Women's Black Sequin And Satin Collarless Tailored Jacket

All-over sequin fabric with satin contrast trim along the hem, cuffs and pocket flaps - the interplay between the two textures catches the light differently as you move. Collarless round neckline gives the silhouette a clean, architectural finish that sits flush against the dcolletage without competing with jewellery or necklines beneath. Double-breasted button fastening runs in a neat vertical column down the centre front, lending a structured, tailored intent to an otherwise statement piece. Cropped length - approximately 55cm - sits at the high hip, making it a natural partner for high-waisted skirts and tailored trousers alike. The viscose contrast lining gives the jacket a soft drape and cool handfeel, so it skims the body rather than sitting stiffly on the shoulder. The tailored cut does the heavy lifting here. Sharp, structured shoulders and a close fit through the arms give the jacket a precise silhouette that holds its shape through a long evening, while the cropped hem keeps the proportions modern rather than formal. Sequin pieces can easily tip into costume territory, but the satin trim detail and double-breasted front keep this one firmly on the side of considered dressing. The model wears it over a matching sequin midi skirt - a co-ord approach that works beautifully for a wedding, a gala, or a formal dinner where a dress feels too expected. Worn separately, the jacket pairs equally well with wide-leg tailored trousers and a sleek camisole for a cocktail event, or over a column dress at a graduation or races. The collarless neckline leaves room for a statement earring to do the talking. Dry clean only; do not iron the trim. | Karen Millen Sequin and Satin Collarless Tailored Jacket in Black | Size 6 Colour: black
