Auralee’s Reversible Jacket Swings Between Navy and Chartreuse

Auralee has engineered a reversible blouson that transforms with a zip and a turn. The jacket arrives in deep navy cotton on one side, its front panels and collar cut with the kind of geometric precision the Tokyo label has become known for, whilst the reverse surface glows in an arrestingly pure chartreuse. What makes this design transcend novelty is the discipline of its construction: the navy exterior, worn with a pale blue shirt layered beneath, reads as a classically composed sportswear piece, its lines clean and its proportions generous without sprawl.

Flip it inside out, and the same jacket becomes a chromatic statement. The acid yellow demands attention against the cream coloured background, turning the piece into something far more deliberate and contemporary. This is not a gimmick but a genuine expansion of wardrobe utility, allowing a single garment to inhabit two entirely distinct moods. The colour choice itself speaks to Auralee’s particular gift: they understand that high saturation need not mean gaucheness when placed against precision tailoring and thoughtful placement.

Cotton construction throughout ensures the fabric moves with substance rather than cling, and the blouson silhouette sits between fitted and relaxed, neither oversized nor tailored too tightly. Buttons run down the front with quiet authority, whilst the collar and cuff detailing maintain the architectural quality that distinguishes Auralee from more casual sportswear. The piece sits at the intersection of the label’s two great talents: an almost obsessive attention to garment construction and a fearlessness around colour that somehow always feels measured rather than impulsive.

The collection is available through Mr Porter.
