Bogner Mikka Jacket - Embellished Soft Shell (For Women)

Compliments galore! A real attention-getter. I love this soft shell jacket (I got it in black). I wore it to work today and received numerous compliments. I wore it before around my family and also got compliments. The cut is very stylish and flattering. I especially like the two-way zipper. It is a little snug in the arms, so if you want to layer, you might want to order 1 size up. I wore it with a thin silk turtleneck underneath. It gives extra warmth in a cold room/office, and is sleek enough to wear under a coat or jacket. I like this shell so much that I just ordered another in off-white. I hope it looks as good as the black! I am trying a medium this time instead of the small with the hope that I can wear a heavier garment underneath. I highly recommend this stylish garment!

I now have this jacket in black and in off-white. Normally a size small, the size medium works better for me for layering. If you had to choose just one color, I would get the black. It's more versatile and doesn't soil as easily. Either way, I love this jacket!

This states soft shell and is from a reputable snowsports apparel manufacturer, yet wouldn't ever see the outdoors. I would say that is more like a track jacket than a "soft shell" which is synonymous with something you would wear on the ski hill.

Nice touch of bling for the holidays, not too much that you couldn't wear it around town. I would have liked the torso tighter, for more cold air blockage but I read how the sleeves were tight so I ordered my regular size. It fits well and looks great too, a wardrobe classic!

The pictures do not convey the amount of dazzle due to the rhinestones against the black fabric. There is also a large patch on the arm that feels a little too showy to me. The whole thing feels a little over the top to me and limits the jacket's versatility: it's great for skiing in Gstaad, but I'm not sure I'm going to have many other uses for it. Still, I basically like it.
