FAQs

What occasions is this blazer best suited for?

This blazer is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, graduation ceremonies, race days, and formal receptions. It can also be styled for sophisticated semi-formal events.

How do I ensure the best fit with the slim cut?

Refer to the detailed size guide provided by Karen Millen. Given the slim-fit nature and sculpted waist, consider your measurements carefully, especially around the bust, waist, and shoulders.

Can this blazer be worn in warmer weather?

The compact stretch fabric offers breathability, making it suitable for events during warmer months, especially when styled with lighter underlayers. However, it is a tailored piece, so consider the specific event's formality and climate.

What should I wear underneath this blazer?

For a formal look, pair it with a silk camisole or a fine-knit top. When worn as a co-ord, no additional top is needed for the double-breasted front. For a contemporary look, a simple silk camisole works well.

How should I clean this blazer?

Due to the material composition, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the quality and shape of the blazer.

Does the sculpted waist have any stretch?

Yes, the blazer is made from a compact stretch fabric, which allows for comfort and movement while maintaining the structured, sculpted silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Blazer appears creased after wear.

Hang the blazer on a padded hanger and allow it to rest. For persistent creases, use a cool iron on the reverse side or a steamer on a low setting.

Fit is too tight in the shoulders.

As this is a slim-fit garment, it's advisable to consult the size guide carefully. If minor adjustments are needed, a professional tailor may be able to assist, though significant alterations to structured tailoring can be challenging.

Fabric has lost its shape.

Ensure the blazer has been stored correctly on a padded hanger. The compact stretch fabric is designed to hold its shape; significant loss of shape may indicate improper storage or care. Professional dry cleaning can sometimes help restore fabric structure.
