• Velvet fabric with a soft pile that catches the light as you move - the texture does the talking without any embellishment needed.
• Ruched sleeves sit neatly at the forearm, giving the silhouette a slightly relaxed, lived-in feel rather than a stiff tailored finish.
• Open-front design with a notched lapel - no buttons means it drapes cleanly over the body and layers effortlessly over fitted tops.
• Petite-specific cut proportioned through the shoulders and hem length, so it sits correctly without the need for alterations.
• The elastane in the composition gives just enough stretch to keep the blazer sitting smooth across the back when you move or reach.

This blazer earns its place as the piece you reach for when a plain outfit needs something more considered. It sits naturally over a scoop-neck top - as the model wears it here - and the velvet pile means it reads as far more put-together than a standard blazer would. Pair it with matching velvet trousers for a tonal look that works at a birthday dinner or drinks with friends, or break it up over straight-leg jeans and block-heeled boots for a Saturday afternoon that might turn into an evening out. The open front means it works over any neckline without fussing, and the ruched sleeves mean you can push them up slightly without it looking undone. For a baby shower or a smart-casual family gathering, throw it over a fitted midi dress and keep the jewellery simple - a delicate layered necklace, as shown, is all it needs.
