Puff Sleeve Shawl Collar Blazer | Brown / S 100100375261331

Why this longline shawl-collar blazer belongs in your wardrobe

A longline blazer with a soft shawl collar and sculpted puff sleeves—this piece blends tailored polish with a distinctly feminine silhouette. The clean, single-color finish makes it a versatile outer layer for everything from office looks to evening outfits. Designed to sit longer than a classic blazer, it creates a streamlined, elongating line that works equally well over a slip dress or slim trousers.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

Pros

• Durable and colorfast: polyester holds dye well and resists fading, so the color stays vibrant wash after wash.
• Shape-holding: the fabric keeps the tailored drape and the structured puff-sleeve silhouette without constant steaming.
• Low-maintenance: it resists heavy wrinkling and dries quickly, making it convenient for travel.
• Lightweight and unlined: the lack of lining keeps the blazer lighter and more breathable than many fully lined suit jackets.
• Easy-care: can be laundered at home with gentle handling and recovers its look quickly with a steamer or light press.

Cons

• Limited breathability: synthetic fibers can trap heat compared with natural fibers—consider this for very warm climates.
• No natural stretch: because the fabric contains no elastic fiber, mobility is less forgiving—allow proper ease when sizing.
• Static and pilling risk: polyester can build static or develop pills over time where there’s friction; simple anti-static and de-pilling care can manage this.
• Environmental considerations: conventional polyester is derived from petroleum; look for recycled-PET alternatives if sustainability is a priority.
• Less insulating than lined jackets: the unlined construction is lighter but provides less warmth in very cold weather unless layered.

Material details — what "100% polyester" really means

The blazer is made entirely from polyester (commonly polyethylene terephthalate, PET). Polyester fibers are synthetic, engineered to be strong, abrasion-resistant and quick-drying. In suiting and outerwear, woven polyester is often finished to mimic the drape of natural fibers while offering better wrinkle resistance. Modern polyester can be produced from recycled plastic bottles (recycled PET) — check the item tag or product page if recycled content is important to you.

Practical notes about polyester:

• Care-friendly: tolerates machine washing when treated gently and dries quickly.
• Heat sensitivity: avoid very high dryer temperatures and direct high-heat ironing (use a low setting or press cloth).
• Microfibers: polyester can shed microplastic fibers during washing—use a washing bag or a filter if you are concerned about this.

Fit notes & what to expect

The blazer is a longline style with volume at the upper arm from the puff sleeves and a soft shawl collar that creates a smoother front silhouette. Because it's unlined and has no fabric stretch, the shoulder fit and sleeve circumference determine comfort more than a knit jacket would. If you plan to wear chunky knits or multiple layers underneath, choose additional ease or size up.

• Shoulder emphasis: puff sleeves visually broaden the shoulder—an excellent way to balance wider hips.
• Longline length: creates an elongating effect; consider proportions when pairing with skirts and pants.
• Unlined construction: lightweight and less bulky, but less insulating than fully lined blazers.

How to measure — body and garment

Tools you need

• Flexible cloth tape measure
• Mirror (or a friend to help)
• Thin top or the bra you usually wear under jackets

Measure your body (for the best size match)

1. Bust/Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, across the nipples and around the back. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and breathing normally.
2. Natural waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso—usually above the belly button and below the ribcage.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat, usually 7–9 inches below the waist depending on your height.
4. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder bone straight across the back to the other shoulder bone.
5. Sleeve length: From the shoulder point (where your shoulder seam would be) down to the wrist with your arm slightly bent.
6. Upper arm circumference: Around the fullest part of your upper arm—important for puff sleeves and layering.
7. Back length: From the nape of the neck (base of the neck where it meets the shoulders) to where you want the blazer hem to fall.

Tip: record measurements in inches and centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm) and measure twice to ensure accuracy.

Measure the blazer (flat-lay method)

1. Lay the blazer on a flat surface with seams smoothed and buttons closed.
2. Chest across front: Measure from armpit seam to armpit seam and multiply by two to get full chest circumference.
3. Waist across front: Measure the narrowest point on the body of the jacket seam-to-seam and multiply by two.
4. Shoulder width: Measure seam-to-seam across the back shoulder line.
5. Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the cuff hem.
6. Center back length: From the center back neckline to the bottom hem for overall length.
7. Hem width: Measure the bottom edge seam-to-seam and multiply by two.

Once you have garment measurements, compare them to your body measurements and add the desired ease (see below).

How to choose the right size — ease recommendations

Because the fabric has no stretch, choose a garment with appropriate extra room (ease) depending on how you intend to wear it:

• Fitted look: 0–2 inches (0–5 cm) of ease at the bust — close to the body with minimal layering.
• Classic/comfortable: 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of ease — suitable for shirts or thin blouses.
• Layering/oversized: 4–6+ inches (10–15+ cm) — wear over sweaters or multiple layers.

If you frequently wear thicker knits, or if you are between sizes, favor the larger option to protect mobility across the chest and upper arm.

Season suitability & layering ideas

This longline unlined blazer is a great transitional piece:

• Spring & fall: Ideal as a top layer over blouses, tees and lightweight knits.
• Cool summer evenings: Use as a lightweight cover-up over dresses.
• Mild winter: Layer under a heavier coat or over thin turtlenecks and thermals—add a scarf for extra warmth.

Care tips & fit reminders

To maintain the blazer’s structure and appearance:

• Wash gently: use a cold or cool gentle cycle, fasten buttons, and turn the blazer inside out before laundering.
• Protect shape when drying: reshape the shoulders and hang to dry on a shaped or padded hanger; avoid prolonged high-heat drying.
• De-wrinkle with a steamer for the quickest, safest results; if ironing, use a low temperature with a press cloth.
• Store on a wide hanger to keep shoulder shape and prevent creasing along the sleeve puff.
• Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to remove pills and surface fuzz; anti-static sprays can reduce cling.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Spot-treat stains promptly: Blot liquids right away; use a mild detergent solution for oil or makeup marks and rinse thoroughly.
2. Turn inside out: Before washing to protect the exterior finish and color.
3. Use a delicates bag: If machine washing, place the blazer in a mesh bag to reduce friction.
4. Low heat only: If a tumble dry is necessary, use the lowest heat and remove while slightly damp to prevent misshaping; air hanging is preferable.
5. Refresh between washes: Hang in a steamy bathroom or use a garment steamer to remove light odors and wrinkles without a full wash.
6. Store properly: Avoid crowded closets; pad the hanger to keep shoulders from flattening and use breathable garment covers for long-term storage.

Style tips — how to wear it

• Work-ready: Pair with a crisp blouse, tailored ankle trousers and pumps for a modern office look. Keep jewelry minimal to let the lapel and sleeve detail shine.
• Casual weekend: Throw it over a fitted tee and high-rise jeans with sneakers or loafers for polished off-duty style.
• Evening out: Layer over a slip dress or tailored jumpsuit with strappy heels and statement earrings to balance the soft collar and puff sleeves.
• Belted silhouette: Add a wide belt at the natural waist to transform the longline blazer into a more defined, hourglass shape.
• Balance volumes: Since the sleeves add shoulder volume, pair with slim or tailored bottoms (skinny jeans, pencil skirts, tapered trousers) to keep proportions elegant.
• Color blocking: A neutral blazer anchors bold trousers or prints; conversely, choose a brighter blazer with neutral pants and simple shoes to let the color pop.

Color and combination ideas

If you choose a neutral shade (black, navy, camel, cream): pair with tonal separates for a refined monochrome outfit, or add a bright accessory for contrast. If the blazer is a bold color, keep the rest of the look understated—simple tops, neutral bottoms and clean shoes—to keep the silhouette the focal point. For evening, mix textures: silk blouse, matte blazer and patent shoes create a layered, luxe effect.

FAQ

Q: Is the blazer lined?

A: This style is constructed without a full lining, which keeps it lightweight and less bulky.

Q: Does the fabric stretch?

A: The material does not contain elastic fibers; expect minimal give. Allow sufficient ease for layering.

Q: Can I machine wash it?

A: Yes—gentle home laundering is appropriate if handled carefully (cold-cycle, inside-out, gentle detergent). Use low heat or air-dry to preserve shape.

Q: Will the puff sleeves make my shoulders look too broad?

A: Puff sleeves add shoulder emphasis by design. They create a flattering balance for narrower hips and can make the waist appear smaller when paired with fitted bottoms. If you prefer less volume, try sizing for a sleeker silhouette or choose a different sleeve style.

Q: How do I remove wrinkles?

A: The safest method is steaming. If ironing, use a low temperature and protect the fabric with a press cloth to avoid shine.

Q: Are there pockets?

A: Pocket styles vary by production run—consult the product images or details on the item page for confirmation.

Q: What should I do if I’m between sizes?

A: Because the fabric doesn’t stretch, size up if you plan to layer or prefer relaxed movement. Size down only if you like a snug, tailored fit and don’t plan heavy layering.
