The cropped hip length works well over straight-leg trousers or a midi skirt. Avoid pairing with oversized or A-line bottoms, which can disrupt the tailored proportion.
Care Instructions
- Always follow the garment care label as the primary reference.
- Gentle machine wash or hand wash in cool water recommended for viscose-polyester-spandex blends.
- Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry to preserve shape and stretch integrity.
- Iron on low heat if required; avoid direct high heat on the fabric surface.
- Do not bleach. Store hung to maintain shoulder structure.
FAQ
Is this fully waterproof?
No — the jacket has a water-resistant finish that repels light moisture and drizzle, but it is not a waterproof membrane jacket. For heavy or sustained rain, an outer waterproof layer would be needed over or instead of this jacket.
How does the sizing run?
The jacket is cut to standard European sizing. If you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up. The stretch fabric accommodates some variance, but the tailored cut is designed to be fitted through the chest and waist.
What are “blue 2” and “beige 2”?
These are secondary colourway variants within the blue and beige families — slightly different tones or finishes within the same colour range. If you’d like to know the specific difference before ordering, contact us and we’ll confirm the exact shade details.
Can I wear this to a formal event?
Yes — the tailored silhouette and clean design make this suitable for formal professional settings, presentations, and events. Pair with a tailored trouser or pencil skirt and a simple blouse for a complete formal look.
