FAQs
What is the primary material of the blazer?
The blazer is constructed from a high-quality compact stretch polyester blend.
Can this blazer be washed in a standard home washing machine?
It is highly recommended to dry clean this garment to preserve its architectural shape and the integrity of the cape sleeves.
Does the blazer fit true to size?
The garment is designed to provide a tailored, structured fit, but the stretch fabrication offers slight flexibility in movement.
Are the hip pockets functional?
Yes, the blazer features neatly tailored functional flap pockets at the hip.
How should I store this blazer to avoid damaging the sleeves?
Use a sturdy, wide hanger to keep the cape sleeves from being crushed against other garments in your closet.
Is this suitable for summer events?
The fabric is mid-weight and breathable enough for transitional weather, though personal comfort will vary based on humidity and temperature.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing slightly creased after travel
Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for 15 minutes to allow the fibers to relax, or use a handheld steamer from a safe distance.
Button feels loose after frequent use
Reinforce the thread with a matching needle and thread, ensuring you keep the button's tension consistent with the original factory setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Karen Millen blazer in optimal condition, treat it as a luxury garment. Avoid crushing the sculptural sleeves in tight storage spaces; hang the blazer on a wide, contoured coat hanger that supports the shoulder structure.
Due to the polyester-blend construction and the precision tailoring, it is strongly advised to follow the care label instructions—typically requiring professional dry cleaning. Compatibility-wise, this piece is most versatile when paired with high-waisted bottoms to complement the blazer's structured hip-length cut. When wearing outerwear, opt for a loose-fitting coat or a cape-style outer layer to avoid bunching the blazer's unique sleeve design.
