Product Information

Full details

This Karen Millen knit jacket is designed for the discerning adult female seeking a sophisticated, military-inspired piece for professional and versatile wear. Its key benefit lies in its masterful blend of structure and comfort, offering a polished silhouette that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to evening.

FAQs

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from a comfortable knit construction, designed to offer flexibility while maintaining a sharp shape.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for Karen Millen. Given the slim fit, consider your measurements carefully, particularly around the bust, waist, and hips.

Can this jacket be worn for formal occasions?

Yes, its sophisticated design with contrast piping makes it suitable for many professional and semi-formal occasions when paired with appropriate attire.

What is the best way to store this jacket?

To maintain its shape, it is best to store the jacket folded rather than hanging it. This prevents the knit fabric from stretching over time.

Are the chest pocket buttons functional?

No, the button accents on the chest pockets are decorative detailing and are not functional.

What type of trousers are recommended to style with this jacket?

The jacket can be styled with wide-leg denim trousers for a contemporary look, or with tailored cigarette trousers and court shoes for a more corporate engagement.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loses shape after washing

Ensure the jacket is laid flat to dry on a clean surface, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid hanging the garment while wet, as this can cause stretching. Consider using a mesh laundry bag if machine washing on a delicate cycle.

Pilling on the knit fabric

Gentle pilling can occur with knitwear. Use a fabric shaver or a fine-tooth comb to carefully remove any small pills. Avoid excessive friction during wear and washing.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth can help improve smoothness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment; no setup is required.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a versatile layering piece for adult women. It pairs well with a variety of bottoms, including trousers, jeans, and skirts, as well as different types of tops.

Care Instructions: As this is a knit garment, it requires careful handling to maintain its shape and appearance. It is recommended to follow the specific care label instructions. Typically, knitwear benefits from gentle hand washing or a delicate machine wash cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Lay flat to dry to prevent stretching. Avoid dry cleaning unless specified, as harsh chemicals can damage the fibers. Store folded to prevent stretching.
