| Jacquard Knit-Effect Blazer: Choose this if you want a tailored, single-breasted blazer in a dark patterned grey jacquard knit that drapes elegantly rather than in a stiff woven suiting fabric. It offers a classic tailored profile with notch collar, two-button closure, piped flap pockets, button cuffs, built-in shoulder pads, and a full satiny lining, with a straight hem ending near the hip. Contemporaine is a Simons exclusive designed in Canada, and this style is offered in Patterned Grey in sizes 2 through 16 and is shown paired with matching straight-leg pants as a two-piece suit.[1,2,3,4] | Woven Checks Single-Breasted Blazer: Choose this if you want a women's single-breasted blazer in a small woven check of blue, brown, beige and white, made of reprocessed 100% cotton with a silky 100% polyester lining. It offers a slightly fitted cut with shoulder pads, notched lapel, single front button, piped flap pockets, and three-button cuffs, with a matching skirt sold separately. Its hip-length, nubby-check weave suits those who want a textured look rather than a smooth knit or sheen.[5,6,7,8] | Single-Button Pure Linen Blazer: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable blazer in pure linen — it is made of 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ certified European linen with a washed weave and a full thin cotton lining. Choose it for a fitted, single-breasted look with a single-button closure, notch lapels, piped flap pockets, built-in shoulder pads, and a single back vent; the listed variant comes in red in size 4. Note that, as shown in photos, the linen weave develops soft natural creasing on the sleeves and front panels, which is worth expecting in a linen piece.[9,10,11] |
