How does the fit compare to typical blazer sizes? Is it true to size for a fitted blazer?

This blazer is described as a 'long fitted style,' so it is designed to have a tailored, close-to-the-body fit, not a relaxed or oversized one. The stretch cotton-blend twill gives a little ease, but we recommend sizing up if you prefer a less snug fit or plan to layer much underneath.

What are the care instructions for this blazer? Can it be machine washed or does it require dry cleaning?

This blazer is best dry cleaned to preserve its shape, shoulder pads, and satiny lining. We don't recommend machine washing, as the structured twill and lining may not hold up well.

What is the length of the matching belt? Is it adjustable or a fixed length?

The matching belt is designed to be tied at the waist, making it adjustable in length to fit your preferred fit. We don't have the exact belt length, but since it ties, you can customize it.

Product Insights

This Icône blazer combines feminine ruffle sleeves with sharp tailoring for a versatile office-to-evening piece, offering a defined waist via a self-tie belt and shoulder pads that prevent bunching. At $69.95, it undercuts similar M&S and Next blazers while adding a fitted silhouette, soft twill luster, and satiny lining that enables smooth belt glide. The 3% spandex provides comfort, but the dry-clean-only care requirement protects the lining and tailored fit.

Deep Research

How this blazer stacks up against the competition

The blazer is marked down 46% from its $129 CAD original price, a discount deeper than the typical 30–40% seasonal markdowns on simons.ca exclusive designs, signaling a clearance-level deal on a current-season item.
As an Icône by Simons piece designed in Canada, the blazer bypasses import duties and middlemen that inflate prices of comparable imported brands; at $69.95 CAD, it offers the exclusivity of a private-label design without the premium, a positioning few competitors can match at this price.
M&S's best-selling Ruched Sleeve Blazer at £49.50 (~$84 CAD) uses a crepe fabric with no belt and a relaxed fit; the Icône blazer at $69.95 CAD offers a more structured, waist-defining silhouette through its matching belt and built-in shoulder pads, effectively out-delivering the UK high-street staple on tailoring and design for a lower price.
Next's Relaxed Ruched Sleeve Blazer retails between £44–£46 (~$78 CAD) but comes in a relaxed, shapeless cut with no belt; the Icône blazer's sale price nearly matches it while delivering a long fitted style with a self-tie belt, making it a smarter buy for anyone seeking a defined waist.

Styling the ruffled sleeves for work and beyond

Underneath, a fine-gauge turtleneck or a simple camisole creates a smooth canvas that contrasts with the textured ruffle sleeves, ensuring the blazer's long, fitted line remains the focus and preventing pattern competition from interrupting the silhouette.
Built-in shoulder pads extend the shoulder line, creating a crisp horizontal edge that offsets the vertical ruffle — this structural anchor keeps the blazer from reading as a costume piece, so even with dramatic sleeves, the overall message is authority with a romantic twist.
The removable self-tie belt transforms the blazer from a structured work piece when cinched to a flowing, romantic jacket-dress when worn open over a sheath — the belt defines the waist and controls the volume of the sleeves in the cinched mode, while the open mode lets the ruffles drape freely.

How the twill fabric wears through the day

The diagonal ridges of the twill weave subtly catch and reflect light, giving the fabric a soft luster and three-dimensional appearance that reads as more elevated than a flat-woven jacket — this is what makes the chocolate colorway look rich and the natural shade feel like a true neutral rather than a washed-out khaki.
Twill fabric's natural drape gives the blazer a smooth, body-skimming line that avoids the stiffness of cheaper blazers — the fitted cut holds close without pulling, so the silhouette stays sharp whether you're sitting, standing, or wearing the self-belt for waist definition.

How the self-tie belt shapes your figure

Because the blazer’s long fitted cut extends past the widest point of the hip, cinching the belt creates a natural flare over the hips rather than the squared-off silhouette that shorter jackets produce when belted, making the hourglass effect appear effortless.
A self-tie fabric belt—which this blazer comes with—can be cinched tight for a sharply tailored waist or loosened into a soft knot for a relaxed shape, letting the wearer adjust the silhouette throughout the day without carrying extra accessories.
The built-in shoulder pads provide a firm anchor that resists the downward pull of the belt, preventing the shoulder seams from drooping and avoiding the slumped silhouette that occurs on unstructured belted blazers.
The satiny lining allows the stretch cotton-blend twill to glide smoothly under the tie belt, eliminating the ‘lampshade’ bunching that lightweight, unlined jackets exhibit when cinched—so the waist definition stays crisp instead of collapsing into messy folds.

Behind the label: Icône’s Canadian design story

Simons began designing in-house fashion in Quebec City during the 1960s under Donald Simons, and Icône extends that tradition today — the Canada-based design studio ensures the blazer reflects a distinct North American point of view on fit and proportion, rather than being a white-label import, which matters for women seeking polish that translates across office and social settings.
As a store-exclusive label, Icône bypasses the traditional wholesale markup, allowing Simons to invest in on-trend details — ruffled sleeves, satiny lining, built-in shoulder pads — at a full retail of $129 CAD that would typically only cover a basic polyester blazer from a mall brand, making the sale price of $69.95 an exceptional value for the level of design.
The style tags 'classic,' 'romantic,' 'slim-fit,' and 'tailored' are not accidental — they signal that Icône deliberately targets the overlap between polished workwear and date-night appeal; the ruffled sleeves and self-tie belt on this blazer are a consistent expression of the brand's penchant for mixing feminine detail with sharp tailoring, making each piece a versatile softening agent for structured wardrobes.
La Maison Simons has built its reputation as an accessible and inspiring fashion brand over 186 years, with its private labels acting as the engine of that identity — the Icône blazer is not just a garment but a piece of a retail institution that has consistently delivered editorial-level style at real-life prices, a heritage that distinguishes it from a generic department-store house brand.
