Product Insights
The Contemporaine Cinched Single-Button Blazer (195 CAD, in stock) is a fitted, single-button design with permanent shoulder pads, stretch fabric, and full satin lining that reduces friction and maintains shape, offering all-day comfort and a neat appearance when seated; its peaked lapels convey authority, and it runs true to size (sizing up yields a looser fit). A matching pant sold separately allows a complete tailored suit with fabric continuity while reducing waste from unused pieces. The shell uses recycled polyester from plastic bottles, uncommon at this price, and the Simons-exclusive Canadian design bypasses imports.

Deep Research
How it compares to similar blazers
- Choosing a peaked lapel over the standard notch lapel signals a higher degree of formality and authority—a power-dressing cue that sets this blazer apart from the legions of notch-lapel jackets in the $150–$200 bracket, giving the wearer a sharper edge in interview and boardroom settings.
- A full satiny lining elevates the interior finish well above the partial linings or unlined seams common at this price; it reduces friction against blouses, cuts down static cling, and gives the jacket enough heft to hold its shape through a full workday, making it feel heavier—and more expensive—than its price tag suggests.
- The shell incorporates polyester partially derived from recycled plastic bottles, a sustainability feature that remains rare in sub-$200 CAD workwear blazers where virgin petroleum-based synthetics dominate—it lets the buyer wear an eco-conscious piece without paying the premium typically attached to green fashion lines.
- The fitted, single-button silhouette with a defined waist is engineered to create a crisp, feminine line that stays neat when seated and photographs well, actively pushing back against the oversized blazer wave; it appeals to the buyer who wants to look tailored and purposeful rather than trend-borrowed and slouchy.
- Contemporaine is developed in Canada as a Simons house brand, which means the blazer bypasses the imported, template-driven designs that fill mid-range workwear at competing retailers; for the Canadian buyer, it carries an origin story that supports local design and provides a point of difference in an office sea of Wilfred and Babaton.
- The option to buy the dedicated matching pant separately creates a true suit at an à-la-carte cost, a flexibility rarely offered by standalone blazers from Aritzia or Banana Republic at this price point—usually, finding a color-matched bottom means compromising on shade or fabric continuity.

Q&A
4 answered- Is the blazer true to size, or should I size up if I want a looser fit?
- The blazer is described as 'fitted' in the product details, so it runs true to size for a fitted look. For a looser fit, we recommend sizing up.
- How much stretch does the fabric have? Is it comfortable for all-day wear?
- The fabric is described as a finely woven stretch fabric that combines softness and stretch, making it comfortable for all-day wear. The exact amount of stretch isn't specified, but it's designed for flexibility.
- Are the shoulder pads removable or permanently sewn in?
- The product details state 'built-in shoulder pads,' which are typically sewn in and not removable without alteration. We recommend consulting a tailor if you wish to remove them.
- What is the exact shade match between the blazer and the matching pant? Are they sold together or separately?
- The blazer and matching pant (sold separately, item 9718-229734) are designed as a set in the same color shades, so they should match exactly. They are not sold together.
