Why It Works
A houndstooth blazer cut precisely for petite proportions, with a 26-inch length that preserves the leg line and a single-button front that keeps the silhouette sharp.
- The 26-inch petite-specific length sits at the high hip, avoiding the visual truncation that standard-size blazers create on shorter frames
- The single-button front and notched lapel work over tailored trousers for a client meeting or over a dress for an evening event
- The polyester-viscose-elastane shell holds structure through a full day without wrinkling or losing its shape between morning and evening

Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Single-button tailored blazer with a notched lapel, structured shoulders, and a clean high-hip finish at 26 inches; cut close to the body without being restrictive, with a light elastane content that allows ease of movement
- Best For: Petite frames under 5'4"; the 26-inch length avoids overwhelming shorter proportions and keeps the leg line visible when worn over trousers or a midi skirt
- Styling Tip: Pair with slim or straight-leg trousers in a solid neutral to let the houndstooth pattern carry the look without competing texture
Care Notes
- Fabric: Shell: 79% polyester, 19% viscose, 2% elastane; Lining: 100% polyester
- Washing: Dry clean only
- Drying: Do not machine dry; lay flat or hang after dry cleaning
- Ironing: If needed, press on low heat through a pressing cloth to protect the houndstooth weave
- Special Notes: The structured shell and full lining are best maintained with professional dry cleaning to preserve shape and pattern integrity
