Velvet Urban Blazer

If this jacket could talk, it would have a lot to say. All of it in velvet, obviously. This is the kind of outerwear that practically throws itself over your shoulders and says ‘You’re fabulous’ - all before you’ve even had your morning latte. Structured lapels? Check. Longline silhouette that glides past the hips? Double check. That plush velvet texture does this odd thing where, depending on the light, it almost seems to change colour. A chameleon of luxury fabrics if there ever was one.

There’s more than a whiff of power blazer here - double-breasted button closure, sharply tailored lines, and pockets for everything from lip gloss to existential dread (the latter optional). The chest welt pocket is decorative, but don’t fret; you have functional flap pockets at your disposal. The oversized marbled buttons do more than their fair share of heavy lifting, visually speaking. And it’s not lined, so if you’re the type who runs hot or simply can’t be bothered with fussy layers - this one’s for you.

This jacket gets its stretch from a 95 percent polyester and 5 percent elastane blend. Machine washable too. Because no one has time for dry cleaning these days - not when there are so many outfits to assemble and much velvet to flaunt.
