The INARI top/jacket is a versatile design with pleat detailing that shapes the silhouette. The fabric is gathered softly at the bodice and flows into voluminous sleeves.
The boxy top features a relaxed, architectural silhouette. Short sleeves and a clean neckline create an effortless shape, while hidden press studs maintain a calm, uninterrupted front. The top has an easy, warm-weather character while maintaining the striking pleat structure at the heart of the design.
The jacket offers a more tailored look with a high collar and long sleeves. Fitted closer to the body at the waist, it features a visible zipper that adds a functional, utilitarian touch while preserving a playful sense of volume.
Whether made in a structured woven fabric or a soft knit, INARI strikes a balance between simplicity and drama, encouraging you to experiment with proportions in a fresh, wearable, and distinctly personal way.

Fabric Recommendations:
INARI works well in light to mediumweight fabrics, which allow the pleats to form cleanly without creating excess bulk. Crisp cottons or linens highlight the graphic lines, whereas brushed tracksuit knits, light denims, and stable sweatshirt fabrics create a softer look. Very heavy materials should be avoided as they may restrict movement and add unnecessary weight to the pleated sections.
The light grey boxy top sample is made in a linen/cotton blend (55% linen, 45% cotton, 6.05 oz/205 gsm), and the light green fitted jacket sample is made in solid viscose (100% viscose, 4.57 oz/155 gsm). Both fabrics from the Spring 2026 Light & Lush collection by Stoffabrics.
