A TOUCH OF CLASS

In reviewing the highlights of 2006 in Roots apparel for women, one of the great pieces was unquestionably the Denyse Jacket. It first appeared in stores in February and almost immediately started flying off the racks. Originally available only in a short version in black and kalamata, they later were also produced in a longer version in other colours (white, chili pepper and electric blue) due to popular demand.

Made from highly breathable 100% cotton French Terry fabric, the jackets blend functionality with fashion featuring details like zippered side pockets, a stylish funnel neck collar and an asymmetrical front zipper. With a flattering fit, these jackets are a great alternative to the traditional sweatshirt. They were designed by Roots Yoga Director Denyse Green with Senior Women’s Designer Jules Power.
