Deep Research
Where Contemporaine by Simons fits in the market
- Contemporaine is an exclusive private label from Canadian retailer Simons, designed in Canada — a model that bypasses the typical brand markup and allows the $350 CAD price to cover Portuguese manufacturing and a full satiny lining, effectively giving the shopper a contemporary-level blazer at a price more often associated with mass-market workwear.
- Contemporaine’s product description notes the matching pant is sold separately, and Lyst’s catalog shows the collection spans silky camis, organic tees, knit skirts, and stretch pants — indicating the brand is designed for building a coordinated, interchangeable work capsule, so this blazer can serve as the anchor of a fully integrated Contemporaine outfit rather than a one-off purchase.
- The Lyst editorial explicitly frames Contemporaine as “understated elegance” and “comfortable luxury” for the “discerning shopper,” defining a brand ethos that is more about refined, lasting wardrobe building than trend-driven fast fashion — a signal that this $350 blazer is meant to integrate seamlessly into an existing polished closet rather than stand out as a novelty.
How the relaxed straight fit actually fits
- The two-button closure and straight hem eliminate waist suppression, so the blazer can be layered over thicker knits without pulling — the relaxed lines stay intact whether worn open or buttoned.
- Portuguese cut-and-sew is known for precise seamwork that preserves fabric drape — for a viscose blazer this means the relaxed silhouette hangs cleanly from shoulder to hem without puckering, which is critical for a piece meant to move fluidly.
- The full satiny lining and built-in shoulder pads give the soft viscose a tailored backbone — the blazer maintains a clean shoulder line and structured drape, so the relaxed fit reads as polished rather than slouchy.
How dense viscose wears and drapes
- Viscose fabrics are known to wrinkle easily, but on a relaxed-fit blazer, wear creases contribute to the laid-back, smart-casual aesthetic rather than compromising a crisp tailored line — so it looks intentional and lived-in rather than messy.
- The 'soft, supple, and dense' viscose used here has more body than the typical lightweight viscose blouse, so it drapes with the liquid flow of a luxury suiting while holding the relaxed straight silhouette without clinging — important for a blazer meant to bridge tailored and casual.
- Viscose fibers have a density of about 1.5 g/cm³, which gives the fabric a naturally fluid, body-skimming fall — the reason this blazer moves with you in soft folds rather than standing stiffly, much like a lightweight wool suit jacket.
- The full satiny lining slides easily over layers, so the blazer doesn't bunch up when you move; it also provides a whisper of structure that helps the unlined dense viscose shell keep its relaxed straight shape instead of collapsing into too-soft slouch.
- Because viscose is a regenerated cellulose fiber with a smooth surface and good moisture absorbency, it feels noticeably cool against the skin when first put on and breathes better than polyester, making this blazer genuinely comfortable for all-day wear in climate-controlled offices or mild outdoor temperatures.

Q&A
2 answered- Is this blazer dry clean only, or can it be hand washed or machine washed on a delicate cycle?
- Based on the viscose fabric and satiny lining, we recommend dry cleaning only to preserve the shape and drape. Viscose can shrink or lose structure in water, and the inner lining may not withstand machine or hand washing.
- Are the piped flap pockets functional, or are they decorative?
- The piped flap pockets on this blazer are functional. You can use them to store small items like keys or a phone, though they are designed more for style and occasional use.
