As the weather starts to cool down, fashion brands are releasing warmer fall pieces that are perfect for layering, with the new Opening Ceremony jackets being a recent example.
Dubbed the 'Warm Up Jacket' for the track-style design, the garment is marked by a two-toned colorway and accented with statement branding which appears along the length of the sleeves. On both the red and pink, as well as the navy and aqua blue colorways, Opening Ceremony's name is written in black on a white band that offers the jackets a bit more contrast.
Currently, the new Opening Ceremony jackets are only available from the brand's online store, where they retail for $275 USD and come in sizes XS through XL.
