Why It Works
A houndstooth blazer with a single-button front and cuff slit that keeps structure looking intentional, not stiff.
- The single-button front and notched lapel create a clean, uninterrupted front line that reads sharp without relying on stiff tailoring
- The houndstooth pattern in taupe, black, and blush reads as a neutral — it coordinates with solid black, ivory, and camel separates without effort
- Besom hip pockets with flaps keep the silhouette smooth while providing functional storage for a client card or phone

Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Single-button tailored blazer that sits at the high hip, with a structured shoulder, notched lapel, and a close but not fitted body through the torso
- Best For: Works well on straight and hourglass silhouettes; the single-button placement elongates the torso; the high hip length proportions well with both trousers and pencil skirts
- Styling Tip: Wear with a fine-gauge crewneck or slim blouse underneath and tuck it neatly — the clean button front rewards a smooth underlayer
Care Notes
- Fabric: Woven houndstooth suiting fabric — material composition not explicitly stated in product data
- Washing: Dry clean recommended for structured woven suiting fabrics
- Drying: Hang or lay flat to retain structure; avoid machine drying
- Ironing: Use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth to avoid flattening the weave
- Special Notes: Store on a shaped hanger to preserve shoulder structure
