Description
AO YES Fall/Winter 2026
The Puff Sleeve Mandarin Jacket in Navy is cut in dark indigo denim with visible gold-yellow topstitching along every seam.
The mandarin collar sits close to the neck, and the front closes with four knot buttons rather than a zip or standard button-front.
At the shoulder, the sleeve is gathered into a small puff before running straight down to a fitted cuff at the wrist.
Two slanted welt pockets sit at the hip, angled rather than straight, which is a small detail that shows most clearly from the side.
Part of the AO YES Fall/Winter 2026 collection, it takes a denim base — less common elsewhere in the range — and applies the Shanghai-based label’s knot-button styling to it.
Because the topstitching is gold-yellow rather than tonal navy thread, the seam lines stand out against the dark denim rather than blending in.

The puff at the shoulder is subtle rather than dramatic — it reads as a gather rather than a full leg-of-mutton sleeve, so the Puff Sleeve Mandarin Jacket in Navy still sits close to the body through the arm.
Denim holds a crease differently than the wool jackets in this collection, so the knot buttons sit slightly stiffer against the fabric until it’s been worn in a few times.
The straight body and fitted cuffs keep the silhouette close, so it layers under a coat without adding much bulk at the wrist or shoulder.
There’s a matching black version of this jacket in the same collection, if the gold topstitching against navy denim isn’t quite the contrast you’re after.
The welt pockets are set at an angle rather than horizontal, which is easier to reach with a hand at your side than a straight pocket sitting flat across the hip.
