- Is the Estelle blouson warm enough for winter?
- No. It is a lightweight blouson meant for spring and fall layering. For cold weather you would need a coat or a heavier padded jacket underneath or instead.
- How does it fit?
- It is cut as a cropped blouson with a gathered hem, so it sits at the waist or higher. Size up if you want to layer a bulky knit underneath.
- Is it waterproof?
- There is no indication it is waterproof. Treat it as a fashion layer and carry a shell or umbrella in wet weather.
- How does it compare with A.P.C.'s quilted jackets?
- The Estelle is lighter and less insulated than A.P.C.'s quilted outerwear. It is the better pick for mild days and a cleaner, sportier look; the quilted styles are warmer.
- What should I wear it with?
- It pairs well with high-waisted jeans, tailored trousers or a midi skirt, and over a plain tee or fine knit. Keep the layers light so the cropped shape stays clean.
- How should I care for it?
- Follow the care label inside the jacket. As a general rule, avoid tumble drying and hot ironing, and check the fabric composition before cleaning.
- Where is the a.p.c. Estelle blouson jacket cheapest?
- At trenbe, for $263.00, as of our latest check.
