Why It Works
A vertical stripe blazer with genuine tailoring details that reads polished from the first impression.
- Peak lapels and gold-tone buttons give the double-breasted front a sharp, finished construction that reads more elevated than a standard notch lapel blazer.
- The vertical stripe in blue, navy, and tan coordinates with solid navy, grey, and white trousers already in rotation, without requiring a matching set.
- The high-hip length and ruched sleeves add visual interest while keeping the silhouette clean and appropriate for client-facing environments.

Fit Logic
- Silhouette: Tailored through the chest and torso, hitting at the high hip; double-breasted front with peak lapels and structured shoulders; ruched sleeves add volume between elbow and wrist
- Best For: Works well on straight and hourglass frames; the high-hip length is proportional on petite to average heights; pair with slim or straight trousers to balance the volume of the ruched sleeves
- Styling Tip: Wear open over a fitted white V-neck tucked into straight-leg trousers for a clean, layered look that keeps the stripe pattern as the focal point
Care Notes
- Fabric: Woven stripe fabric, likely cotton or linen blend based on visual appearance — material not explicitly stated
- Washing: Dry clean recommended for structured blazers of this construction; check care label before washing
- Drying: Lay flat or hang to dry if hand washing is permitted by care label
- Ironing: Press on low heat if needed, using a pressing cloth to protect buttons and fabric surface
- Special Notes: Gold-tone buttons should be protected during any cleaning process to preserve finish
