Description
A quintessentially Parisian take on utilitarian workwear, refined through A.P.C.’s signature minimalist lens.
The Alizée buttoned jacket embodies the understated elegance that has defined A.P.C. since its founding in 1987. Inspired by classic French chore jackets — a silhouette rooted in the workwear traditions of early 20th-century Europe — this piece is reimagined with the clean lines and contemporary proportions that Jean Touitou’s label is celebrated for. The relaxed yet tailored cut offers an effortless drape, making it an ideal transitional layer for the modern wardrobe.
Crafted from a substantial yet supple fabric, the Alizée jacket features a button-front closure, structured shoulders, and practical patch pockets that nod to its utilitarian origins. The considered details — from the precisely placed seams to the slightly dropped shoulder — reflect A.P.C.’s commitment to refined simplicity. Versatile enough to layer over a fine knit in cooler months or throw on with a tee in milder weather, this jacket captures that effortless Parisian cool the brand has championed for decades.
