What occasions is this blazer best suited for?
This blazer is ideal for formal events such as weddings, ceremonies, or races, as well as smart office environments and elevated smart-casual outfits.
How should I determine my correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. Given the slim fit, pay close attention to the bust, waist, and hip measurements. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a slightly more relaxed fit.
Can I wash this blazer at home?
No, due to the silk fabrication, it is strongly recommended to dry clean only. Home washing may damage the fabric and its structure.

The blazer is made from a soft, tailored silk fabrication that offers a smooth drape and polished finish.
What is the length of the blazer?

Does the blazer have buttons or closures?
No, this blazer features a clean, minimalist front with no visible lapels or buttons, creating an open-front silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Blazer appears creased upon arrival
Allow the blazer to hang for a day or two, as the silk may naturally relax. If creases persist, refer to the care instructions for professional dry cleaning or cool iron on reverse.
Fit feels too tight or restrictive
Consider the slim fit nature of the design. If the fit is uncomfortable, review the size guide and potentially consider a size up if preferred, or consult with a tailor for minor adjustments.
Fabric loses its sheen or drape
This can occur with improper care. Ensure only professional dry cleaning is used, and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive heat.
