Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment relies on structured tailoring, proper care is essential to maintain the silhouette:
- Storage: Always hang the blazer on a high-quality, wide-shoulder hanger to prevent the shoulder pads and lapels from deforming.
- Cleaning: Given the silk-blend composition, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the precision of the waist seaming.
- Compatibility: The blazer is designed to coordinate best with other tailored pieces in the Karen Millen range. It is best paired with high-waisted trousers or structured skirts to maintain the architectural balance of the look.
- Steaming: If the fabric develops minor wrinkles, use a handheld steamer on a low setting. Do not apply heavy heat or direct ironing to the structured areas as this can compromise the internal construction.
