Polka Dot Long Sleeve Blazer | Dark Blue / S 100100855524265

Overview

A smart, feminine polka‑dot blazer that balances polished structure with everyday ease. The jacket is cut to sit as a versatile top layer—ideal for work, meetings, weekend plans or travel—and the small amount of added stretch keeps movement comfortable without losing shape. Its playful print updates classic tailoring so it pairs as easily with jeans and sneakers as with tailored trousers and heels.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

Pros

• Durable and colorfast: the synthetic base holds printed patterns sharply and resists fading from regular wear and washing.
• Low‑wrinkle and travel friendly: keeps a neat appearance after packing or long days of wear.
• Comfortable recovery: a small amount of stretch gives freedom of movement and helps the blazer keep its silhouette.
• Easy care: forgives everyday handling and washes well with basic home laundry routines when cared for properly.

Cons

• Less breathable than natural fibers—may feel warmer in high temperatures or direct sun.
• Can attract static and, over long use, develop small pills in high‑friction areas.
• Synthetic garments can shed microfibers in the wash; environmental impact is higher than with natural or recycled fibres unless specified otherwise.
• Sensitive to high heat—excessive ironing or high dryer temperatures can damage the elastic component and alter fit.

About the materials

The jacket is made from a polyester‑based fabric blended with a small amount of elastane (commonly known as spandex or Lycra). Polyester is a strong, thermoplastic fiber that dyes well, resists shrinking and wrinkles, and dries quickly. Elastane provides stretch and shape memory so seams don’t pull and the garment returns to its original form after movement.

Practical pointers: avoid high temperatures and strong bleach on elastane blends; chlorine and hot water accelerate elastic breakdown. If environmental impact matters to you, look for recycled polyester options or reduce microfiber release by washing less often, using a laundry bag, and selecting lower‑spin cycles.

How to measure the garment (if you want to compare)

Measure a blazer that fits you well laid flat on a smooth surface—fasten any closures and smooth fabric before measuring.

• Chest (bust): measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other and multiply by two.
• Shoulder width: measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Back length: measure from the center back at the base of the collar (nape) down to the hem.
• Hem width: measure across the bottom edge and multiply by two to get the full circumference.
• (If you also have pants in the set) Waist: measure across flat waistband and double; Inseam: measure from crotch seam to hem.

How to measure yourself and choose the right size

Take these body measurements while wearing a thin layer or undergarment similar to what you'll wear under the blazer. Keep the tape snug but not tight.

• Bust: around the fullest part of your chest.
• Waist: at the narrowest point of your torso.
• Hips: around the fullest part of your seat.
• Shoulder width: from the tip of one shoulder to the other across the back.
• Arm length: from shoulder tip to wrist with elbow slightly bent.

Match your body measurements to the seller’s garment measurements. Suggested ease (difference between garment and body measurement):

• Fitted look: ~1–3 cm (0.5–1 in) ease at bust
• Classic/comfortable: ~4–8 cm (1.5–3 in)
• Layering/oversized: ~8–12+ cm (3–5+ in)

If you are between sizes and prefer a tailored silhouette, pick the smaller size; if you plan to layer sweaters or want a relaxed fit, choose the larger size. Always check shoulder measurements first—if the shoulder seam sits past your natural shoulder you’ll feel restricted across the chest and upper arm.

Model & styling reference

Product imagery often shows a sample on a model for proportion reference. Industry sample sizes and model heights vary—use the photos to see how the blazer hangs (close‑fitting vs. relaxed) and rely primarily on the garment measurements rather than the model's appearance. If the product page lists the model’s height and the size worn, use that as an additional guide.

Color notes and how to combine it

Polka dots are inherently versatile. Pairing suggestions based on common colorways:

• Monochrome (black & white): anchor with solid black trousers or a white tee for a clean, sophisticated look. Add a red accessory (bag, shoe) for a chic pop.
• Navy with light dots: pairs nicely with camel, mustard, burgundy or cream pieces for a warm palette.
• Light ground with dark dots: fresh for spring—combine with pastels or soft denims.
• Mixing prints: keep one print large and the polka dots smaller; match color families and use neutral grounding pieces to avoid visual clash.

Accessories: a slim belt over the blazer to create a defined waist, a silk scarf for a retro touch, or a statement brooch for desk‑to‑dinner polish.

Style & occasions

• Office: worn with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for modern office polish.
• Casual days: layer over a tee and jeans—sneakers or loafers keep it relaxed.
• Evening / date night: style with a slip dress or high‑waist skirt and pointed heels.
• Travel: wrinkle‑resistant fabric and stretch make it a dependable layering piece on planes and trains.

Season suitability

Best for transitional seasons—spring and autumn—when a light structured layer is needed. It also works well indoors year‑round (air‑conditioned offices, restaurants). In colder weather use it under a heavier coat; in warm weather choose breathable underlayers and avoid intense afternoon heat.

Care tips & fit notes

Quick fit notes

• If you expect to wear the blazer over thicker knits, select a size with extra ease.
• Check shoulder seams first—proper shoulder alignment ensures the rest of the silhouette sits correctly.
• If you prefer the blazer to be worn closed for formality, make sure the chest measurement allows comfortable arm movement without pulling.

Quick care tips

• Turn the blazer inside out before washing to protect the surface and print.
• Use a gentle cycle with cool or lukewarm water and mild detergent.
• Remove promptly from the washer and reshape while damp—prefer air drying on a shaped hanger for best results.
• Use low heat if you must tumble dry; high heat will damage the elastic fibers.
• Steam rather than press with a hot iron; if ironing is necessary, use a low setting and a pressing cloth.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Spot clean first: attend to spills immediately with a mild stain remover suitable for synthetics—test in an inconspicuous area.
2. Wash thoughtfully: wash on a gentle program inside a mesh bag to reduce abrasion and fiber shedding. Avoid harsh bleach and strong solvents.
3. Dry carefully: reshape and hang to dry; if you use a dryer, choose a short, low‑heat cycle to preserve elasticity.
4. Refresh with steam: a handheld steamer removes wrinkles and odors without direct contact that can flatten the fabric’s texture.
5. De‑pill & de‑lint: use a fabric shaver on low power and a lint brush for the final finish—especially around cuffs and underarms.
6. Store properly: hang on a wide, padded hanger to keep shoulder shape. For long storage, use a breathable garment bag and avoid plastic for extended periods.
7. Small repairs: re‑stitch loose seams and replace buttons promptly to extend the blazer’s life.

Style tips — 6 ways to wear

• Sharp office: blazer + tailored trousers + silk blouse + pumps. Keep jewelry minimal.
• Weekend chic: blazer over a plain white tee, high‑rise jeans, and white sneakers.
• Layered autumn: thin turtleneck underneath, ankle boots and a wool coat on top.
• Night out: wear over a slip dress or a cami and midi skirt; add strappy heels and a clutch.
• Belted waist: cinch with a slim belt for a contemporary, hourglass silhouette.
• Office to evening: swap trousers for a leather skirt and heels—same blazer transforms instantly.

FAQ

Q: Is this blazer true to size?

A: Fit preference varies—follow the measuring guidance above. If you like a tailored look, choose the size that gives modest ease; for layering choose the larger option.

Q: Can I machine wash it?

A: Blends with a polyester base are generally machine washable on gentle cycles with cooler water. Use a mild detergent, wash inside out and consider a laundry bag; avoid very hot water and long, high‑heat drying.

Q: Will the polka dots bleed or fade?

A: Modern dyeing techniques usually produce good colorfastness, but as a precaution wash the garment with similar colors on the first wash, and use gentle detergents to preserve print contrast.

Q: Does the fabric stretch a lot?

A: The small elastane component gives moderate stretch and recovery—enough for comfortable movement, but it’s not intended as a high‑stretch active fabric.

Q: Is it lined?

A: Lining differs by style and supplier. If lining information isn’t visible on the product page, check product images for interior finish or contact customer service. Unlined versions drape lighter; lined versions feel smoother on and layer more easily over thin tops.

Q: How do I remove pills or lint?

A: Use a fabric shaver or a lint brush. Treat pilling gently—excessive friction accelerates wear. For lint-prone seasons, a quick pass with a lint roller keeps the print crisp.

Q: Any environmental/stain care considerations?

A: To reduce microfiber release when washing, use a filter system, a dedicated wash bag, or wash less frequently. For oil‑based stains act quickly with a gentle stain remover and follow with a mild wash.
