Women's Black Petite Velvet Tailored Collarless Blazer

Collarless crew neckline with a satin trim that runs the full circumference - a considered detail that replaces the lapel with something far more refined. Velvet body is offset by satin trim at the neckline, hem, cuffs and across the chest patch pockets, creating a tonal contrast that reads as intentional rather than decorative. Two structured chest patch pockets sit flat against the body without bulk, adding a utilitarian note to an otherwise occasion-focused piece. Cotton-rich velvet composition is breathable and soft against the skin, making it genuinely comfortable to wear across a full day or evening without the stiffness typical of heavier jacketing fabrics. Slim fit, cropped to approximately 60cm - it sits just at the hip and holds its shape through the shoulder and waist without pulling or gaping across the front buttons. This blazer works best when treated as the anchor of a considered occasion outfit rather than an afterthought layer. The cropped length makes it a natural partner for high-waisted tailored trousers - the model wears it here with wide-leg velvet trousers in a matching fabric, and the tonal pairing has a quiet authority that requires very little else. For a wedding or formal evening event, pair with a sleek column skirt and pointed-toe heels; the collarless neckline leaves room for a statement earring without competing for attention. It also crosses into smart daywear territory worn over a silk blouse tucked into tailored trousers, where the satin trim does the work of dressing it up. The Petite-specific cut means the proportions are calculated for a shorter frame - the hem falls at exactly the right point rather than overwhelming the silhouette. A piece that moves between occasions with very little effort on your part. | Karen Millen Petite Velvet Tailored Collarless Blazer in Black | Size 6 Colour: black
