Reversible Blazer - 1940s British Linen + American Florals

$1,928.00

Rich pink tonal flowers call attention to the feminine structure of this classic blazer. This reversible piece was designed to play on contrasts: masculine and feminine, neutral and colored, tailored and soft. Works for day and night. For a sartorial touch, fold the cuffs to nod to the duality of the fabrics, then pair with everything from skirts to dresses to trousers.

Buttons
